Question My friend is giving me a free pc

[FluffyButtonsXD]

So my friend is giving me a pc and he says the only connector is a 6+2 pin and a 4+4. The gpu i want is a Asus rog strix rx 5700 xt and it requires two 8+8 pin connectors https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX5700XT-O8G-GAMING/ the powersupply that im getting is a EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 750w 80+gold and he is running a gtx 1060 6gb. Will a Corsair RM 750w 80+ gold fully modular psu have the pin connectors? Im in need of cables or something PLEASE HELP

That PSU should come with 4x 6+2 pin connectors. https://www.evga.com/products/specs/psu.aspx?pn=eac89383-65ea-4fd4-925e-fc6d7480dcb7 If he lost the cables, what I would do is try buying a new cable from EVGA.

Do not buy adapters! There have been a few threads on here about those who used adapters and they ended up melting.

Contact EVGA and say you need a couple of 6+2 PCIE cables and see what they can do for you.

Evga only sells full sets on their website(~$80), they might sell you individual replacements if you contact them. Moddiy sells individual cables.

Yes, you'd need to buy 2. Also make sure to get the correct length you need as there are 2 options 30cm and 60cm.

Yes you can always hide the excess.

 

[bignastyid]

You may only need one as it likely already has atleast 1 for the 1060.

 

[FluffyButtonsXD]

Yes you can always hide the excess.

Ok so that being said i was going to build myself a new pc in June and use the same gpu and i picked out a psu by corsair it is the corsair RM (2019) 750w 80+ gold fully modular atx psu, will that have two 6+2 cables? Or the right cables

That model uses an 8 and a 6-pin and where that PSU only has 6+2 connectors you probably don't even need to buy extra cables.

6+2 works on 8 pin and 6 pin connectors(the +2 just hangs there).

 

[FluffyButtonsXD]

6+2 works on 8 pin and 6 pin connectors(the +2 just hangs there).

I would need the +2 tho lol itll all work the same right?

Yes you'd need the full 8-pins.

 

[FluffyButtonsXD]

Yes you'd need the full 8-pins.

Just for the one side since i dont have the other 6+2?

 

[FluffyButtonsXD]

Just for the one side since i dont have the other 6+2?

But the 8 pin and 6+2 will work together if both plugged in?

??? your friend is using a 1060 that requires 2 cables, the only cables that come with that PSU are 6+2 so it has atleast 2 6+2 pin cables. The 5700XT will require 2 6+2 pin cables. So it should have the cables for the 5700xt even if they no longer have the extra cables unless they are using an adapter for the 2nd connection or have a custom 6-pin cable. Might just be best to wait till you have the system before you buy parts for it.
