Title: Using 8pin to dual 8/6pin to power 3070 Post by: mantonio333 on February 18, 2021, 10:22:56 PM Is it safe to use an 8pin to dual 8/6pin to power 3070?
The 3070 takes in two 8 pin connectors....wondering if it's safe to use 8/6pin since I'm setting the 3070 to 130w using HiveOS Linux. My PSU is 850w EVGA. Title: Re: Using 8pin to dual 8/6pin to power 3070 Post by: mantonio333 on February 19, 2021, 10:59:28 AM Anybody?

Just keep an eye on it though. my 3070 set to 120 they really pull about 137 the extension will be fine with those watts.

If YES it works fine Is the wire with the green arrow a 6 pin? Not quite clear from the picture. But if it is then yes that's what I'm trying to do! Title: Re: Using 8pin to dual 8/6pin to power 3070 Post by: mantonio333 on February 19, 2021, 01:29:39 PM Just to be clear this is what I'm talking about.
8 Pin to PSU then 8 Pin to and 6 pin to GPU https://ibb.co/3fbdRQg Title: Re: Using 8pin to dual 8/6pin to power 3070 Post by: mantonio333 on February 19, 2021, 03:42:12 PM Or is it better if I get this adapter?

Decided to get one of these rather than using the 6-pin. Better be extra cautious even with underclocking. |
