Hi,
I'm upgrading my GTX770 to GTX1070 tomorrow, but my PSU has only 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin connector. Seems like GPU needs 2x 8-pin.
But I have 2 converters:
1. 2x old hdd connectors (molex?) to 1x 6-pin
2. 2x 6-pin to 1x 8-pin.
So basically I can make a chain that gives me 2x 8-pins that GPU needs. And PSU is 500W, so that should cover recommended power.
So my question - is it save to make a chain of two converters in a row from PSU to GPU?
Couple pics here.
TL;DR - is it safe to plug [PSU] -> [2 molex to 1x 6-pin] -> [2x 6-pin to 1x 8-pin] + [other 8-pin] -> [GPU] ?
