[SOLVED] small question about my Geforce RTX 2060

[David99754]

Just bought a PC today. Before I boot it I have a small question, I took one look inside, And I looked at what I believe to be my graphics card, it has a cable going into it, and a cable that is not. P-6 is in and P-7 loose.

Was hoping someone that know whats they’re talking about could just clarify that its how they’re supposed to be.

There's nothing to worry about since what you see there, are the unused PCI-E connectors.

Many PSUs come with PCI-E power cables that have two PCI-E connectors on the cable. Usually one 6-pin PCI-E and one 8-pin PCI-E connector or two 8/6-pin PCI-E connectors, which you can split to fit your GPU.

Based on what is seen in your images, you have two 8/6-pin PCI-E connectors, where one is plugged to the GPU and another is hanging freely. Since you have prebuilt PC, whoever routed the power cables, made it easy to swap GPUs when your new GPU should come with two 8-pin PCI-E connectors. But since your current GPU has only one 8-pin PCI-E connector, the unused connector could've be left behind PSU shroud, for better aesthetics.
