Two 8 pin GPU connectors

remo233

Do all power supplies have at least two 8 pin GPU connectors or do you need to buy specific models to ensure the power supplies has the connectors?

No, lower end/cheaper PSUs might not have 2x8-pin PCIe power connectors, always check before you buy.

You need to check what connectors each power supply comes with. This is usually displayed on the box and on the manufacturers website.

Not all of them, especially lower wattage models, but there should be information about the types and amounts of connectors the PSU has, either on the product page of the vendor or on the manufacturers website.

The connectors you're looking for are sometimes also called "PCIe 6+2 pin"

English is not my first language, so please excuse any confusion or misunderstandings on my end.

I like to edit my posts a lot.

Thanks guys for the quick response. Can you recommend some good budget 750 watt ones with 2 connectors. I live in the UK.

I like the Adata one - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/DkWBD3/adata-xpg-core-reactor-750-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-corereactor750g-bkcus

I've got 850W and that provides power for 14600k and RTX 4080

 

Second option  - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/26rRsY/corsair-rm850x-2021-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020200-na

Most Corsair PSUs are good, RM850x is great for the price also.

 

Corsair is 850W vs Adata 750W, perhaps Corsair is even better. These aren't exactly budget, but their prices are worth it.
