miles_from_here Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Hi there, I am totally new to gaming PCs and was trying to upgrade my PC so my son can game ok on it. I have purchased a MSI RX580 card which needs an 8 pin (6+2) cable. I do not have any spare cables with the PC and I am struggling to see where to connect the cable in the (unmarked) plug side of the unit (see pic here https://forum.corsair.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=39841&d=1608121096) Can I use one of those two 12 pins at the top to connect to the GPU? If so, what cable to purchase. Maybe this one?? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/12-pin-to-2-port-PCI-E-6-2pin-GPU-Power-supply-Cable-CORSAIR-AX650-AX750-AX850/163365063553 Edited December 17, 2020 by miles_from_here add attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What power supply do you currently have? Your attachment doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted December 17, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 17, 2020 Weird, the attachment is in this forum! I have an old AX850 Here is a link to the picture https://photos.app.********/d4m16TEhGTJag1RH7 This link doesn't work either. Is this your PSU? https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Professional-Series%E2%84%A2-Gold-AX850-%E2%80%94-80-PLUS%C2%AE-Gold-Certified-Fully-Modular-Power-Supply/p/CMPSU-850AX If so, then that cable you linked is correct. That said, keep in mind that's a very, very, very old PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
