[SOLVED] Rm650x psu for rx 580 is it going to work?

[the plantation owner]

Hello, i bought an rm650x psu for my gpu(rx 580 nitro) and my dumbass didnt look at the pci e power cables, and there is only one 8 pin and 2x8 pin for the mobo/cpu i dont know if i can just take one of the 8 pins from the mobo bcs my mobo only uses 8 pins šo that leave the other 8 free būt i dont know if i connect the cpu/mobo 8 pin and the pci e 8 pin, idk if its gonna fry my pc or just not boot up, please help me(the psu is already here)

The 8 pin EPS connectors for the motherboard are completely different. Do NOT do that.

That PSU comes with all the PCI connectors you need for the graphics card. Likely, they are 6+2 pin connectors.

The Corsair RMx is one of the best series on the market. You could very easily do a whole heap worse. Very solid choice.

You're not a dumbass to ask questions. A dumbass is the guy who DOESN'T ask questions, and then tries to use the wrong connector in the wrong place and loses everything in a cloud of magic smoke.

At worst, you might be accused of being slightly resistant to taking advice, but that's better than just taking everything anybody says as gospel without making sure first. At least you know now and didn't make any mistakes by trying to use a connector where it doesn't belong

My grandfather once told me that the stupidest question ever was the one never asked, so ask away 👍
