Hello,

 

I recently bought a new GPU for my PC (of course after checking if it would be compatible) and everything seemed fine,till I noticed that the PC I have has a PSU with only 1 6 PIN for GPUs although the specs on this site show it should have "PCI-E-Stromanschluss (für High-End-Grafikkarten): 2" which translate to " PCI-E power connector (for high-end graphics cards): 2"  but when I checked in the PC it only had one and it was 6 pin which means that the "High end" part is either false or I misunderstood something

 

My question is which PSUs I could buyy to replace this one that would function with a MSI GTX1070(needs 2 power connectors 6 pin and 8 pin)

 

Thanks in advance!

 

*Since the PC was made in 2013 I guess the High end cards they refer to are those from that time but the GTX 980 ti also uses the same ones as the GTX 1070

Oh the current PSU is working fine but it doesnt have the cables needed for a GTX 1070

Also the PSU you linked me doesn't have the correct cables either I need to have 6 and 8 pins for the GPU
Friend I left a PSU with correct cables, you must put the patch for your motherboard.

Side Question : The PSU i currently have is standard ATX size?
HP Recommended
Also worried about the Dimensions since mine is 5.9x5.5x3.3 inches while the suggested PSU is bigger

Please check the dimensions of the PSU well ... should be confusing with the voltage, the data is incorrect.
