I have a fully modular power supply it is an XFX pro 1050W. It has sadly had a lot of issues, due to corona virus... You may LAUGH, but at the start of the lock downs, the power company and the water works have been dropping almost daily in some weeks. Obviously my poor unit has had a breakdown, and I've had to gently start it like catching a clutch on a car. I bought a new one, called a gigabyte P850GM, but i have a cable of 12 slots to fit, I'm not positive but that's my gpu??? Anyway, this bloody thing only has a 10 slot hole, and every one i look at online has the same. Please can someone advise me? I've never had the problem of being to big before baldie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I've never had the problem of being to big before Look carefully at connectors some you can take bits off 'I have a cable of 12 slots to fit' your m'bd or the cable connector? So your Motherboard has a 10 slot hole. I think you're mixing up the 20 pin slot with the 24 is it a total of 10 holes? which don't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB makers do this so you have to buy "their" stuff. Dell is bad about this. That being said don't use it unless your MOBO calls for it. For your "12" pin connection on the gpu you will use 2 cables. They will be the "6+2" cables but just use the 6 part of each cable to connect to the gpu. The other end having "8" connectors plug in to any of the "CPU/PCI-E" connections of your PS. Hope this helps. Knowing what MOBO you are using would help us a lot. Edited April 28, 2021 by CW4 RobMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Hope this helps. no way in hell MIX CPU/PCI-E for are not same pinout the polarity are reversed an kiss good by what you plug it in.....see dia gram below you can plug PCIe in MB power(ESP-12v) but not MB power in PCIe won't go I found by experience, notice the yellow is 12+ this why told him to use multimeter to check voltage be fore connecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
