What kind of PSU is that has only 6+8pins?
1000w Psu at least must have 6 or 8 pieces of 8 pin pcie power connectors

My 1000V GPU has 2x 6+2


What's that?

Don't use a splitter unless you know what you're doing. Lots of people wil tell you you can do something
but it doesn't mean you should. There are several recent threads discussng your question, do some reading.

This will work perfectly ok, there is also another that has female mouth for 6pin and the head is 8pin, check the image below, it's what I used and it works, just make sure your power supply have enough watts power, like 1000 watts or so

Buy a 6 pin to 8 pin molex connector, it works for me, I know many will say no or something but I still use it anyways and it's been running for weeks with no problem, it's available on ebay and Amazon I guess

Hello Fellows, newbie here. Quick hardware/power pins question.
I just created my small mining machine from spare gaming PC I have.
I will just stay with 2 GPUs.

I have 2 PCI  slots:
1st. port - I got RX580 8GG pluged in directly
2nd port -  I got a  raiser card with Molex/Sata power connector. I have RTX 2070 Super arriving in few days.

My 1000V PCU has 2x 6+2 PCI Connectors and bunch of molex/sata ones.

580 is using first 6+2 (Cool Pci, but 2070 needs 6+8. so I'm short 6 pin connector.

Im guessing that I can't use 8 pin to 6+8 adaptor, right??

Is connecting to SATA is my only option?

Regards

mike
