i need help powering my gpu

[dylants]

I just bought an asus strix rog 1080 ti. When I plugged it into my pc, it didn't power on. My pc works without it, but not with it. It has indicators that show if it is powered or not, and they were green. Despite them being green, I think that it is the power that is making it not work. I connected 2 8 pin connectors to it, but they both said cpu on them. Is that the correct 8 pin for it? Also, do I have the right connectors for it on my power supply? I have a corsair hx1000i.

Use the PCI-e power plugs!!!

CPU? Not a cpu, Its supposed to be PCI

How do you use your computer at all? Your cpu isnt powered

That is bad, you may have fried it.  Get the PCIE plugs

That power supply might have more than 1 CPU power plug on the PSU unit itself.

Fully modular, probably has extras

my pcie plugs have 2 6+2 pin connectors close to each other and a 8 pin with one missing pin labeled type 3.  Which is input and which is output? Also, where do I plug them in on my power supply.

The PCI-E plugs are supposed to be already attached to the PSU

[Running Raptors]

The CPU ones goes into the motherboard and the the PCI ones goes to the graphics card.

Dont think you fried anything, A good GPU is supposed to have some protection

Your power supply should have labels. Also both ends of the cable should look almost the same. Gtg sorry good luck.

Not on this model, it's modular.

the 6+2 go into the GPU, the solid block of 8 go in the PSU.  Its should be the same size and you plug it right into one of the labels sockets on the PSU

Sure they do but like 600W of high voltage power can do a hell of a lot

EPS cables carry that much power? Wut.

2*8 pin on a high quality psu? yeah.  You can push 100-150W through 1 4 pin

Holy shit. Good to know lol don't f up your cables.

try putting PCIE into your CPU, like you said GPU's have built in protection.  While CPU plugs can screw with your GPU the pcie plugged into CPU will make mini fireworks before literally everything dies

[intender]

The good new is that it didnt power on.  Since it didnt power on that means the power supply was aware that it was shorted and prevented you from frying everything.  The grounds and 12v on cpu are reversed from pcie connectors so you could have possibly fried your card and motherboard if it had powered on.  Also the plugs on the two are slightly different on one pin.  the bottom right connector is a square and should not have fit in the graphics card without some excessive force being applied to it.

TBH I kinda want to see that sometime.

All 600 W are not directed to the GPU itself..

Plz correct me if I'm wrong.

Like I mentioned before, it's the way the power is directed that messes with gpu's more than anything.  A quality 1000w psu is also more than capable of kicking out some where close to 600w of (to the gpu) unregulated power.
