Can i run gigabyte windforce gtx 1650 OC 4G without a 6 pin connector plugged in ?

Go to solution Solved by Helpful Tech Witch,

No, most gpus need all the power. 

Anyways, it pulls way more than 75w which it needs to pull through the slot, forcing it to do that would fry the slot

Hi, i've got a gigabyte windforce gtx 1650 oc 4G i recently bought, i want to use it with the external graphics card adapter for laptop( EXP GDC V8.0) through mini pci-e.
I power the pci-e slot of the adapter with a 275w DELL 80+ gold PSU ( 1x 24 pin ; 4x SATA ; 1x 4 pin) .
I wondered if i could use my gtx 1650 that has a 6-pin connector without plugging it to 6-pin  (since the gtx 1650 is a low powered turing card) ?

And if not, how could i plug a 6-pin connector despite my PSU not having one ?

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)
