Hello Mmo Champ,
I usually build computers myself and have never really ran into a question like this from a friend, basically they have bought this GPU:
GeForce MSI RTX 2080 TI Gaming X Trio Card
And currently has this PSU in his build as it stands:
Dark Power Pro 11 - 1200W PSU from Bequiet
The GPU has 2 x 8 pin and a 6 pin also, ive never had a card that needs more than just a 2 x 8 pin. Can anyone advise on how to connect this up? i dont want to give advice and his card not get enough power or go faulty. Can he just use the two 10 Pin slots on the PSU to run a 8 pin cable and a 8 Pin + 6 cable? sorry if this seems obvious.
Sorry i cant post links to the actual products.
Thank you

If the cables that come with his PSU have 8+6 pins on the same run, then it's rated to be able to supply enough power for both of those connectors.
That said, the 2080ti doesn't draw enough power to warrant 2 8 pins and a 6 pin at all, so unless it doesn't boot up without the 6 pin, you can just leave it out for a (probably) cleaner look

Looking at the specifications for the PSU it should have a total of 8 available 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors.
Use 1 cable for the 8 pin and 6 pin, and another cable for the remaining 8 pin.

Looking at that picture, it appears they call Molex HDD.. That's just weird man. That said I'd like it if my PSU came with a SATA/Molex cable, would save me a fair amount of clutter.

Yeah the naming is a little strange, HDD's haven't used 4 pin Molex in a while :P Originally Posted by Temp name

lots of accessories still use them for whatever reason. RGB controllers, Fan hubs, pumps, you name it. Originally Posted by Shakadam

The controller boxes for my TT setup uses molex. My brother has a Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 and it uses molex for the RGB on the card. I have 2 fan controllers wich i don't use any more, but they use molex. Most costum water pumps and reservoirs still uses molex Originally Posted by Shakadam
