Question6 pin 4 pin dilemma 🥺🥺
Question6 pin 4 pin dilemma 🥺🥺
Hi there. I have a 6-pin connector and a 4-pin connector. I need to power the 1660 Super, which uses an 8-pin socket. I managed to connect the 6-pin and two of the 4-pin, but I didn’t power the machine because I was worried about potential issues. If it works, I need to remove the extra two pins from the 4-pin connector. I have images of the 4-pin and the 6-pin connectors. What should I do next?
what does the psu mean?
are you certain the 4-pin isn't for the cpu?
are the 6 and 4-pin connections on the same cable?
The four-pin isn't suitable for the GPU. Without a 6+2 pin connector on your power supply, running a 1660 Super is not advisable. Don't power on this PC unless you're certain about the specific power supply model.
don't the psu prebuild.
yes 4 pin coming fromn8 pin cpu cable.
no they are not.
I guess 🔥🔥🔥
🤣🤣
I am cheeping it out dont want to buy a psu
If you truly wish to proceed and you're uncertain about its suitability, you can use a cable that changes a 6-pin to an 8-pin connection.
The additional two pins on the 8-pin version don't supply any power to the card; they usually serve as both ground connections.
This adapter's purpose is to inform the video card that the existing wires are sufficient for higher current draw.
The outcome hinges largely on whether your power supply already accommodates this connector size.
These adapters merely connect the extra pins to ground, allowing the card to believe it can receive more power.
Whether it functions depends entirely on the dimensions of the wires in your current 6-pin setup.
You might then purchase two GPUs. The one you already have, plus another one after possibly damaging the first with an inexpensive power supply.
Cheap PSUs are often among the most costly components in a PC.
Let's gather some reliable information and remove this GPU from the system before destroying it.
