[SOLVED] Using Super Flower Leadex III 550W For Msi 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio

[defrons]

I bought the super flower leadex iii 550w for my build and turns out Msi gaming trio need 2x8pin connector. My psu only have 1 slot for that, is it possible that I still use this psu? Or I must buy a new one

According to manufacturer's specifications sheet, that PSU should have 2 x PCI 6+2 Pin for graphics cards:

That one should also have 2 x 8-pin (6+2) PCIe slots if you look at the specifications. It says:

SLI (2 x PCI 6+2Pin)

If the 8pin power connector i put on the vga slot on the back psu, then where do I put the 6+2?

The 6+2 end plugs in to the video card.

The 6+2 end plugs in to the video card.

So to put it simple cause I dont have any knowledge of this, is my build have any compatability issue?

Here's the full build:
Ryzen 5 3600
Xpg Lite M.2 Nvme 128gb
Team GX 2 512gb SSD
Msi Mpg b550 gaming plus
Msi gaming x trio 3060 Ti
Corsair Lpx 2x8gb 3200 Mhz
Super flower leadex iii 550w

1 more thing, Is it right if I plug the 6+2 pin on the back of the psu on the MB section then put the other end at the gou?

No. The 6+2 end goes to the video card. The other end of the cable goes to port marked VGA on back of the PSU.

The gpu needs 2 of 2x8pin power connector

The PCIe cable has two (6+2) 8-pin connectors on it.
