Upgrading to msi gtx 1070 and need help

NawzadH · Dec 1, 2016

I am upgrading to a msi gtx 1070 and i was worrying about the power supply. At the moment I have a msi gtx 980 that uses 2 x 8 pin and and 1070 uses one 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin but im not sure where to plug the two pins in for the 1070. My powersupply is the cs750m, would be great if someone would help me

You don't. just plug in the 6-pin and leave the extra 2 out. Then on the 8-pin side plug in the 6-pin and the extra 2 for 8 total pins.

Don't really understand, never been the best with cables for pc's. Could you show me with a picture or something? thanks

NawzadH :

This is a 6+2-pin cable.

You will need 2 of them for your card.

For the 6-pin slot just plug in the main cable without the extra 2
For the 8-pin slot plug in the main part plus the extra 2.

it should but you would need two of them. It looks like a 4+4 and a 6+2 in a single cable is that correct?

Yep should work, but you need two of them.

Wait I'm really confused. Can you take a better picture of that cable with all ends facing the camera?

http://imgur.com/gJUKubx this is the cable I have, it plugs into the psu with an 8 pin and splits into two 6+2 pins. It's the wire that came with the psu

Right now my gtx 980 from msi is using one, it needs two 8 pins and it is using that splitter at the moment.

EpIckFa1LJoN · Dec 1, 2016

If that's the case maybe the new card will run using the same cable and just leave one of the 2-pin's out. Try and see. If not you'll need another one.

Thank you so much and i'm sorry for bothering you. You saved me big time
