2060 Power supply, simple questions

[Cafe Slimp]

You will need to get at it anyway if you want to swap it out for a new PSU, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look

Sounds good! But then, where would I plug in the 2060? There any ports that I can get a pcie adapter for?

You'll have to look at the PSU to know this.

Your 2060 is plugged into the motherboard correctly. All it's missing is an 8-pin PCI-E power plug from the PSU.

Most PSUs have them as a 6+2, like this.

The reasons why I want you to look at your PSU is because I want to verify it doesn't have any PCI-E connectors, and I want to see if it has enough wattage for the card. If it has no PCI-E connectors but does have enough wattage and you have some other type of spare connectors, can probably get away with just an adapter.

If you need to buy a standard PSU, you will need an adapter like this to convert the 24 pin power into the proprietary 8 pin your motherboard uses.
