GTX 1050 Ti OC no 6 pin power connector

[jacksonb]

I just got my Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1050 Ti OC, and I thought it was supposed to have a 6 pin power connector for better overclocking capabilities, but it doesn't. Will I still be able to overclock it well in Afterburner?

gtx 1050 ti windforce oc does have a 6 pin power connecter as you see https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Windforce-128-bit-Graphic-GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD/dp/B01M6Y671T/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1502086177&sr=1-2&keywords=gtx+1050+ti

Then it's not the Windforce OC model.

The Windforce OC definitely has a 6-pin auxiliary power connector.

The vendor has either sent you the wrong one or you ordered the wrong one.

Mine is definitely windforce, but the model name is just GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4G, is it possible that it just uses the windforce cooling system, but is a different model without the 6 pin power connector?

I guess it is pre-overclocked as it says OC, and you are right it probably uses Windforce system.

The card I linked in my earlier reply does have the 2 fan Windforce cooler, but isn't actually the Windforce edition card. Also, it does not come with the 6 pin connector - this is likely the card that OP has.

Some GPUs dont come with 6 pin connectors and use the motherboards power to use it. It should be fine because the OC models come overclocked.
