Is 6+2pin the same as 8pin?

Guest · Jan 10, 2015

So I'm looking at gpus to buy for a first build and I am thinking the asus strix but I don't really know if a 6+2pin would really work on it or if it did it may have problems. So would it work and if it does would it have problems at all.

also why don't PSUs have proper 8pin ones?

yes, it is the same. it is set up that way so it can be used as a 6 or 8 pin. saves on cords.

6+2 and 8 pins are the same. 6+2 are there so that you can use them as 6 pin or 8 pin. But try not to confuse them with 4+4 Pin EPS connector which plugs to the motherboard.

Nuwan Fernando :

Isn't the EPS connector the cpu one? also doesn't it have 4+4pin? not 6+2pin?

Yes EPS connector is the CPU power delivery lanes which connects to the motherboard and it is 4+4 Pin.

The PCI ex power connectors are 6+2 pins.
