If I had a bunch of 1060s, I'd probably swap it out and use them on this motherboard since the 1060 uses far less wattage and I could use all 13 gpu ports
Gotcha that makes sense
Question. I have an extra 1080TI that I do not have a power cord for. It takes a 8 pin and a 6 pin auxiliary. Would it hurt the card to use an 8 pin power cord and an additional 6 pin power cord plugged into the auxiliary, both using separate VGA ports on my power supply?
I don't understand the question
So a 1080TI card has two power ports. One requires an 8 pin and the other is an auxiliary power port that is also required. See here:
My power supply came with 5 power cords that have a six pin and an eight pin on one end, and the other end plugs into my power supply.
The power supply also came with 3 power cords that have just an 8 pin on the end, no 6 pin.
It also came with 3 power cords that have just a 6 pin on the end, no 8 pin.
So my question is, since I am one cord short, would it damage my card if I used two cords, one 6 pin and one 8 pin, and plugged them both into the card and into my power supply.
I'm 90% confident that it won't damage it by overdrawing power, but I just want to see if anyone has any extra information just in case
I'm pretty sure that if the cords fit into the holes it'll work

Okay everyone. Just got off the phone with NVIDIA support. Turns out that you can indeed connect two separate power cords to a 1080TI in order to power it without damaging your card. Just sharing for future reference.
Thank you, @Jossur Surtrson . The first "everyone" post I've seen that's actually _useful. LOL
