How do I connect the GPU?

[Martin Lomax]

I've got a Asus 1050ti RGB Strix have placed it in the pci slot and understand it needs power from my PSU however I only have weird wires that don't fit,if I had a 6 pin to 6 pin I think it be fine but I don't I have wei3s things to 6 pin, my pay is a corsair cx750m

Your PSU comes with all necessary cables including PCIe cable. Watch video from 4mins, and specifically PCIe cable from 4:48. 6+2 PCIe cable which the 2pin is designed to separate for 6pin card and snapped together for an 8pin graphics card.

Thanks for the answer however as the system came prwbyilt it seems I'm missing the majority of those cables included and only have the 2 data to 6 pin cables. =( and th2 cpu / motherboard recourse. Is it possible I can purchase a 6 pin to 6 pin ECT elsewhere?

Only for your specific PSU model. See if you can purchase cables from Corsair.

You run a high risk of damaging components if use any power cables from another PSU or cables sold separately as the wiring is not uniform.

Could try run the card without the 6pin, if your lucky it might work at default non overclocked speeds. If it doesn't boot then could you maybe return the card for another 1050Ti model not requiring a 6pin. Wont be missing out on much.

The is again for the reply I see the issue is it's a modualr corsair psu and it doesn't have all the cables.

I've looked online and found https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PCI-E-Modular-Power-Supply-Cable-Type-4-From-Corsair-PSU-2-x-6-8-Pin-109-/223054816742

Would this be suitable? The gpu can't be returned as was bought 2nd hand on Facebook. And it doesn't just power from the pci as I tried that after you suggested and got a message asking for a 6pin to be plugged in

I wouldn't buy that ebay cable if it were me.

Get the exact cable for that specific PSU, direct from Corsair. Even within the same brand (Corsair), modular cables are not necessarily standard.
Using the wrong one will almost certainly fry something.
