Hi,
I've recently purchased a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6gb from msy and replacing it for my older one (AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition GPU) and that needed 2x 6pin PCI-E express connectors. Now the question is - is it safe to use a 2x molex to 8pin adapter safe?
I've been reading other posts that people have made and found out that it's about the type of PSU you have that depends if it's safe or not and that it's still not recommended if you do have a decent power supply.
SPECS:
Power Supply - Aerocool VX-550
Operating System - Windows 10 pro 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core i5 6600k 3.50GHz
Ram - 16gb (don't think it matters too much)
Motherboard - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H110M-A/M.2 (LGA1151)
GPU - (old) AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (Gigabyte)
(new) MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6gb
