Radeon Strix RX 560 Video card

[abhishes]

Hello, I am assembling a PC for the first time. I am watching videos on youtube to figure things out.

I have this graphics card

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126204

The videos say that I should take the PCI Express power cord (it has 6 + 2 pins) and put in the the graphics card.

However I cannot find any place on this card where either 6 or 8 pins can be placed. At the back I see 3 pins. but no 6 or 8

Has anyone used this.... where do I put the pci express cable from the power supply?

It uses single 6-pin connection. See the picture below - just where the heat pipe ends in the lowest part of picture.

My card is different than this. Here are 3 photos of the back

Then you have different model that you listed. If it has no 6-pin slot, then it does not require additional power from PSU.

Here is the photo of the box.

It says Radeon Strix RX 560.

OK. I think I got a defective piece from the factory. I will need to return it. The diagram on their website clearly shows the power pins.

But mine one has the connector missing.

Yeah, but there are 4 or 5 different versions of Asus rx 560. Yours is not the one you originally linked. Check the sticker on the side of box, it has exact code for the card model.

I also went to the shop and they did not have the RX560 in stock. but they did have a 4GB RX550 and guess what we opened the box and even that did not have the 6 pin. So at this point I am not sure whether I should return this or not.

So this is the card you bought: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX560-4G-EVO-GAMING/overview/
And it does not use any external power, so no place to plug any cables from PSU. It's ok then.

I went to this link before. but you see the photo shows a 6 pin

Look carefully and you'll see the 6 pin.

Yes, but this photo is from O4G-Gaming version, which does have 6-pin. Yours is O4g-EVO-Gaming version.
