Hello,

I bought a Sapphire NITRO+ 8GB and they are 2 power connectors, a 1x6 AND a 1x8 pin.

I think they will not draw more than 150 / 180 watt with dual mining.

Do I need both of them plugged in ?

If not, will it be better to use the 6pin or the 8pin ?

I have read some different infos. I don't know if this are the true values, but someone said :

PCIe slot+6 pin=150W limit.
PCIe slot+8 pin=225W limit.

Would be interrested to hear about RX580's nitro+ holders.

Thank you
