Hi!
Reason behind the question is, I have managed to complete a PC out of some spare parts that I had for my cousin,
Ryzen 5 2600, Stock cooler
B450 Aorus elite
2 nvme ssds
16gb of ram 3000mhz cl16
EVGA gtx 1070 FTW that requires 2x8pin PCIe connectors,
And a Energon 650w PSU that only has one 8pin PCIe connector fot the GPU
At the moment Im sceptical to even power up the PC since Ive read some bad things regarding putting only one 8pin connector to a 16pin pin required gpu.
my question is, can I at least boot the thing up to see is everything working (not gonna put any load on the gpu besides the normal desktop stuff) on this one 8 pin connector ? And since Im not looking to spend any extra $ on this, is it a good long term solution just to get that molex to PCIe connector to populate the other slot in the gpu, since the gpu won't be overclocked or anything, it will be mainley used for school and some gaming.
