Hello, I've been using a TX850M and 1060 3gb for some time and decided it was time to upgrade my GPU. I discovered a solid offer on a nearly new MSI 3070 and purchased it. I'm currently using a 2x 6+2 PCI but noticed that the MSI 3070 requires a 12-pin connector. Can I use an adapter, buy a 12-pin one, or should I get a PSU that matches the 3070? Thanks for your assistance.

The RTX 3070 GPUs feature a 12-pin design, whereas the MSI typically offers a 2x 8-pin configuration.
