every founders edition card that ships with a 12 pin port will also ship with an adapter so your 8 pin cables can power the card. every non-FE card will have regular PCIe connectors.

Guys,i'm planning on buying RTX 3060 TI, but i don't know if my PSU will be able to power up my gpu. I have gp-550 ATX power supply from gamermax. can someone verify if i will be able to power it up? Thank you.

With 550 watts it will definitely be able to power it up, but I can't speak for the quality of the Gamemax GP units. @LukeSavenije might know something.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

550 definietly is enough. the thing is, my psu doesn't have 12 pin connector. Is that a big problem?
