Question about my PSU

[Juzid]

Hi everyone,

 

first time posting here. I am upgrading my pc. When building, partpicker gives me a notification as seen in the image I’ve added. Is this something you would discourage, or should I be fine as long as I don’t overclock? 
 

also, I do have a 6+2 pin extra but If I am correct I should never plug that in to the 4pin connector, right? 
 

thanks for helping

If the 6+2 pin connector is from a different PSU then DO NOT plug it in because that will short your PSU and possibly destroy all your components so I would suggest going for a higher spec PSU such as a 650 watt from corsair or an equivalent 750w from a different company bcuz for these things pcpartpicker is normally always correct

You're misunderstanding OP. They're asking if they can use a 6+2 PCIe in place of a 4-pin EPS. 

 

For OP, that answer is no. PCIe and EPS cables are different specs and not cross-compatible. You should be fine with the single 8-pin EPS if you aren't overclocking.

Thanks. Good to know, in that case I will keep my PSU. If I want to overclock in the future I will buy a new PSU.

Neo ECO Gold Zen is a very entry level PSU. What CPU and GPU do you have?

I've a Nvidia 2070super and currently a amd 5 3600 with a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX. I am looking to upgrade my CPU to a Intel Core i5 13600KF and my motherboard to Gigabyte Z690 GAMING X. Will be keeping my GPU for now, altough my CPU prob outpreforms my GPU.
