Hi Everyone,
I have a Antec VP450P PSU (https://photos.app.goo.gl/1L5DWFEVZ1coBrgs1). I want to buy the Leadtek WinFast GTX 1060 6GB. The maximum TDP of the card is 120W and recommended psu is 400w. Mine is 450w so I thought its good to go. But the website says the leadtek card needs a 8 pin power connector. Why would a 120W card need a 8 pin power connector? I only have a 6 pin power connector in my PSU. Isn't a 6 pin connector delivers more than 120W? Can I somehow use this using the my 6 pin connector? Or Do I need an adapter? And Is it safe?
My other specs:
Intel core i5 6500
8GB RAM
1 mouse, 1 keyboard.
Thanks in advance
