Do OCUK sell 8 pin to 8 pin PCI to PSU power cables?

I'm upgrading my GPU, currently its a single plug 6 pin that powers it, the new card requires 1 8-8 pin and 1 6-6 pin. My PSU is modular and has a 8 pin pcie output plugs on the back of it but i don't have the cables. So looks like i need a 8 pin male to 8 pin male PCI power cable.

What make and model is your PSU?

It should have 2 PCIE cables both with 6+2. If not you'll have to buy a new PSU that supports the configuration.

its an evga 750w, thats all i know, its fully modular and has 2 8 pin pcie power outputs on the rear currently not being used.

i'll try and find the specific model number, think i may have to go down the new PSU route.

So it's not evga or 750w. It's a Coolermaster RS-850-ESBA. The annoying thing is I've found other cables, but they're 8 pin to 6 pin.

I'd just upgrade. That PSU is likely to be a hazard waiting to happen!!

That's what I've just done lol. Ordered a corsair RM750 psu along with the gigabyte gaming oc 5700XT

Would have gone superflower personally, but the RM units are decent now

I ended up cancelling the order of the RM750 from OCUK and ordered an RMx750 from the jungle as it was only £82.99 on there, compared to £99.95 for the RM750 and £124.99 for the RMx750 on OCUK. I still got my 5700XT, swapped PSU and GPU on monday night and it works beautifully

I emailed Coolermaster and they couldn't supply replacement cables for my old PSU anyway so i would have had to get a new PSU no matter what if i wanted to upgrade my GPU.
