Gigabyte gtx 960, corsair 500w and msi z97s compatibility

zeneXx · Dec 19, 2015

So i want to get a gigabyte gtx 960 4gb but it requires 1 6pin and 1 8pin but the corsair psu offers 2x6pin and 1x8pin motherboard. Is this compatible or will my mother board need it?

If that is the case, the psu won't work. Get an EVGA 550 G2 instead.
Even a Seasonic S12II 520 will work.

The PSU is big enough and all you need is 6 pi to 8pin adapter.
Actually it should come with 2 x 6+2 PCIe connectors http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050
If you do not already have it get a better PSU though.

Yep, the PSU comes with 1 6 pin and 1 6+2 pin PCIE connector. See here:

So yes, that psu will work. I will still recommend that if you can get the Seasonic recommended in my post, get that one.
