Help - Replace Aurora R8 PSU with RM850X

[Antonioya]

Hi,

I'm not an expert in PC hardware and I'm going to replace the original PSU by a new RM850x and I have one doubt about one connection.

I know there is a 24 pin connector, but I have other connector (see image below) and I will like to confirm what cable and in what connector of the PSU I need to connect this. I don't want make something wrong.

 

The connector is 8-Pin but only used 6 of them.

ah the weirdos... from where it is it's a PCIE power cable, to power the GPU But it seems they reversed those rows. The 12V is where the ground is in normal PCIE cables

So in the end it looks like an EPS12V cable (a CPU power cable) with 6 wires instead of 8.

If they did things right, a PCIE cable should not key in this socket, and only a CPU power cable will.

So, I need connect a 6 wires cable and connet to one of the 8 pin connector where the text is "6+2PC & 4+4 CPU"?

Maybe this video can clarify more for people that know about hardware details (not me). In the video talk about using a 4 pin cable, but not sure where to put in the Power Unit.
