[SOLVED] PSU for RTX 3070

[EternelLenz]

Hey, I need help understanding how to connect 3070 to my PSU. I have ASUS DUAL-RTX3070-O8G and PSU Thermaltake Toughpower 700W (W0106). So, 3070 requires 2x 8pins and my PSU has only one 8pin connector. Do I need a new PSU or I can connect GPU somehow? Thanks

Spoiler: Pictures of connectors

Jesus those are huge, sorry I cant control them

That's a really old model (2006). Have long have you been using it?

Since 2016 I guess, I bought it used. I did not know it was so old! Well, I should totally replace it

Yes, replace it. A high quality 650 watt model should be fine for a 3070 depending on the CPU. What CPU do you have?

I have 4790k, not overclocked

A good 650 watt will work. Here's a few at US prices since I don't know your location.

Thanks so much! And 2 PCIe 6+2-Pin Connectors would work as 2x 8pins? Is that the same thing?

Yes, 6+2 because some older cards still use only 6-pin so it works for both.
