6-pin

My first post on the forum, so please let me know if I've done anything wrong. My friend has offered me a GTX 1660 Super for a very low price to replace my current GTX 1060. The 1060 only requires one 6-pin connector so no worries there. However, 1660's need an 8-pin. I know people have used...

So I've bought Gigabyte 3060Ti Gaming OC Pro, but didn't noted that it comes with extra 6-pin PCI-e connector compared to non-Pro version. Problem is I have older PSU that comes only with single 6+2 PCI-e connector, which if possible I would rather avoid to replace. PSU in question is Chieftec...

I have a modular power supply (Corsair CX550M). I bought a seagate barracuda 2tb. It didn't come with any cables and I realised I needed to buy them so I bought a sata cable and also this cable which I though would power my hard drive. Turns out it's male and I need female. I cannot for the life...

hello, i recently bought an r9 290 because pcpartpicker said that its compatible with my setup (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YXKP9G). But when i got it, i found out that my gpu needs 3 6-pin connectors and my psu only has one. Is there a way that i can use my gpu without buying a new psu?

So I want to order a Radeon VII but I noticed it has two 8-pin power connectors. I've had a 290x for years, and the power consumption seems to be exactly the same as Radeon VII at 295 watts, but the 290x has an 8-pin and a 6-pin, which is all my power supply has. The 6-pin connectors can...

I came home from work to find that my PC was turned off even though I left it on hulu. I turned it on and when I did it tells me to reinstall windows 10. I purchased a real copy of windows 10 from the Microsoft website. I can't get anything to work for it. What could have caused this anand how...

This thing has been bothering me for a year and everytime i ask i get the same stupid answer which makes it more complicated. The time it takes to change pixel color (response time) and the number of frames can be displayed in a second (refresh rate) is like saying the time it takes for a car...

Hello Was browsing Amazon and found this http:// I never saw a GT730 with 2gb gddr5 and 128bit, it is usually either gddr3 (2gb/4gb) or gddr5 64bit; so my question is, could this be something to consider if I 'm looking for a cheap entry level card to run older games (at 1080p) and watch...

After almost over a decade I switched back to intel from AMD. My i3 has HD510 Graphics and I ran some games and looked decent enough for something like this. I am just curious which external graphics would be equivalent to Intel HD 510?

I don't know much about audio, but I've just bought a pair of wireless B&W P7s on a whim, and want to get the most out of them. I'll be using them mostly to listen to music from my PC, such as Spotify, playing the odd game, - and I'll also be using them with my phone. For convenience, I'd like...

Im not really looking to spend over $700, that doesn't include a processor though as I already have an i7 4770k. I mainly play MMO's (WoW, GW2, maybe WIldstar). I'd like the build to include WIndows but I could also just get that separate. I already have a monitor(as well as keyboard and...

I have an apevia x-dreamer 4 case and a cx600 corsair PSU. I installed everything and it works (yay) but with the apevia case, you mount the SSD on the actual bottom of the case with screws, my HDD is right above it. I can plug my HDD and optical drive in no problem but because the SSD is at the...

So I was using AMD autotune to overclock my graphics card and it came up with 830MHz (625Mhz stock) core clock and 1188Mhz (993Mhz stock) memory clock. This is the second time I've done it too, should I just go with it? I just think it's a way more than it should be, but it does run at 80C at...
