Hello everybody,
just got a used Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT SE for around 330 euros (hope it's not that bad a deal). This is going to my son's rig which atm has a 600W PSU (nothing fancy).
I've ordered a Seasonic GX650 (IIRC) that will arrive in the next 2-3 weeks, but in the meantime I have this old modular 700W Coolermaster RS-700-ASAA-A1 unit. This unit does offer two 6-pin inputs, but no 8-pin ones (the Sapphire needs two 8-pin ones).
Questions:
1) Any chance this could drive the 5700xt for a couple of weeks? Yes, I do know that these cards are very finnicky about the PSU...
2) If I could, how I could go about converting 6-pin and other outputs to two 8-pins?
