Big Error in Power Selection!
Big Error in Power Selection!
I made a huge error by purchasing a power supply without checking the pin configuration of the motherboard and the GPU card. The power supply you mentioned doesn’t match the pin requirements. The motherboard needs an 8-pin and a 4-pin, while the GPU requires 8 pins plus a 6-pin. Can this power supply cover all the connections? What should I do next?
the motherboard also needs a 24-pin connector, yet your power supply unit should provide all the necessary cables
This power supply appears to be designed with potential fire risks in mind. It’s likely not a safe choice. However, it does list two 6+2 pin connectors, which should suffice for your GPU—requiring one 6+2 (8) pin and another 6 pin. There’s also a 4+4 pin for your motherboard, though you might skip the extra 4 pin if your board doesn’t need it. The site even lacks detailed technical specs, which is odd.
Thank you for your assistance. The document on page 8 indicates the required components total 24 + 8 + 4. I can return the item purchased from Amazon Turkey until the end of June. Would you like to proceed with a return, and if yes, could you suggest some product options?
Is it really possible to heavily overclock a Ryzen 9? Probably not, since your motherboard likely has limitations. Don’t stress about it.
Just confirming whether leaving the extra 4-pin in its spot will affect performance.
