Hello, I'm trying to install a GTX 1060 G1 (Gigabyte GV-N1060G1), this requires a pin connector 8*1 but my PSU didn't have it so I was reading that the better option were changing the whole PSU.
I have 3 questions about it. (Yeah, noob here)
1. The graphic card uses PCIe 8 pin connector, right? This is the same as a PCIe 6+2 pin connector? If no: The PSU needs to have PCIe 8 pin connector necessarily? Or may I have a PSU with PCIe 6*+2pin connector and use an adapter?
2. Is it different a 1 x 8-pin CPU and a PCIe 8 pin connector? A PSU with 1 x 8-pin CPU solves this? In which cases did we use both?
3. Finally... I just need a PSU with a PCIe with 6+2pin connector? (I think this resolves everything)
This are my specs:
- CPU Ryzen 5 1600
- Motherboard ASRock micro ATX AB350M-HDV
- Kingston HyperX FURY Black DDR4
- I'm planning to buy a Acteck Z-600 PSU
Thanks in advance
