2x6-pin to 1x8-pin PCI Adapter?

[MattyBoiii]

I'm looking to upgrade my stock GTX 980 (that uses 2x6-pins) to a ASUS GTX 1070 Turbo (that uses 1x8-pin) and my PSU doesn't have a single 8-pin connector.

My PSU is a FSP 500W 80+ silver.

Would a 2x6-pin to 8-pin power adapter be suitable for this card?
Or should I go for a 1x6-pin to 8-pin?

Thanks for the help.

a dual 6-pin to single 8-pin adapter is usable



8-pin is rated at twice the wattage of a single 6-pin

I would not recommend a single 6-pin to 8-pin, no

Ok, thanks for the help.

I will give it a try and update the post as to whether or not it worked.

Won't be getting it for a couple months yet anyway.

Also, just to confirm, would my current PSU be suitable?

FSP silver rated 500w unit...


can you post the exact model number?

 

[MattyBoiii]

FSP750-50ERN

 

[maxalge]

FSP750-50ERN

that model is listed as a OEM FSP unit, 750w


there are no real reviews, but it should be ok a 1070 is more power efficient compared to a 980

Sweet! Thanks a lot for your help!

The company I got this PC from stated it had a 500W, eh, I ain't complaining haha!

if the model number is correct then the psu

has four 6+2 pcie cables

those = 8-pin, no adapter needed

makse sure that is the proper model number


look at the sticker on the psu to be sure

 

[MattyBoiii]

Really!? If that's the case, I have one of those!

And yeah, I read the model number off of the sticker.

One final thing I'd like to ask, will my processor be suitable for this graphics card (ASUS GTX 1070 Turbo)?
- i7 4790K (4.0GHz).

Really don't fancy upgrading that as well lol
