PSU is an MSI MPG A650GF 650W 80 PLUS GOLD, and the GPU is an rx 6700 xt, with two 8 pin power connectors.

These are the PSU outs:

Which two of them should be connected to the GPU (Red/Green/Blue) ?

Thanks !

It would seem that there are 2 cables on VGA 1, so if your video card requires 2 8 pin connectors, I would have 1 from VGA 1 (red or green, whichever), and 1 from VGA 2 (blue). But that's only assuming that, internally, VGA 1 & 2 aren't already using the same rail...which they MAY be. It's hard to say without a schematic of the psu.

Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six, and open the manual i guess :benetton:

Green and blue it is, but the labeling is different in the manual lol
