I just "inherited" an MSI GTX 1070 ARMOR 8G OC (Micro-Star model no. MS-V330) link to likely product specification and I am trying to connect it to my power supply, which is a Corsair CX-500M link to product specification.

I have a cable with the following connectors:

All 3 plugs (left [6+2], middle [6+2], right [8]) can be plugged into the graphics card.

The plug on the right [8] is not insertable into the power supply (there's a plastic tab between the 2 square pins on the top right), but can be plugged into the graphics card--thus, the left and middle plugs can be plugged into the 8-pin socket in the power supply.

 

Can I plug the plug on the right into the graphics card and the one of the other (left or middle) plugs into the power supply?  My understanding is that the 6+2 plugs are normally for the graphics-card side, but it seems like in this case, it's the reverse.

 

 

Edit: The cable I show is definitely not from corsair.  I will contact them as you guys suggested.  Thank you!  (I realize I can make my own cable, but I'm too lazy to do it at this point.)

Are you certain that this power cable is original to this power supply? That 8 pin should absolutely go into the PSU.

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

According to the picture from their product page the cable seems to should say "pcie" not "vga."

Yeah I am thinking you might want to reach out to Corsair support and see about a replacement cable for this power supply. Their customer care is pretty good and they might replace your cables free of charge.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
