How to check if my 6+2pin connector is working in my half modular PSU

[Brimstone]

I have a 750W corsair half modular PSU that i bought used and i am not sure if the 6+2pin works because i blew up a 2060 with it and im scared that i will blow up my new rx 6600 so how can i test if it works?

I MEANT A 6+2

Euhhh what do you mean 4+2?

 

Firstly STOP using this right now and lets analyze what is going on.

 

Pictures asap. That is NOT a official atx spec connector.

 

What is the make and model of the psu?

 

Are you using different cables?

 

How did you verify the 2060 died?

4+2 isn't a plug I'm familiar with, is it a 6+2?

Can you describe what happened here? 
it's possible that the cables aren't correct for the PSU. Do you have a multimeter? If so, you can start the PC and use a MM to test voltages are correct

I also think that the cables arent correct so i need to know how can i test it

The GPU just made a huge spark and i immiedietly turned it off

ALSO!!!

I tested an old GPU that only had a 6pin connector without the +2 and it worked with no issues

You can buy a cheap PSU tester off of Amazon, really only true way to test it unless you have a multimeter. If you don't have one, the PSU tester is usually cheaper.

On the 8 pin PCIE cable(6+2 pin) it should be yellow for positive and black for ground. Using a multimeter if it's working right you should see 12v.

To begin with: why did you buy a 12 year old PSU that was nowhere near good when it was new? Green label Corsair CX is trash!

The cx750m green label was the ok one the rest was real bad.

 

But yeah op id just replace this as I have a feeling you got some random ass cables that cost you a 2060.

 

As far as I remember that was not the font used on their cables.
