[SOLVED] Rtx 2080ti upgrade power pins

[Eternalizzard]

I just upgraded from a rtx 2080 to a rtx 2080ti, i noticed that my model(msi trio) needs 3 power pins, i always used 2 with my rtx 2080.
Im pretty much a newbie at this and any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance .

What power supply do you have, exact make and model. If it doesn’t have the right connectors it’s usually a sign it’s not up to the job.

Sorry my bad i should ellaborate ,2×8 pin comnectors and 1x6 pin connector, but i only have enough for 2x8 pin connectors

I tried to find out but its difficult to do without unplugging everything. All i know its a 650w psu.Probablt no good.

Don’t get that, it’s a no name Bronze efficiency. For a 2080Ti you want a high quality psu, it’s an investment in the protection for your system. I will take a look at options.

Ok this is high quality 650w. Please post your full pc spec, a high quality 650w should be plenty for a system with a 2080Ti but let’s be sure. I’d much prefer a high quality 650w than some low/unknown quality 850w.

From the description it has 4x6+2 pcie connectors. It is also gold efficiency and comes with a 7 year manufactures warranty.

Sizzling's advice is good. While this house-brand Curry's PSU might be OK, there's been no independent teardown and no information on the platform its on, and any PSU is guilty until proven innocent.

I would go with this PSU because it has the cables you needed its full-modular so your not limited to cables and its an well known brand and 10-year warranty but scan is an computer shop that I trust the most always shop there but with pc world do not realy trust them with gaming stuff
