Seems like our resident computer expert was flummoxed by his video card last night.

Anyways I downloaded Ironsight and had an enjoyable time.

typical bruce stuff, saying nothing else was needed.

Not the case. Apparently the guy that put my PC together used a 6+2 into the PSU and a single 8 pin into the 1070, as one 8 pin was all that was needed. The 1080ti needs two 8 pins, and I don't have that cable. Gotta go find one today after work.

Got to do the wonderful 1.5 hour drive to work at 5:45 this morning. Worth it since the Pels are in the playoffs and playing the blazers

Also have to sub for a lazy arse teacher this morning. Not how I want to start this AM

Bruce didn't assume that you threw all your PSU cables away since you weren't using them.

I guess that is Bruce's fault, he knows who he is dealing with.

He'd have to buy a whole new PSU. A lot of PSU manufacturers use their own connections for modular expansions.

Edit: Did the video card not come with Molex to 6+2pin adapters? What power supply do you have?

Im assuming thats the two cables that have two white 6 pins on one end and the 8 pin on the other. Yes, it came with two of those.

At least we see things the same way now.

I looked for the cables in some of the boxes I have, but most of them are in storage and there is a better chance that they did get tossed. What makes these different from stuff at best buy or a PC store, the connectors into the PSU?

Look, I'm borderline computer retarded and even I know you never throw cables away.
