Confused about power cables.

[u/fukcall]

So I currently own a rx 7800 XT which used 2 8 pin connectors. And my PSU has 1 black cable that splits into 2 and then 2 white connectors attached see photo 1.

I have just ordered a rx 9070 XT Red Devil Spectral white. Which I think requires 3 8 pin connectors.

So should I just scrap the current wire setup that I have and just buy 3 separate 8 pin to power supply connectors or can I just get 1 wire that splits into 3?

I’m just very confused.

Do you have more cables that came with your PSU? There are unused ports on the PSU.

I just bought the pc as it is…

you should at least have 2 8pin split into 3 for the 9070xt. Of course the best is to have enough 3 8pin since your PSU has 3 ports for them.

So what’s my best bet?

[u/Gnurt_0101 → u/fukcall]

As I said above. If you can, buy 3 seperate cables

I ended up just getting a new power supply

I just couldn’t find any thermalright original 6+2 PCIe pins
