[SOLVED] PCIe cable

[jtoya85]

I have a Corsair CX750M PSU that I bought back in 2014, I've lost most of the cables for it minus 1 SATA and 1 PCIe cable (and maybe the CPU 8 pin?), the PCIe cable has 2 plugs, 1x6-pin and 1x6+2-pin. I want to get a 30 series or 6000 series GPU when they become available again but what I'm asking is will that 1 cable be sufficient?

Also, what would happen if that 1 cable is sufficient and I don't have a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter in a case of the GPU needing 2x8-pin? could I plug in what I have and be okay without overclocking?

I've looked around for answers before asking this here but I can't find anything close to this problem and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, you would be fine using the 6+2-pin connection and using the 6-pin connection with a 8-pin adapter.

Don't use adapters.
Why not just buy a replacement cable? Corsair sells them and they are cheap.

I would but they are out of stock. They might get back into stock before I get a new GPU, but I was curious as to whether or not I could get buy until I can actually get the extra cable. I couldn't find any info as to how much wattage can go through the cable and if I got the GPU first I didn't want to attempt using it and have the cable melt on me.

No. The purchase of the Ferrari requires the proper insurance for the the Ferrari.

Offical specs are 75w for 6-pin and 150w for 8 pin. Another option would be to buy a cable for your psu from a place like cablemod.

CP-8920130 is actually in stock. It's actually Type 3 so it doesn't have the capacitors in the cable.
