Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If you're referring to a single 8pin PCIe connector and a single 12VHPWR connector, then no, it's impossible.

Just curious, what is the make and model of your PSU and it's age and what did it power throughout it's tenure? If your PSU lacks the connector, you either have the wrong PSU or the wrong GPU for your build.

Thermaltake 600w nonmodular 80+ gold, and the gpu is a rx 5700xt thicc 3

Is a Thermaltake 600w nonmodular 80+ gold compatible with an XFX rx 5700xt Thicc 3

Please stick to one thread unless you want spaghetti brains.

Thermaltake have a lot of PSU's in their portfolio both new and old, which one are we talking about here? If the unit is used, please reconsider a new reliably built PSU. You didn't exactly answer all of my questions.

Sorry, I bought this psu used and have only been using it for a couple of months so i dont know what it has been used with, but for the make and model it is the smart series 600w model SP-600NNFAG

XFX rx 5700xt doesn't have 16pin connector. It has two 8pin PCIE power connectors.

On my PSU I have an 8 pin connector, does that mean i could get an adapter to make it two 8 pin connectors using a female to male adapter like this one https://www.amazon.com/COMeap-Expre...=1726758284&sprefix=8+pin+to+16,aps,85&sr=8-5

You'll need two PCIE 8pin cables coming from PSU.

Thankyou, so I will need a new PSU right?
