GTX 980 Help ! No 8 pin connectors (Project)

[Renats MC]

Hi So i bought MSI Gtx 980 4gb and i was so happy when it arrived the problem was i didn't had any two 8 pin connectors from GPU to PSU , I was in town next day looking in every shop computer and phone shop asking for connectors or similar pins , no luck was in electric repair shops asked if they can give me some similar pins no luck

So i was thinking can i use Standard wire don't know what voltage it supports but i bought it from ebay(china)

1.Cut wires
2.Stripped and taped wires
3.Used some Female connectors from fans
4.Shrink tape/wrap

The problem is No one has ever done this and i only found one forum so , im afraid to even test it ! http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33928077

So Im Using Seasonic PSU and Z97 S55 Mobo

For a graphics card like that , don't use adapters or mods, get a PSU that properly supports it.

You are risking your other components.

What is your PSU, Model number... Do not try to rig something up with your PSU if it does not have the correct connections you need to buy a new PSU.

You mean you're trying to find something like this:

Yea i just got it yesterday but for 3 day's i won't be able to get PSU to GPU connectors :/

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Don't risk it , could take out the card and other components.

 

[DelroyMonjo]

The Seasonic Power Supply should have supplied cables which fit the connections marked PCI-E. Plug them in there and to these connections on the GPU.

GTX 980 use 2two 8 pin connectors :/ so ill think i have to wait till moneday 3 day's :/ it's like sitting candy that cant be touched http://postimg.org/image/mr6938ao7/ Both sides need 8 pin connectors

Thats the one http://www.seasonicusa.com/M12II-Bronze.htm im using.

So ill be looking at 980 for 3 day's i go mad can't even use it . But i think i will take ur answer because i don't wan't to damage but if someone makes in future what i found out that is the each Pin is 12vol + http://cdn.overclock.net/f/f0/500x1000px-LL-f02106b2_SeasonicP1000PSURearPinouts.jpeg

so has to be right wire Amp http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/electric/1-amp-to-watt.htm
I seen somewhere online Diagram of AMP per pin to GPU
There are lot of wires with different AMP power rating.

Here is for my model on PSU

So in make Case i think it's 24 A per 8 pins so for 2 8 pin connectors from gpu to PSU i would need 48 A (amp)

So 24 / 8 = 3 amp ( per one wire )

It's killer card wait for the proper PSU with quality connections.

Did you receive these cables shown in the video with your PSU? 1 of the 8 pin connectors is attached to the PSU and another 8 pin (6+2) is a modular cable.

Yes i do but i will have to wait now 3 day's for the box to arrive with all my wires :/

I have all the wires yes.

Your link to the PSU isn't working for me... do you have the 620w or the 500w version? (Either should work fine)

So if i understand correctly, you are just lacking the extra 6 +2 pin/ 8 pin connectors that came with your PSU? So you are just waiting for the original PSU box (that has the needed connectors) to be shipped to you?

 

[DelroyMonjo]

The link is showing the 620 Watt version with the included cables. 2 ea. 8 pin(6+2) connectors should be available on that version.
