Title: GTX 1070 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 PROBLEM 2x8 pin connector hx1050
Post by: petcuiulian880 on June 23, 2017, 10:27:23 PM
Hello everyone.
After a few days after ordering 6 gtx 1070 ftw gaming acx 3.0 I found out that they come with 2 x 8 pin connectors. My PSU hx1050 only comes with 6 of these cables. So if I have to connect 2 x 8 pin to 2+6 pin connector to a gpu I could only run 3 of these cards ? Am I right ? I am so devastated after finding this out as I only have this psu...
Maybe I dont rly have to connect 2 x 2+6 pin connectors to gpu, maybe it would work with only one? Thanks in advance for trying to help me ! I am really sad :(

And how you planning to use 6x1070 with 1050 gold ps? I mean without OC 1070 use 150w. All your sistem will 6*150 + cpu+hdd+dram+..=1000 minimum. It is nearly limit for your ps. If you want to use your ps 24/7 for a long time you should using 50-70% of its 12v power.

Well, I am planning to undervolt the gpus or, I have another psu coming soon, a smaller 750w and I could let that psu run 5 gpus and the 6th I could put in my personal pc.
I did some research and I found out that I need some 6 pin to 2 x 8 pin connectors.
This is the cable:
