6 + 2 pin wall power plug

[Spudwell06]

I have a strange mono with propiitary power connectors and I'm adding a GPU, so is there a 6 + 2 pin power cable that goes to the wall (UK)

Do you think that your GPU runs on 230V AC?

 

Just get a proper PSU.

So a PSU just for a GPU?

Why do you only need to start the GPU?

Cause I have a PSU for a prebuilt (I know that's blasphemy) it is soldered to parts, and a GPU needs additional power (r9 390)

Well another psu is the only option here

Nearly everything that you plug into the wall has a PSU, either internally (like a desktop computer) or externally in the form of a power brick/adapter. No one makes a standalone 230V AC to 12V DC converter with a PCI-E output. Therefore, you need an entire ATX or SFF PSU.

 

However, in your situation, you should just accept that it is not feasible to upgrade to a graphics card that requires more than 75W if the proprietary PSU doesn't already have a PCI-E 8-pin. (If it has Molex, you can try adapters, providing that the PSU has enough wattage to support the GPU). Even if you hooked up a second PSU, the graphics card would be powered by two sources (75W from the motherboard and the rest from the second PSU), which have no way to communicate between themselves.

So even if I did get another psu, it would not work

Oof

Oof

It would work as long as it is plugged in in the PC and the other psu

Do you mean plug in by pcie to the mobo, and 6 + 2 pin on the extra psu?

Yeah
