STRIX GeForce GTX 1050 TI - won't run without 6 pin

[mitlaw]

My ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 1050 TI Graphics Card doesn't boot and says it needs the 6 pin connecting to the PCIe cable. Is this normal or can I change something to stop it doing that?

If the card needs a 6-pin connector, it needs a 6-pin connector, there's no getting around it. And if your PSU doesn't have a 6-pin connector, which every competent, safe PSU you can buy does, I'd be throwing it in the garbage to return it to its natural habitat.

It needs the 6 pin or it won't run

buy a new psu after calculating your power needs and look for the desired connectors, that is the only way you can run this GTX 1050Ti
