Gotcha that makes sense

2018-01-11 17:53:29 UTC  

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?

2018-01-11 17:58:23 UTC  

I don't understand the question

2018-01-11 18:02:05 UTC  

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.

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.

2018-01-11 18:04:29 UTC  

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

2018-01-11 18:10:14 UTC  

I'm pretty sure that if the cords fit into the holes it'll work

2018-01-11 18:28:07 UTC  

@here
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

just fucking with you man, I can't afford to blow my paycheck on PC hardware anymore either

@king Don't do it until the bitcoin trend calms down. Prices are inflated by 200% or so on GPU's
