Mac pro 2010 only has 6 pin power for gpu Pc#

I have an old Intel Core i7-965 PC still kicking around that was an absolute beast back in early 2009 when I built it.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, of course. So much lovely blue! (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) Are Your Other Components Good Enough? PCIe 2.0 slots in an X58 motherboard from late 2008. In fact, optimal efficiency is often at 40-60% of a PSU's rated output.

Your CPU, motherboard, RAM, and other components also draw power, however, and even if your PC is only using 400W, you probably don't want to be that close to the power supply's limit. For example, this EVGA 500W PSU has two 8-pin (6+2-pin) connectors available, and in theory could power even an RTX 2080 Ti.

Not all PSUs are created equal, however, and we recommend getting an 80 Plus Gold or 80 Plus Platinum PSU - those are more efficient, which means less heat and noise from your PC, and usually cleaner power as well.Īs for capacity, you don't want to be at the limit of your PSU. An 8-pin (or 6+2-pin) PEG connector can deliver up to 150W, and a 6-pin connector is for up to 75W. If you need a new PSU, you can refer to the above table on recommended sizes based on how many PEG connectors a GPU needs. Just buy a new PSU if you don't have the appropriate power connectors available. It's also important to note here that while 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PEG power adapters exist, as do 6-pin to 8-pin adapters, you really shouldn't use these! Melted wires, short circuits and even fires have been started with such shenanigans. If you have a PC from a large OEM (eg, something from Dell, HP, or Lenovo), you might not even be able to swap out the power supply for a newer model with the required 6- or 8-pin connectors.

6-pin PEG connectors have been around much longer, but some budget power supplies still omit them. If you have a PC that was built before 2015, there's a good chance your power supply won't have any 8-pin PCI Express Graphics (PEG) power connectors available, which are used on many of the faster cards today. Power requirements are another major sticking point. Subtracting 20mm from your measurement and buying a card that's shorter than the resulting length should do the trick. Even if you measure 300mm of clearance and a graphics card says it's 300mm long, it may be too snug a fit. We recommend giving yourself some wiggle room as well. A tight fit at the back of your GPU could make it impossible to connect the power cables. Most cards have them on the top, but some (eg, Nvidia's RTX 2060 Founders Edition) have them on the back. Also pay attention to where the PEG connectors are located on whatever GPU you purchase. It doesn't matter if it's drive bays, fans, or the front of the case - just measure near your primary PCIe x16 slot (the one closest to the CPU cooler), as that's where your graphics card should go. To determine how long your graphics card can be, measure from the expansion slots on your case to whatever part is most likely to obstruct the graphics card on the other end. We recommend going old-school and using a ruler or measuring tape - it will likely take less time and give you more accurate information. For pre-built PCs, you probably won't have it or be able to find the information online. To find out how big your GPU can be, you could try looking at your case manual, assuming you have that.
