I need to troubleshoot my GPU as I cannot overclock the card with a new PSU I have installed, even though it has more power, 650W, compared to the 600W of my old PSU. That's the PSU I want to try powering the card with, but I am unsure of the risks if there are any. I could just replace every connector in my case, but that is quite annoying to do.
I read that you can interconnect two PSUs with a certain connector, but that's not what I want. I just want to connect two PCI-E 6 + 2 cables to my GPU from my old PSU, but since the GPU is also getting power from the motherboard (i.e. from the new PSU) I don't know if that will impact anything.
Specs:
Specs:
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Gene
CPU Cooler: NH D15
CPU: i7 6700K @ 4.2 GHz
GPU: GTX 1080 @ +145 MHz Core Clock, +500 MHz Memory Clock, 120% power limit, 100% core voltage (MSI Afterburner) (this overclock was fully stable in my old system)
New PSU: EVGA G3 650W
Old PSU: Corsair CX600 (used every day since 2013, so nearing it's guaranteed life span)
If anyone knows how to go about doing this I'd appreciate it!
(even if I have no choice but to replace the new PSU with the old PSU entirely)
