Hello all,
I just ordered my new build and it is to arrive tomorrow rocking the following:
Ryzen 5 7600 non X + Pure Rock 2 Black Cooler
Sapphire 7900 XT Pulse
MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk
2x16GB Kingston Fury EXPO DDR5 6000mhz CL36
850w MSI MPG A850G 80+ Gold
2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus
be quiet! Pure Base 500DX with 5x Pure Wings 2 140mm fans
My question is in regards to my PSU and the 2x8 Pins on the Motherboard. It is my understanding, that only 1x8 EPS is fine, especially considering my CPU is rated 65w. However, my PSU gives me along two 8 - pin connectors. Is there any disadvantage / potential hazard to having both of them connected?
Also, my GPU requires 2x8 pin connectors. I'm assuming I'm supposed to run 1x8 pin from one of the connectors on the PSU, and then another 1x8 pin from another connector correct? Here are my PSU connectors for reference.
Many thanks.
