hi guys,
I know this question has been asked prolly a thousand times before, yet still here I am.
My PSU is a Seasonic G series modular 550 watts. It is semimodular, what sparked my confusion. When I look into the PSU-Slot for the 8-pin pcie cables, I see 8 holes, each populated with some wiring on the inside. So far so good. When I look into the corresponding holes of my GPU (palit gtx 1080) I see nothing surprising, 8 (or 6 on the 6-pin connector) slots with wiring in each.
When I look at my cable however, i see 8 slots but only the 6 have wiring on the inside.
those additional 2 are basically only for decoration. I'm referring to the psu-side of the cable.
Is that intentional or is it simply a bugged out cable?
I sadly dont have any spare parts with which i could check for failures. It is an all new build, that refuses to boot into bios. I limited the issue to either the gpu or the psu, and I'd like to not send back the wrong one.
Hope you can help me
Cheers
