No 8 pin connector

[Ryanoc94]

I so I am a new builder and I attached my gpu into my motherboard for a test boot and there are like three 6 slot pin connectors and one of them has like a 6 slot pin with a 2 pin attached. There are also two 4 pin connectors, but they wont seem to attach. I am really confused and probably whatever im saying doesnt make any sense. Please help thnx

The 6 plus 2 is the 8 pin connector for the video card. (6 or 8 pin)

The 4 and the 4 should be the motherboard/CPU power, as they are 4 pin or 8 pin

Is that the pci-e connector?

 

[Ryanoc94]

And also, Do i put the 4x4 pin into the 8 pin connector?

The first one is PCI-e video card power

They come in

6 pin
8 pin
And also the kind you have 6+2, so they can work on both types.

These also come in 2 or more sets, for crossfire/SLI.

I have no 8 pin connector for the video card, and the 6+2 pin wont fit into it. I dont understand

 

[millwright]

Neither do I.
The 6+2 is the 8.

We need pics to go any further.
At least I do.

Theese show all the coords that I have

Yes that is a completely standard set up.

It is a 8+6.
So you not only need an 8pin, you also need a 6 pin.

2 separate plugs.
If your power supply doesn't have them, an adapter can be had.

Now lets see the power supply plug.
One pic is no good without the other.

I see the other pic.

Your power supply has 2-6+2 PCI-e connectors.

So you use one as an 8, and the other as a 6.

If they don't fit, you have the only non standard system I have ever seen.
