Gtx 970 6&8 pin. Only have 6&2 pin

[noksbrow]

Just got a gtx 970 today to find that it needs a 6&8 pin pcie power but I only have 6&2 pin to connect to it. Need to know if I need a new power supply or not. Using a corsair cx600 power supply.

I have a CX600M and have enough power for 2x8, or 2x6 or 1x6,1x8. Sure there isn't another cable you're missing. Only diff with mine is that it's semi-modular so all my cables aren't attached.

The corsair cx600 has two PCIe cables. The 6+2 pin is the same as an 8-pin, and can be used the GPU's 8-pin slot.

You need one of the following:

6 plus 8 pin
6 plus 6+2 pin

You should have 2 x 6+2 pin

So ....

plug in the 1st 6+2 into the 8 pin
plug in the 2nd 6 pin into the 6 pin and leave the 2 pin dangling

The CX is something you should thing about replacing anyway

my spare 500w non modular corsair has 2 6+2s on it so it should have those cables on the 600

I'll have to check, the wiring on my pc was done by some one else. Hope fully its just hidden and I can find it.

6 pin on the left , and 6+2 on the right , your PSU has the ones on the right.
