[SOLVED] Is it recommended to use 6 pin gpu connector

[Wayne(aka)Batman]

Can i use two 6 pin graphics card adaptor to power gtx 1060 OC from 2 MOLEX of my 450W PSU

No.

To elaborate: No.

1. Molex-to-PCIe adapters are basically a fire hazard.
2. If your PSU does not have the connectors required for the card, then one or both of the following is true:
   1. Your PSU doesn't provide enough power to support the card
   2. Your PSU is of low quality, and likely cannot safely provide the amount of power it claims to provide.

What is the brand and EXACT model of your PSU?

This PC should not even be turned on with that PSU and GPU combo.

Geez, I'm not sure I'd have been using this PSU even without the GPU.

It's a sub-300W PSU in post-1998 terms.

You're quite lucky this company didn't pretend they could run PCIE cards on this thing. If this thing had the proper connectors, you might not longer own a GTX 1060.

Never heard of it - that the listing doesn't even show the rail specs, and that there's no 80 Plus efficiency rating at all, suggests it's probably a disaster waiting to happen.

Click on the first link in my signature. That is my go-to, and an absolute MUST read, for getting a good PSU (and avoiding bad ones).

Good PSUs cannot be had cheaply, particularly now that we've got the pandemic happening, but they are a safety device, and important to avoid possibly frying your components.

No, also garbage with a slightly different brand name.

I personally would not get anything below Tier B on this list; I like my components running healthy and problem-free for a long time. But I absolutely would not recommend using this GPU with anything below Tier C.
