[SOLVED] What type of connecter do I need to power a RTX 2070?

[boppygaming]

My MSI 2070 came in the mail today, I had no problems installing it, but it needs a 6/8 pin power supply cable that I don't have. Can someone tell me what to buy?
Thanks

What's your PSU? Exact make and model.

 

[sizzling]

Not having the correct connector is a strong sign the psu is inadequate. Per above what make and model is it?

If your PSU doesn't have PCIe power connectors, it's not meant to power a discrete graphics card.

What PSU is it? You're not using like a Dell or HP, are you? If so, what model?

That is the power supply that I have. I lost some of the cables for it

Ok. Good to know. So the PSU used to have them, but you lost them.

Are either of those red ports being used to provide power to the motherboard?

Because, if they're not, you can buy a Corsair Type 3 or Type 4 PCIe cable and use it for your graphics card. The pinout is the same.

None of the red ports are being used, so which one do i buy
