Hi
I have GTX 1080TI and a Corsair HX1200i PSU. What has been happening alot after i bought this pc from an other guy is that when i play ARK Evolved my computer just shuts down completely when im using dinos with huge AOE effects... i think those moments is when the GPU is demanding more power from the PSU but the PSU fails and it all just shuts down... SO.....then i discovered that the GPU has 16 pin .... But it was attached to a pci-e cable that went from 8 pins into 16 pins....
What i then did was to connect 2 different 8 pins cables to the GPU and its working like a charm. My question is that what is the point having those split cables ( from 8 to 16 pins) when the PSU cant put out enough juice? Is my findings normal or SHOULD one 8 pin outlet from the PSU be able to provide enough power to my 16 pin GPU?
thxs in advance
