I have a gtx 1070 ti which I wish to plug into my PSU, and I have a single 8 pin power cable with 2 6+2 connectors on the end. Could I plug both 6+2 pin cables in and not have to use a second port on my psu, or do I have to use 2 separate cables entirely. I have another evga variant of the same...

Whenever I'm doing something high-maintenance on my computer (although it has also happened at random), my screen turns black and my GPU fans go up to the maximum. The only way to stop this is by turning off the computer from the power button, but after it's turned off power is still being...

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...

The computer he has is a Dell Inspiron 3847 with an i7 in it. I don't know which 4th gen i7 so I believe at most it will sip 95w. The graphics card he plans to buy is a 1660 ti, which I think consumes like 225 w. he originally planned to use a 450w PSU until I found this forum post and now I'm...

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 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...
