Hello folks! 

Hope yous all having a great day :)

So I got that GTX 1050ti here, and it has a pcie 6pin connector on it (shocking I now, for a 75w TDP card). 

And so my question is, if I plan on running it at stock frequency, no OC whatsoever, could I possibly not plug this 6 pin? What would happen? 

I'd rather ask before blowing anything up! 

Thanks people :)

The manufacturer didn't stick a 6pin on it for no reason, it's required.   Just because most 1050 Ti's don't have one doesn't mean that card will run fine without plugging in the 6pin.   

It might run but I wouldn't even try.  The additional power might be for the cooler.
