Question Can i use a 6 pin with a 8 pin GPU?

[diveshsehgal11]

My RX580 wasn't working so I tried Installing it on my Friend's PC and it worked but gave me display like this :

Screen was kinda like this :

Is this because i used a 6 pin or is it because of drivers ? i need to know as i wasn't able to get display on my PC but managed distorted Display on my friend's pc .
My GPU IN HIS PC :https://ibb.co/6HQW8Zr

His monitor is working fine , he is using a GTX1650 super and I installed a RX580 Pulse without Installing drivers

Now what is the reason for such display?

your gpu seems dead

also, 4 pin connectors are for CPUs, not GPUs, + and - are opposed so you may have burned something.
But i don't think you used a 4-pin. seems more like a 6-pin on a 8-pin slot. but hard to say.
Also, your friend should change his PSU isntead of using molex to 6 pins adapters that i see there. it's fire hazard

You sure ? , I think I'll wait till tomorrow and update , I'll use my Cooler Master MWE 550w Psu with his mobo and processor and then install mu GPU , The fact is my GPU Just came back from RMA and was working fine until yesterday(it came back Day before yesterday)

Aslo there were like 6 four pin connectors together so I thought they were for GPU , i'll update the PSU Model here

And How is my GPU exactly dead? it was giving display but distorted , Maybe I'll Try downloading Drivers Tomorrow , I wasn't even able to get display on my pc but atleast there is distorted display on his PC

2 x 4 pin connectors are for atx 12v not gpu.

On the off chance you actually managed to cram them in somehow then the fact is you've likely shorted your GPU.

The connections are completely different.

I made a mistake , My gpu needs 8 pin , and he had 6 pin , (SORRY) , Everywhere i typed 4 pin that means its 6 pin and everywhere i typed 6 pin it meant 8 pin*

Look man just tell me what is the reason for the display , the GPU ? , The 6 pin connector? or Drivers?

You need a 8 pin connector if that is what the video card uses.
