As long as the PSU has the correct cables to connect the gpu then you are good to go. In this case i believe it is one 8 pin or a 6+2 pin.

It has a 2x6pin and a 2x molex but the card requires a 8pin connector.Whats the best way 2x6pin to 8 pin or a 2xmolex to 8pin or a simple 2x6pin to 8pin(which i think its not reccomended because of the two 12v rails)?

Use the 6+2 (=8) PCIe power connector, not the Molex adapter cable.

COLGeek :

Dont have 6+2 just 2 sepperated 6pins

I misunderstood. Then use the Molex/PCIe 6x2 to 8 adapter (even though we generally don't recommend their use). You may want to consider upgrading your PSU in the future.

COLGeek :

no, then you use a dual 6-pin to single 8-pin adapter

XD molex???? jesus...

buy a dual 6-pin to single 8-pin adapter

ale3xxa · Jan 12, 2018

What do you think of using 2x6pin to 8 pin adapter?Some brands is giving it with the cards.

COLGeek · Jan 12, 2018

ale3xxa :

This is an acceptable solution in this case, but I would still recommend a PSU replacement in the future.

What specific make/model is the PSU in question, BTW?

maxalge :

Good catch.

Nothing wrong with the PSU. With those 12 volt rails it will provide more than adequate power to the 8-pin adapter.

Delux ATX 600W Dual-core .

Use at your own risk

I used it with NVIDIA GTX560 with a bit of clock voltage stay stable which uses a lot of energy 150W TDP.

Agreed. This is a sub-standard device and should be replaced for long-term use.
