It won't work natively, since the GTX 1070 requires one 8-Pin PCIe connector. However, there are dual 6-Pin to 8-Pin adapters. Sometimes these come with GPUs in the box. You can see what accessories are bundled with specific models, chances are such an adapter will be in the box. If not you can always purchase them separately off ebay for like 2-3 bucks.

if none of those 4 6-pins are 6+2 you will probably have a problem seeing as most 1070s afaik have atleast one 8-pin PCIe power connector

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
