what connector does gpu use
The 6 pin to 8 pin PCI Express adapter will only work if the 6 pin PCI Express connector has a +12 volt wire at pin 2; although most good power supplies have this, the ATX standard is for it not to be there. Whatever adaptor you try to use, it needs to provide enough power to the GPU power connection.or most of the newer processors, even during extreme overclocking, ether connector would work fine. If you want to, you can even connect both the 8 pin and 4 pin CPU connections, all it will do is farther increase the wattage that is available to the CPU (315 watts).
