Need help

[Galette]

Hi, i am building my first computer and i have an issue with the GPU alimentation.

the only one who go in is the double one.

So how?

[nsinnott]

What power supply do you have? and what GPU? you can't make 3 from 2, so you're either going to need a new PSU, or a different GPU

It's a HX 1000i from corsair

The GPU is MSI 1080 ti lighnting Z

Oh, that PSU has plenty of connectors for that... look in the box for additional cables

[Galette]

Yes i got 4 cable like that

But how?

 

2 cable with 2 and 1 connected or 3 cable with 1 connected?

Oh, look for the small clip on the side of the +2 part (the part that is dangling off the side with 2 pins) and slide it into the 6pin part. do that for each of the connectors and plug them into the GPU

you would probably be better off using 2 with 2 and 1, just for cable management, although either way would work. sorry for my misunderstanding, I'm assuming English isn't your first language?

You'll have to have all three connectors plugged into the power supply.

Sorry, I don't know what you're trying to say. Could you try rephrasing it? Or maybe type it in French and try using google translate.

My problem is that the end of my cable is double. So I wonder how to plug it in. to know if I have to put 3 in the power supply and thus to connect 3 on the graphics card or to connect only 2? (ie by putting 2 heads and then 1 on the remaining head)

If the connectors have 2 PCIe power connectors on them (which they do), you can use just 2 cables and 3 connectors

 

Si les connecteurs disposent de 2 connecteurs d'alimentation PCIe (ils le font), vous pouvez utiliser 2 câbles et 3 connecteurs

I think I know what you're trying to say?

 

Are you saying you have a cable that branches into two pcie cables, and you're wondering if you can plug in both those since they're from the same cable?

 

The answer is yes. Plug in those two plugs that branch from one plug and then use another cable to plug in the third.

I do 1 and 2 or 2 and 1?

 

and thank you guys <3

I would use 2 cables, each with 2 connectors for a total of 4 connectors, and only use 3 of the connectors so you have one extra connector

 

J'utiliserais 2 câbles, chacun avec 2 connecteurs pour un total de 4 connecteurs, et n'utilisais que 3 des connecteurs afin d'avoir un connecteur supplémentaire

j'ai compris, la question était juste au niveau des connecteurs s'il y avait une quelconque influence au niveau des branchements. c'est à dire si je mets les 2 au débuts puis 1 à la fin ou alors si je faisais 1 au début puis 2 à la fin.

Peu importe, la source d'alimentation la manipulera

 

my French is a little bad, sorry
