[SOLVED] Modular PSU PCI-e doubt

[n_a_m]

Hi!

I bought a Gigabyte P1000GM and I need to power up four RX 580 (six pins) and four Risers (also six pins) ATM.

I bought a pair of 16AWG 6 to 6+2 PCI-e cables. The thing is that this Modular PSU has 8 pin PCI-e slots, not 6 as the cable I purchased.

The question is. Is it safe to plug the 6+2 end in the psu or plugging the 6 pin end in the PSU (leaving 2 unused pins in one slot)?

Keep in mind that the gpus, as well as the risers, both have 6 pin slots for power

Thanks!

if these new cables are not specifically designed to be used with this power supply and not actually supported by the power supply manufacturer then you are risking killing the device and possibly everything connected to it.

I wouldn't power anything at all with a Gigabyte PSU except Aorus. P-GM are known fire hazards.
