    Default Help plugging my PSU to my GPU



    Guys how do I plug my PSU's split PCI-E 6+2 into my GPU? Basically the cable splits into two 6+2 outlet slots and I'm pretty sure it's meant for dual cards and not for both to go into the same card, or does it?

    Having some real difficulty putting my PC together, or my Dad is lol, I have no idea what to do and just left him to it.

    I will probably have some more questions a bit later on

    if your GPU has those 2 slots like in the picture, then yes both ends of the PCI-E 6+2 go into your gpu
    If you work to earn a living, why then do you work yourself to death?

    Cheers for the response Kami, yes my GPU does have two slots exactly as pictured. So I assume I plug both ends of the PCIE 6+2 into the slots and leave the spare +2 bits hanging out?

    Sweet. Thanks for the help.

    I had never seen a cable that had diverges into two forks so I thought I might be making a mess of things.

    A G.card with an extra power slot is like a girl with a good booty. Both give pleasure but in completely different ways.
