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

Friend I left a PSU with correct cables, you must put the patch for your motherboard.

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

It is possible that you had to update the bios, in case of not starting this PSU ....Is a good option for you:

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