msi1070 8 Pin connectors

[JKD456]

The Msi gtx 1070 has a 8pin connector socket and a 6pin connector socket whereas my PSU only has a 6+2(8) pin connector. 

Will the GPU be able to run on a 8pin connector and if so will there be any performance impacts for not using both the 6 pin and 8pin connector? 

Also, will this cause any problems with overclocking?

You use the 6+2 to make an 8 ping connector. Join the 6+2 together.. 

 

EDIT: Nope, it won't work you need to use both 8+6. Which PSU do you have?

I'd say that it's not possible to run it on just the 8 pin connector, as it will not be supplied with enough power to run correctly.

Nope. And if your PSU only has 1 PCIe conector, PROBABLY its not suitable for your graphics card.

shshshsh, the card will boot up thats all that matters. its like when my 750ti needed it, it didnt actually, but i had to have one anyway. (maybe not in this case but i've seen 1070's with just one 8pin)

The manufacturer put those connector for a reason.

To put the demanding cables in it...... is this topic for real??

Yes you MUST put both connectors or don't use the GPU at all, its so simple
