Question So much damn power

[Niels_7]

Hey everyone,
So I'm getting a new PC and am building it with a combination of new and used parts. I'm planning to get the Rtx 2080TI gaming X trio by MSI, but what's troubling me is the fact that the damn thing uses 16+6 pin cables. Where on Earth do I get that?
So far all I've seen is modular PSUs with 2*8 PIN connectors, and the other 6 pins labelled SATA and stuff. What do I do?

I was thinking about getting the Corsair RM750x PSU, please let me know if it'll be alright for my needs.

Thanks

That MSI GPU requires two 8-pin, and one 6-pin PCI-E connectors to power it up, as evident from MSI's website. Which 16+6 pin cable are you talking about ? That RMX PSU is having 4 PCI-e 8 pin (6+2) cables. These should be enough to power up the card.

That power supply has FOUR 6+2 PCI connectors, for a total of 32 pins, which is about three connectors more than what you need.

The card uses 3 plugs, 8+8+6. So any PSU with at least three 6+2 pin connectors would be fine.....as long as it's at least 700w.

What's the problem?

The RMX 750 has all the PCIe connections needed for the card.

And it's unanimous, because that's the same answer four times now.
