[SOLVED] Can't find cable to connect to GPU anywhere

[nbartolo7]

Hi everyone,

My graphics card just arrived (5600 xt) and none of the two PCIe cables that shipped with PSU will fit. The card only has only one PCIe power connector as far as I can tell. It has 2 rows of 4 holes.

Am i missing something here?

Help please.

what is the psu?

What is the PSU make and model ? 2 rows of 4 means 8 pin. It can be a cable with 6+2

 

[nbartolo7]

PSU is Corsair CX650M watt modular atx power supply 80 plus bronze

modular? one end go to the psu. the other go to the gpu.

the 2x4 one go to the psu.

The cable should look like this:

Unfortunately, I can't upload pics here otherwise I would to show you all. But basically one end fits nicely in the PSU, and the other one will simply not go in the graphics card. And it's the exact cable you showed dotas1.

modular? one end go to the psu. the other go to the gpu.

the 2x4 one go to the psu.

Yes. The 2x4 wont fit. Like not even begin to fit. Wont even go halfway.

One of the ends is 3x2 but has an addendum right next to it but separate, that looks like i can combine it with. And that one is just two pins making the total a 2x4. Should I try to stick them close together and insert that one?

the 6+2 one won't go into the gpu?

Yes, that's exactly what you need to do. 6+2=8 pins.
You can upload an image to imgur and paste the link here.

Alright guys the 6+2 worked. Thansk alot.

Last question, the GPU didn't come with a display port, is that normal? I need to get one myself?

Thanks again.

Happy gaming.

 

[dotas1]

You mean display port cable or port? Ok, I reread and I think you mean cable. Yeah, most GPUs don't include DP cable.

exact model of this 5600xt?

Sapphire Pulse 6GB 5600XT

The Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT comes with 3 DisplayPorts and one HDMI port. Since they don't know which port type you will use, to keep the price low, they don't provide you with cables you may not need/use.
