Hi every one,

I bought a Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti FE and by accident I saw that the adapter 12pins to 8pins use only 6pins cf photos but the GC realy have 12pins on its pcb :front.jpg

So has anyone tried an adapter 12pins to 2x8pins like with the 3080 FE ?
I read that power is the primary limiter in overclocking this card, does it change anything to use a 12pins to 2x8pins adapter ?

Bye.

no. 12pin supplies the same amount as 2x8pin. that is because the 2pins of the 8pins are ground and do not supply any power at all.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

i've got a 2x 8 pin to 12pin cable going to my 3070 FE

 

don't O/C so not sure if it will help. but all cables are connected so possible it might give more power stablilty

 

to 3060ti FE and 3070 FE have the same PCB, the only difference is the 3060ti FE is 8 phase while the 3070 FE is 9 phase for power management

So I need to find if the power shortage is because of the gpu's vrm or the max power supplied by one 8pins connector.
Thank you very much.
