"but is it safe?"Just bought a rx 5500xt which requires an 80in. I previously had a gtx 1050ti which required no power connector. I'm thinking about buying a dual molex to 8pin but is it safe?

I have a generic 500w psu, cant afford to upgrade it atm.

Ok thank you"but is it safe?"
No. Molex is not meant to provide power to a GPU.
If your PSU does not have the proper connectors for your new GPU...you need a new PSU.
Is it possible I use it for now without the 8pin but I lower the voltage in msi afterburner? Or would that not work"but is it safe?"

No, don't do this.Is it possible I use it for now without the 8pin but I lower the voltage in msi afterburner? Or would that not work

Ok, I will try to fund for a new psu lol, I have £35 to spendNo. No no no no.... Lord no.
What is your PSU? Is it a modular PSU that is missing the PCIe cable(s) or is just a cheap piece of garbage that didn't come with PCIe cables and therefore shouldn't be used to power a $200 graphics card?

I just bought one of ebay for 35 bucks, the reviews on it are good... My friend has the same one and he had no problem, should I cancel the order and wait to get another or stick with it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192238775946That's not enough to buy a PSU that's not a bomb.

The reviews on ebay I meant, sorry for the misinformationWhat reviews?!?!
That thing looks horrible. "Builder" is not a brand.
ebay? hahahahahaThe reviews on ebay I meant, sorry for the misinformation

Used google images to reverse search using the photo. Looks to be an
Xclio 700W BUILDER Fully Wired ATX PSU
You got a bad deal, scan has the same PSU for 25 pounds.
CCL has the exact same PSU labeled as "Generic"

Looks like a piece of junk. Claims to be 80+ on scan but yet has a max efficiency of 70%, and that's on 230v even.
Has 48a on the 12v rail. So it's overrated and is not a 700w PSU, though 48a isn't too bad. And it also at least has a PCIe 8 pin, though a "700w" PSU should have 4 of them...
I wouldn't touch that with a 39 and a half foot pole.
Should I cancel the order if it hadn't been shipped yet and try to buy this one?Of course that's at 230V. The damn thing can't even support any lower voltages. And while it says it can do 48A on the +12V (600W), I bet even that is at 25°C with the fan running full tilt.
And note the (lack of) certifications. Self decleration CE and RoHS compliance. No CB. Not TÜV. No UL. No FCC.
The UK split from the EU just so they could legally sell this garbage???

at least buy a 750W power supply. ( if you have more hdds or ssds, then you can use it without any problem / but if you have around 8 hdds or ssds, try something like 850W )
He doesn't need anywhere NEAR 750W!!!!!!
He could use a GOOD 450W.
The problem is I only have 30 bucks to spend, I'm on a super tight budget and I need to use the pc asap^ I would highly suggest that you bring up to speed with what is necessary in a system in terms of PSU's before you make a suggestion. Misinformation is the primary reason people end up buying the wrong things for the right work.
