3070ti FE won’t boot?

[AshB1989]

So I’ve just installed my new 3070ti FE, but it won’t boot and the red VGA light in motherboard is on.

I’ve used the 12pin to 8pin adapter (I think?) which is supplied, but I presume (and hope) this is the issue.

what else could I be doing wrong?

That’s the problem then. I’ve only got one 8pin going to it.
I’d need to check which PSU I have.

PSU - Corsair CX550M

I managed to use the double 6+2 pins to get it working. I’ll invest in a better PSU I think.
