Posted December 22, 2015 You need one 8 pin with the 2 pin. And one 6 pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 22, 2015 If you can do what I said, then there is no need for that (btw. My gtx 770 doesn't even work, when i try to plug into 8 pin a 6->8 pin converter) Edit: there are pins missing (what I mean by that is those 6 pins are just fitted in 8 pin connector, useless...), but can't snap pictures cuz away "Euler was a mathematical gangster" - Prof. Edwards Frenkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 22, 2015 Thank you. Also do for the 8 pin slot : do i plug in the 6 pin starting from the right or the left? Do it in a way that the cables are least "bended", if that makes sense...

Posted December 22, 2015 Any idea why It's just in case someone has a PSU that doesn't have enough PCI-E connectors, so the GPU manufacturer includes it. You shouldn't use it if already have the required PCI-E power connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 22, 2015 I am sorry i meant do you know why it wont post? (previous replys) Oh, whoops. Check that they are seated properly, what happens to me a lot is the extra two pin thing doesn't seat correctly so there is only a 6 pin power in the 8 pin slot.

Posted December 22, 2015 Take a look at the picture below. See the 2 pin - it should "fit" (with those little tabs) to the 6 pin connector to create an 8 pin connector. Plug that into the 8 pin slot on the card. It will only go one way (check to see which side the clip is on on the cable and match that to the nub on the card connector). You may have to press with some force but you should hear it "click" into place. It needs to be properly seated all the way in. Just be careful to support the card while you're pressing the cable into the connector. Do the same for the 6 pin connector into the 6 pin slot. Again, note the orientation with the clip on the cable and the nub on the card connector.
