I want to get 2x 980 but I dont have the cables I need for my power supply to supply the graphic cards?

Triforce · Sep 9, 2015

Hello.

So I got a supernove 850W Gold is it enought to run 2x980 ?

Then I also got a bag with all the cables, but I dont have any that is 8x8 pin?

Only (6+2) + (6), no 8x8, Do I need to buy new cables that is 8x8 ?
I do not have any cables that is (6+2) (6+2),

the gtx980 also require a 600w supply, do I need 1200w to run 2x980 ?

------

I got 2 cabels that is (6+2) + (6) then a 8 on the end that you plug in to the power supply.
and 1 cable that is only 8 on one side and 8 on the other side that you plug in to the psu.

Can i have 2 cabels for 1 graphic card?

You have enough power and cables to run 2 cards , I own it and run 2 - 770's with it.

850W is plenty to run 2 - 980's.

What exact 850w do you have all the 850W EVGA's have the needed cables.

Well thats great, now onward to the cable question which is very important for me!

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

I just posted that the cables you ned are there or should be.

All the 850w have the cables needed to run 2 cards.

Which one is yours?

Triforce · Sep 9, 2015

This is the one I have
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=220-G2-0850-XR

EVGA Supernova G2 850W, 80+ Gold,

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

I own it , I run two 770's

PCIE power > 4x8pin (6+2), 2x 6pin are included.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

They are labeled also.

Should say PCIE \ VGA

So I can mix the cables? So I run 2 different cables, both of them only have 8x8 (one on each end, one from graphic card to power supply ?

Meaning I will run it like this

---------------------------------
Graphic card 1
PSU -> 8 pin from psu to card.
PSU -> 8 pin (6+2) from psu to card, leaving the other 6 pin "lose" in the case?

Same for graphic card 2.

Meaning I will take 4 spots in the power supply?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

Meaning I will take 4 spots in the power supply? YES
4 = 6 + 2 Pin PCI-E , use these 4 is correct.

At 3:48 ish , he is holding the 4 you need , they are all 6+2.

6+2 IS FOR THE CARD CONNECTIONS , 8 pin side goes into PSU.

Triforce · Sep 9, 2015

So I can let the other 6 pin that is wired together with the 8 pin just hang there?

Just so we are on the same page, this is how the (6+2) (6) cable looks like, with a 8 on the end that plugs in to the PSU

And then the last cable is just a single 8 pin on each side

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

6+2 is the one on the right in the pic.

What 980'S ARE YOU GETTING CAN YOU LINK?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

Those 6+2 's on the right in the pic will be the ones that go into your cards.

Triforce · Sep 9, 2015

Planning to get Gigabyte Gtx G1 980 (x2 of them).

Triforce · Sep 9, 2015

Not the single 8 pin ones?

(I only got 2 (6+2) pins (this one is in the latest image, that also got another 6pin attached on it) and 2 (single 6+2) pins)

Meaning I will only be able to provide power for x1 graphic card?

It says VGA on the (6+2) pins

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 9, 2015

6+2 's go in the yellow.

Triforce · Sep 9, 2015

Or do you recommend any other 980 cards? (is the TI worth it?) (Money does not matter), (not getting titan X)

Also here is the images.

I said wrong the entire time, 1 cable is single 6+2 (6+2 on 1 side and 8 on the other side) as shown in the first image.
And on the second image so is 6+2 and 6 on 1 side, and one single 8 on the other (going in to the psu i assume)

I want to get 2x 980 but I dont have the cables I need for my power supply to supply the graphic cards?
