A different PSU only for the 6 / 8 PINS of GPU

Racing Games Mania TV · Aug 7, 2021

Hi all, new here, sorry for my english, Portuguese.

My Desktop PSU is only 310 w and no cable to connect to 6 / 8 PINS of GPU.
Is it possible to use an older / different PSU outside the case just to connect the 6 or 8 pins cable ?

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for the reply. I will try to know how to turn on both desktop and the other PSU (no power switch) at the same time.

Do it online on youtube, that psu you have will not be enough to drive a pcie slot, so save money up and huy a 520W PSU...

Did you open the System Specs? Of course to be sure he should answer the question but my money is on a Asus no-name PSU with a i5 4460s and a 1050 Ti, not the AUSU model the TPU did a review on back in the days since that model have a 6 pin connector. So the PSU is delivering the 75 W (74 W) for the PCI-e slot atm.

The proprietary hp psu ( 310 W and no cable to connect to 6 / 8 PINS for GPU) already came in the sytem, i wanted to use other PSU outside the case just to feed the 6 or 8 pin of the gpu. Now i have gtx 1650 (no extra power) but i want to upgrade the gpu. Thats it.

The cables that feeds the board and CPU are both 4 pin only.

I have this PC:
HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0016np

Added 8 GB ram module ( 16 GB now ) + 1 TB HDD ( 2 TB now ), and will add an SSD 512 GB.

Your PSU is probably 15x14cm, so you could replace it with a 500-600w. Indeed you will need a 4pin to 8pin adapter. Just be careful with the GPU length, 18-20cm should be the limit in your case. If you position the SSD at the same height with the GPU you might find a little more space. A single fan 1650-S or 1660-S (or -ti) seems like the best option, I don't think your case can dissipate the heat from a e.g. 200w GPU.

Well it turned out that the order he put the PSU wasn’t the same as then CPUs, so I got fooled as well.

The HP PC has a small proprietary PSU ( 310 W ), sorry for the confusion. Can't find a replacement...
I'll keep digging.
Thanks for the replies!
