Modular psu power conectors

[Aidan Hughes]

If I plugged a 6 pin connector labelled sata into my gpu would it work if the gpu required a 6 pin

Your GPU needs a PCIE cable.

Not possible as the SATA power cables are all thin like a coin. If you don't have a PCIE cable then a molex to PCIE will work.

So it would matter?

There's no such connection that you describe and you need to use each cable for it's specific purpose.​

If you look up my power suply the Evga supernova 550w modular gold efficiency there is six pins labled as sata and six pins labled as pci-e and I was wondering if the sata could be used for the gpu

SATA is never for a GPU only VGA \ PCIE connections are.​

I thought so what are they used for?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Graphic cards go into the VGA in yellow.

 

[Aidan Hughes]

No I was asking what the sata connections are for

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

They are for storage drives and optical drives and sometimes other things , mostly for HDD and SSD.

Yeah sorry got a bit confused I know what sata cables are for and I I'm fine with all that I was just wondering if that was a posiblity and I'm not sure if you really knew what I was talking a bout as well but thanks for your feedback nonetheless
