Question Total novice stuck with PSU to GPU power cables.

[ruinedsock]

I'm buying a 1660S for £200 and I realised that I've misplaced the extra cables that came with my PSU (Corsair CX 550M). I've heard that GPUs don't come with cables anymore and I'm sort of lost as to which cable I'll need to connect my GPU to my PSU. Can anyone help?

There's an eight pin power connection on the GPU and the same connection on my PSU, but I'm struggling to find the right cable. I'm seeing 6+2 cables and extensions (which are advertised as not being able to power the GPU by themselves) and I'm just lost. I can't seem to find just the right cable. I don't want to order the wrong one and cause any damage.

You could try getting the cables for your specific model from Corsair

Thanks, I did have a look, but I only need this one cable. Like, would this cable solve the problem? https://www.amazon.co.uk/COMeap-Ada...cie&qid=1601125074&sprefix=6+2,aps,155&sr=8-3

Mixing cables from different manufacturers is a big no-no unless your intent is to fry your components
