9070xt cable help

[WigSplitter]

Hello, I'm currently installing a sapphire pulse 9070xt and I've confused myself with the psu cables. Can someone please clarify which cables I use. Thank you.

Sorry I tried to post images but it's not working.

What PSU have you got?

You need 2 x 8 pin (6+2 pin), they will probably be marked as VGA or PCI-E.

It is recommended to use 2 seperate cables.

You need 2x PCIe 8 pin power cables. Often these come as 6+2 pin cables. Do not confuse these with EPS power cables which are also 8 pin. If you don't have two PCIe cables but have a spare EPS cable then you can buy an EPS to PCIe converter. Don't use two connectors on the same cable.

According to the Kitguru review here you get two EPS cables and one PCIe cable. You also get a 12VHPWR cable (the melty one) and an adapter to convert that to two PCIe cables, so fit all of those and use the PCIe cable and one connector from the adapter.
