Question Upgrade one of my old systems.

[Raymond_52]

Hello folks, Have had great help here from folks on the forum regarding some previous questions I had [ unrelated to this question ] so I hope some folks can keep me right with this one.
I have just gotten a superb EVGA SC 1070 gtx , I would really like to install it on my general purpose system [ ASUS TUF Z 270 MK2 , i7 7700 K , 32 Gb Corsair vengence LPX DDR 4 , Asus gtx 1060, Corsair 750 watt psu. But the 1060 card uses 6 pin connector and the 1070 uses 8 pin. so would the 1070 actually be compatable with the system ? I know I should have asked this before I purchased the 1070 but it is what it is.
cheers.

Your 6 pin for your card should actually be a 6+2 pin made to use as a 8 pin, or your PSU has another cable that is 6+2 pin.
