Sorry, I should have said 8-pin or 6+2 pin (if my google results are correct).
You didn't answer. I think that's where the issue is - - - - the PSU has a 6 + 2 Molex connector setup. The cable looks good - - - cable with external mesh to 'neaten' up the internals - - - - except there are only 7 conductors! One of the ground cables is just not connected - - - - that's on the PSU side - - - there are 8 cables on

My guess is that the new card just have to have all eight connections. (Stands to reason imo.)
Regards --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk If your going to need a new PSU for this I would recommend going with EVGA or Seasonic as they have PSUs with 10/12 year warranties and here's an example from their high end offerings. https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=444&item_id=119416
Most modern PSUs last really long and the connectors haven't changed 6+2 pins have been around for awhile even on a older PSU I bought in 2012. The other other thing is I've assuming you know what a modular PSU is but there all modular now or at least semi excluding 8 pin for CPU and 24 pin for motherboard so buying extra cables is not a problem if they die or you need extras.
