Question Is the PCI-E 2 + 6 input suitable for any GPU?

[Mohos]

Hey guys, I have a question about my psu, the psu has 4 wires of PCI-E (2 + 6) and my GPU power connectors is 8-pin x 1 and 6-pin x 1, will it work to put 6 + 2 wire in 8-pin connector and put another wire from which we take PCI-E 6 instead of 6 + 2 to be placed in the other port or not that benefit?

That's exactly what you're supposed to do...

Only four wires for a 6+2-pin PCIe??

What PSU is this?

ThermalTake Toughpower GX1 700W 80+ Gold

Do you think it will work? Will it work fine or do I need to change the psu?

Isn't that a fixed cable PSU? Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "the PSU has 4 wires of PCIe (6+2)"

That PSU should have TWO CABLES, each with TWO 6+2-pin PCIe power connectors. You can either use one cable with two connectors or just use one connector from each of the two cables and tie off the dangling extra connector.

700W have 4
use 2 and yes, tie up the unused wire
