I'm looking to upgrade my Vega Nano card by removing just the 6 pin socket & replacing it with an 8 pin socket, but I just notice something.
Looking at the male pins on the card I notice it's silver in color, but hold on, the Seasonic power cords female pins are gold in color. So I went to Seasonic website & it clearly state they use "Gold plated connectors". So the question is, why are my cards & motherboards silver in color?.
I don't know how many users get on with these connectors, but sometimes my Vega card is not detected. I have to unplug/re-plug the power cord for the card to be detected. This only happens sometimes, not all of the time.
I'm including the PDF Docs below & it clearly states sockets are available in Tin or Gold plating. It would be interesting if anyone has gold plated contact pin on they GFX card or motherboard. Please note I'm only posting this thread to make user's aware & I don't think It makes a lot of difference regardless what plating we have.
