The gtx 1070 Card came with a dual adapter for power, looks like dual 6, and 8 on one side. Not sure if I have to ignore this adapter

The modular corsair rm 650 PSU I have came with some more cables.


Do I use the cable (that came with psu) that has a double end with the 6+2 (dual) and the opposite end is just a solid 8 pin.

Do I plug one of the 6+2 connectors into the card? Does it matter which 6+2? I can just leave the other 6+2 hanging?

Do I plug the 8 pin into One of the top right 3 labeled 6+2 PCI-E & 4+4 CPU ports? Is that it? Do I ignore the adapter that came with the card?

Thanks guys

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
on the top of the motherboard should be 8pin slot or 4pin slot. you plug the 4+4pin CPU into that.

On the 1070 it has 2x 6pin slots.

you plug the 6+2 PCI-E cables into these. You do not use the extra 2 pins. they can just hang there.

Ignore the adapter that came with the card. That is for power supplies that do not have the required cables already.
