[SOLVED] PSU and GPU compatability

[Zeriot]

Hi all,

This is my first completely independent PC build, and I'm afraid I may have run into some component compatibility issues.

My GPU (Nitro 5700xt) requires two 8 pin connections, however my PSU (Seasonic Focus 750) only has one PCI/E output.
Here is the PSU page link: https://seasonic.com/focus-gold

Both components are yet to arrive, but I'm sweating over the impeding failure of my first build... Please help

Thank you so much

Please list all build components.
You could use a 6 to 8 pin adapter cable. As long as you get a good one, and aren't coming close to maxing out your 750W Seasonic, you'll be okay. You do always run the risk of there being something wrong with adapters though.

well using an adapter is always a great idea but i guess it would work. :/
edit: meant to say ISNT

Funny. That product page says that PSU has two PCIe connectors.

What you're missing is both connectors are on the same cable.
