How to put 1060 in OEM desktop?

[brysenmckinney]

My computer has no 6 pin connectors coming from the power supply because it’s an OEM power supply. I am using a gtx 1050 ti right now bc it needs no 6 pin connector. I want to upgrade so could I buy a separate PSU to accommodate the 6 pin. So like run one psu on the system and the other for the graphics card?

While technically possible to run 2 psu’s it raises several issues and unless you know exactly what you are doing you could kill your whole pc.

You should upgrade the psu to one capable of handling the new setup. However we need to know exactly what system you have. Unfortunately some OEM systems use non standard fittings making upgrades difficult.

Well it is an lga 1155 mother board from hp and it has a 240 watt OEM psu with no extra 6 pin connectors. I wanted to keep the same PSU because I cannot upgrade it so I was thinking maybe use another PSU to power the 1060 with a 6 pin connector?

Question from brysenmckinney : "How can I power a 1060 with an OEM computer?"

My computer I a dell optiplex business computer and the PSU does not have any 6 pin connector to plug into a GPU but can I buy an extra PSU to use its 6 pin connector on the GPU?

Sometimes yes but usually Dell uses goofy pin layouts or odd placed connectors to make you buy another computer

What system do you actually own? If it's a full size or mid tower, you might be able to change the power supply for a better one. If it's a small form factor, you might not be able to though.

it is a SFF and the PSU is 240 watt and Connor be changed out so I wanted to buy an extra PSU just to plug the 6 pin connector into the GPU.
