Hey everyone, i'm thinking to upgrade my graphics card to a ASUS Phoenix GTX1660 6GB, however my current power supply has only one 8 pin connector, which is already populated by the cpu. My PSU is a Hiper Type R II 770W. Is there any workaround to get phoenix to GTX using the 6pin x2 connectors or is it just a bad idea to attempt to do so?
 
Solution
It's a bad idea. If the psu doesn't already have the necessary cables/connections, then it's not the tool for the job.
Don't even consider using an adapter with that unit.
Get a new power supply.
