cord compatability

[fallow cave]

I currently have a 3060 in my case and a Corsair 850 watt with a 3060, I just ordered the asus 4070 ti super and was wondering if I can use the dual 2 and 6 pin connectors to connect to the dual plug that comes off the 4070.

You meant 8-pin PCIe made from 6+2, but yes

I am assuming it didn't come with the native cable. The adapter is perfectly fine to use.

Just treat the adapter as like your regular card that wants a 2x8pin

This PSU should have come with at least two individual cables, with 2 plugs each. Use two cables, using the first plug (counting from the PSU side) on each one.

If possible; technically speaking, for modern Corsair PSUs, the pigtails are fine

Just use whichever arrangement that makes more sense

I think I’m getting this confused… so these cables in my 3060 atm I can or can’t use?

[unreal orbit]

Are these the ones that come with your PSU?

You can use them. The 4070 Ti will come with an adapter for you to connect with these.

[fallow cave]

yes

i saw it came with the adapter just didnt know if theyd work and be safe ya know

[unreal orbit]

You don't have a 4090, and the Supers come with a revised connector. You're gucci

perfect thank you thank you

Warning

Do not pigtail ur cables

Use separate 8 pin cables

[unreal orbit]

Corsair RMx series (newer triangular grille models)

This is one of the exceptions to the general wisdom, actually

Still best to use separate cables, but it's still perfectly fine

The pigtail option is likely to be used only when there are other constraints (e.g. missing cables, clearance)

[vapid olive]

nvidia specificlly states not too

[unreal orbit]

Because normally they account for the lowest common denominator, which is often

The PSU requirements are also usually taken with an i9 as a reference

basically worst case

[vapid olive]

wdym

[unreal orbit]

The worst possible but still reasonable cases

So e.g. i9 with loose or no power limits, 80+ bronze PSU that works correctly but is otherwise meh quality, etc

A bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea

[vapid olive]

im saying if your using 40 series dont pigtail gpu cables not psu end but gpu end the dongle

Taken from the Cultists' Network Discord server, PSU discussion.

I'd think assuming it's both modern and not Seasonic nor made by Seasonic, you're fine

[vapid olive]

not with the power cunsumption per cable

LOL

[unreal orbit]

Bzzt.

Of course, using separate cables give you the most margin, but using pigtails inherently is a safe thing... assuming your PSU isn't crap

With a single cable, assuming lowball but not SeaSonic as maker, you will get up to 375W (including slot)

[vapid olive]

300 PER CABLE

Doesn’t refer to pigtailing

[unreal orbit]

Because it has already been established as fine

[vapid olive]

I don’t think the manufacturer would lie

[vapid olive]

Not by manufacturer give up

I’ll send photo when I’m home

I have a 4070ti I would know

@unreal orbit

[vapid olive]

Dm me invite

[unreal orbit]

This is basically the manufacturer of the video card doing this for safety

However, the PSU manufacturer's recommendation is not rendered invalid

They have to account for the junk stuff

[vapid olive]

Ye it is

Invite me to the server with head corsair ppl

[fallow cave]

I got it in

Runs fine, been going for three days now

[unreal orbit]

Noice

Enjoy!

I have to pull it off
