Can I use a PCI-E splitter included in CX750m power supply to hook up MSI 770 gpu

codeNtheory · Aug 3, 2014

Can I hook my msi 770 4gb gpu with a PCI-E, which has 2 6+2 pin on one end and an 8 pin on the other.
Cable looks like this:

I have my gpu hooked up with the 2 6+2 pin end only (14 pins total).
GPU hookup looks like this:

Is this a safe setup or should i use two PCI-E cables?

Power supply: Corsair CX750m
graphics card: MSI 770 4gb

Just take the 8 pin and 6 pin PCI-E power cable, connect them to the power supply if they aren't, and just plug them to the graphics card power slot.

all the slots should be filled for a good supply of power. If you could you replace that power supply its isnt the best and someone i helped with a problem said theirs burned out in like 2 months.

So the way I have the gpu side hooked up (2 x 6+2 splitter end like left side of image below) is ok, or should I use another cable and not use the splitter?

splitters are fine they still deliver the power

So the image below (using the 2 6+2 pin splitter end) hooked to the gpu and the 8 pin being hooked to the power supply will work?

NOTE: this is one cable. I do have two of these cables and could plug another (8 pin end) to power supply and the 6+2 end to the gpu and leave the extra 6+2 that is split, alone.

Also thanks for the heads up, I really wanted to get another power supply but just didnt have much cash left after buying everthing else. I am planning on getting a better one in the future. I am not overclocking so hopefully this power supply last for a little while.

well i wouldnt count on this psu but dont do to much heavy tasks on it until you get a new one. Yeah just plug in all the ports you shouldnt leave any blank.

not sure if this is the place to ask but i need help. I was planning on getting this PSU but i was wondering if 1. does it come with enough power connectors 8+6 for 2 gtx 970's and will 750 watts be enough if i run it with a i7-4790k?

Also have same question as guy above me... Same GPUs and PSU.
