I am currently looking to move to a rtx 3070 and a i7 10700k, but i don't have enough cables to power them. I only have two 8 pin connectors on my psu and both are being used. Would it be safe to use two 6 pin extenders connected to one pice 6+2 pin connector?

In my current rig i am rocking a Thermaltake smart 700w PSU and currently am using it to power a 1050ti. Now for me its time to upgrade and I'm going to hopefully get enough money to buy a 3060ti when there's stock of course. Will my power supply be able to handle it and will it have the right...

I have a Corsair 750 Watt CX750F power supply unit, it seems like it has four PCIE/CPU ports. And mygraphics card requires 6 pin+8 pin power supply. I know I can use two 6+2-pin PCIe connectors for the GPU, but for the 6 pin port of the GPU, I need to leave the 2 pin dangling, it just looks...

When I bought my laptop it was with the idea to be able to upgrade it later down the line. I both it at the beginning of 2018 with pretty much the lowest specs hardware I could. It came with 8gb ddr3 ram, 1tb HDD, gtx1060 and i7-7700 HQ 2.8-3.8GHz, 45W, 6MB Cache. Over the last two years I've...

I have a PCIe 6-pin extension cable with a broken ground pin. My PC has a GTX 1650 SUPER in it. I know my GPU draws around 100W of power and the motherboard power connector should be able to deliver 75W, as for a normal 6pin connector. If one ground pin is broken on the connector should the...

Hello! I am thinking of buying a 3080 when they release, I currently have a Corsair 750 watt gold plus power supply and a i7 8700k, runs my 2080ti fine but concerned if this will be a huge bottleneck and also if my psu is okay with a 3080, everything is stock no overclock. Thanks

Hello, I have just bought a new gpu, a Rx 580 8gb nitro+, before I had a gtx 960 4gb. I have an issue, whenever I try to play games even on the same settings as I did with my old card, the pc restarts. I think the issue might be with my psu, as it is and old one and "only" 550W. I have tested...

Hi all, hope all are safe and well. I have a EVGA 650 BQ PSU and a Sapphire 5700XT graphics card. The PSU PCI-E cable is only 8-6 connector and the graphics card is 8-8. I decided (maybe stupidly) to use the vga connector which has a separate 8pin connector so essentially the graphics card was...

Someone gave me their old 5770 1GB so tried to throw it in my old system to replace a GTX 260 896MB DDR3, just to see if it was any better than what I had or even worked (he couldn't remember but thought it did). So I replace it, plug the one power connector into the 5770, but when I fire up...
