2 pins on gpu missing help

[R3DOPS]

I'm installing a new PSU into my computer and I noticed that two of the pins on the PSU are missing here is a photo below. Is my PSU not compatible with this gpu? It's a GTX 1070 ftw and the PSU is a evga 650 g2

GTX 2070? What are you from, the future!?

 

Anyway, if that plug did not have the detachable two-pin thingy as the one on the right, then yes, your PSU is technically not compatible with the video card. I say technically, because a GTX 1070 should not need two 8-pin plugs.

So should I get a new psu?

if it turns on and works you should be fine (until you upgrade, just do it quick) just DONT overclock at all, and if your CPU is overclocked dial it down. (i use molexx2+ to pcie 6 and cant oc)

Your PSU should have 2 places to plug in VGA power cables. VGA 1 and VGA 2. Just plug in another 8 pin VGA cable and run it to the card.

The G2 650W should have another 6+2 pin cable (believe it's two 6pin + 6+2pin cables). Use that and leave the two 6 pins cables disconnected.

Ideally yes BUT the evga 1070 should of came with a splitter that turns your one 8pin into 2.  My 1080 came with such a cable.

 

PCIe power connectors come in different configurations 4pin, 6pin, 8pin, 4+4, 6+2,

If that is the PS you have it should have 2 8pin (of the 6+2 type) as well as 2 regular 6pin.

Well, here's the break down of your options.

• Check to make sure you have another PCIe plug besides those two.
• The safest bet would be to get a PSU with the correct plugs, assuming you don't have any more PCIe plugs on that PSU. Your PSU's wattage is fine though. I have a 600W PSU with two 8-pin plugs.
• The GTX 1070 should not need two 8-pin plugs, since NVIDIA lists it as a 150W part. Two 8-pin plugs means it takes up to 375W. So it should work either way provided you weren't planning on overclocking the schnozzle out of it.

So I won't be able to get a second house GTX 1070 with this PSU?

No, wont be enough PSU cables on the 650w G2
