3 x 8pin 3080 Question
- Thread starter nicklog
- Start date
Yep, it has x5 8-Pin (6+2) sockets.
The question is, how many 6+2 cables the manufacturer supplies in the box, you need to check this.
For example, a Corsair RMX750 only supplies x2 cables in the PSU and it's impossible to get more from anywhere, but the 850W supplies x3 and the 1000W supplies x4.

Really my Corsair RMX750 came with 3 pcie cables and it also say 3 on the box
WHHHAAATTTTT!
I was a bit shocked it only came with 2, but the manual confirmed that for me. Just checked on their site and the manual says RMX750 is only x2 PCIE 6+2 cables (dual connections to GPUs).
At least I got a Floppy Drive power cable
It means the extra cost for an RMX850 instead isn't that much as an additional PCIE cable is £25 anyway.
It supplies 3 of the 6+2, does that mean I'm fine?? Or one of these goes for the cpu??
It provides 2 more of 4+4 are these the same with 6+2?CPU is 8pin.
PCIE for GPU is a 6+2
You can use any of these for CPU or GPU..
Could I do cpu with 4+4 and the use all 3 of the 6+2 for the gpu?
Edit: I was talking about the cables mate not the sockets

One cable is £25?!?!?!!
Yup, stupid price when you could just buy a 650W or 750W PSU for the cost of 4 cables.
The sockets on the PSU itself for the 4+4 & 6+2 are wired the same.
The importance is the actual cable, where they are wired differently and have different plugs that either go into a GPU (6 + 2) or CPU (4 +4). The end going into the GPU and CPU also have different shaped plugs so you can't force one into the other.
Yes thats what I meant it provides 3 cables 6+2 and another 2 cables 4+4. So that means I can easily put my 3 slot 3080 I think
Thanks for all the info
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. 3 cables for PSU and 2 for CPU.
If you ever add another GPU you can combine x2 6-pin PCIE sockets on the PSU to a single 8-pin with a splitter cable.
