Urgent help required, installing PSU

sx_turbo · 17 Feb 2023 at 09:28

I'm installing my PSU and connecting the wires to the motherboard and peripherals.

I've got pci-e cables. They are an 8 pin connector but they are all missing a pin.

They then have a 2x 6+2 connector the other end.

Can I use this for connecting the GPU I've got an rx6800xt.

Or do I need another proper 8 pin cable to 2x 8 pin (I've got this cable but only 1 of and it's labelled as CPU)

the cables are right, that is how they are designed.

always use two pcie cables on a GPU.

Who makes the PSU? You can usually check the pinout online, but as said above, it is almost certainly normal.

Thankyou. Phew, thought I'd have to order more cables.

It's thermaltake couldn't see much online.

Had it all up and running and working until I installed the graphics card drivers and it killed windows boot files, I was hoping I be one of the lucky ones as it was a fresh install but nope.
