hello there. I'm going to buy the GTX 1060 6GB MSI GAMING X graphics card. but unfortunately, my PSU doesn't have an 8 pin power connector. It just has one 6 pin connector. My PSU model is THERMALTAKE LITEPOWER 450W.

I found out on the internet that this PSU has 80-85% efficiency. that means it can provide at least 400W power, which is recommended for the GPU.

but my question is, should i use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter? is it safe? or do i have to change my PSU?

Note: I'm not intending to overclock my GPU.

get a card that only needs a 6-pin


or buy a proper psu with the 8-pin you need


using adapters on sub standard units is asking for fire

yes you can use 6pin to 8 pin adapter .. even you can use Molex to 8 pins adapters they work fine if your power supply is enoogh and your power supply is enough.
