8pin

Hi everyone! I bought a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU to replace my old GeForce 1650, and any time I connect my 8-pin 6+2 pin to my computer and the PSU, nothing happens. If I leave the power supply connected to the GPU my computer is completely silent, no fans turn on, lights on the motherboard do not...

Hi there. I just got the above graphics card, and I'm having an issue with how to supply it with power. It has a 24-pin power supply, so that means 3 x 8-pin PCIe cable. Just not sure how to connect this to the PSU. Does this need to be connected to the PCIe 6-pin connection in the PSU? If so...

Hello, please go easy on me as I haven't been into PCs or hardware for 10 years and I'm slowly learning everything from the beginning all over again. I've scoured the forums but can't figure this out. I have a new GPU that I'd like to connect and I've bought an 8 pin PCIe cable to do this, I...

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused on how to proceed with this, I bought a Nitro+ RX 590 from my friend that I'd like to install into my system to replace the RX 560D I've been using for the past 5 years, but I am worried about the power requirements: The card has a maximum power consumption of...

This may be a stupid question so I apologize in advance. I recently got a new GPU that requires a 6pin conector. I have a Modular PSU Corsair CX600M and I lost the PCI-E cable for it, so I borrowed one from my friend and it doesnt fit.. do I need a original corsair cable and if so where can I...

Howdy, So, I recently upgraded to 2x 3070 ti as found some good individual deals. My issue is both 3070 ti require 2x 8pins each - is it possible to power both of these cards (4x dedicated 8pin cables) from this power supply? As far as I can tell there is only a max of 3x 8pin power connectors...

Hi there, I currently have a Corsair RM850x 80 PLUS Gold PSU and a RTX 2080 Super which are connected by 2 x 8-pin cables (both of which have an additional loose 8pin connection on the cable). I'm looking to upgrade to an RTX 3090 (most likely the ASUS ROG Strix or MSI Suprim), but most of...

So I am trying to sleeve an 8 pin extension cable I got from amazon, but I do not have the tools to do so. I have searched everywhere on the internet, watched videos, and went through websites, but I have not seen a thing. Keep in mind, I am trying to open up the MALE connector, not the female...

I just purchased the 2070 super and noticed it requires a 14-pin PCIe connector. My previous GPU only needed a 6-pin. I have an 8-pin connector that came with the PSU. Can I just plug in the 8-pin connector and use both cables to power the new GPU, or do I need to buy a PCIe connector cable...

I recently picked up a RX 580 graphics card, It has an 8 pin connector and a 6 pin connector, from what I understand the 6 pin is technically optional unless you plan to overclock, but I'd like to get the 6 pin filled if I can. But I'm running into a problem. My PSU (a Corsair CX 550m) Has...

So, I upgraded my psu and I notice that I need a 4 pin cable for my CPU, but my psu's cpu cable is 8 pin and won't split in half. Some people say I should just plug in the half that fits and never mind the other half. I'm not sure if I should do it. (correct me if I'm wrong I'm new to...

My build has been working fine for months, but it stopped working and nothing happens when I try to turn it on. I already tried replacing the PSU and it made no difference. Now, I find that it boots and runs fine, but only if I unplug the GPU from the PSU. The GPU is only a few months old, so...

After hitting a CPU bottleneck last week, I've decided to ramp up my CPU speeds just a tad to see if I can fix that. I'm currently running stock cooling on my CPU and have ordered a Hyper 212 EVO and some MX-4 to help cool down my 2500k while I try and overclock it. I've also done some research...
