Question How to connect Gigabyte Maple Ridge Thunderbolt 4 to PC power supply ?

[deeptrance8]

Hello,
I'm asking for help. I have a Gigabyte https://www.gigabyte.pl/products/page/mb/GC-MAPLE-RIDGE-rev-10/kf
I want to connect to ENDORFY Vero L5 600W PSU with connectors:
CPU 4+4 (8) pin - 1 pc.
EPS12V 20+4 (24) pin - 1 pc.
PCI-E 2.0 6+2 (8) pin - 2 pcs.
MOLEX 4-pin - 1 pc.SATA - 5 pcs.
It turns out that I have free PCI-E 2.0 6+2 (8) pin male connector from PSU
Is there an 8 pin to 2x6 pin adapter or something like that and will it work?

Thumbrule with PSU's and their connectors in a build, if you don't have the necessary connectors for your devices you either have;
a| the wrong PSU for the job
or
b| the wrong components for our build.

You can look for adapters, since they're available a dime a dozen off of the www but you'll also find out that fires can and will happen when adapters are brought into the equation. IMHO, you should swap the PSU out to something that has a couple(more than 2). How old is the unit and what has it been powering throughout it's tenure?

Thank you for your reply. My PC and all components as well are new, I'm using it for less than 3 weeks.

My PC and all components

Please list all components.

ENDORFY Vero L5 600W PSU

Very low end PSU. What's the reason you bought this unit?

 

[deeptrance8]

I've purchased ready PC set with this PSU.

Generally my assumption is as follows: I have MB Gigabyte Z790 D AX, and I would like to equip my PC with thunderbolt 4 port. Does it make any sense with this PSU?

 

[deeptrance8]

I found ASUS PCIe 3.0 x4 2x Thunderbolt 4 ThunderboltEX 4 90MC09P0M0EAY0 only here will need to use 8 pin to 6 pin adapter and not 8 pin to 2x6 pin as in the Gigabyte maple ridge card.

No, not with that PSU. Get a better one, higher quality and wattage.

Will this one be enough?
ENDORFY Supremo FM5 850 W 80 Plus Gold

or otherwise, could you please advise what parameters should PSU have if I wish to replace the graphics card with e.g. in the future?

What is your budget for a PSU upgrade?

What is your budget for a PSU upgrade?

well, 100 - 150 USD if needed.

And your location is the US? If not, please name your country and webshop where you want to buy a PSU.
