I am new to using a PC and swapping out parts in general. Do you think two (6+2) PCIe cables from my PSU will be compatible with the RTX 3060 12 pin slot. Which show two 8 pin slots

 

However, the way I understand it i> was that I needed at least 2 (6+2) pin cable or just two 8-pin cables. I am just trying to wrap my head around this. 

Hope I described it properly


 
Thank you for reading. 

Just wanted to put the cable I want to connect looks like this

The 6+2 PCIE cables are the 8 pin PCIE cables. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Yes

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
