Hi there,
I have a Be Quiet 630w PSU (LINK) which was from a previous build of mine, so I have lost or misplaced the extra cables that come with it.
I have a brand new GPU which is an MSI GeForce GTX 1080 card.
Now, I need to connect my GPU to the CPU in order for it to have power, but I can't seem to find the correct cable(s) required online, and I haven't seen a thread for this elsewhere.
The PSU has two female 8 pin PCIe outputs as shown here:
The GPU has one female 8 pin input and one female 6 pin input as shown here:
So my question to you lot is would this cable below work for giving enough power and grounding to the GPU?
I have looked around and I cannot seem to find a single 8 pin male to 8 pin (or 6+2 pin) male cable and a 8 pin male to 6 pin (or 6+2 pin) male cable to run two individual lines from the PSU to the GPU. But then again, would this be a good idea or not (I don't know if that would give too much power, if i ran it from two seperate ports). My other PC that I built obviously had the correct cable come with the PSU, of which looked just like the one above, and looped from the 8 pin port on the GPU to the 6 pin port, with only one 8 pin connection on the CPU side.
I just wanted to double check all of this, with people who would definately know as I don't really want to get this wrong
Thank You in advance,
Jai
