How Can I Connect My PSU with Only 3 PCIe Cables?

Asked By TechieGamer92 On

I'm building a computer using an MSI MPG A850GS power supply, but I'm in a bit of a bind. The PSU only has three PCIe outputs, while my motherboard/CPU needs two of those, and my graphics card (an RX 9070 XT) will need at least two, potentially three connections. The PSU also has two 12v 2x6 connectors, but I'm unsure if I can utilize those. Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

You need to check the PSU's official site. The MSI MPG A850GS comes with a 16-pin to 2 8-pin connector cable. You can use that along with one of the 8-pin PCIe cables to connect your GPU properly. That should give you enough power for your setup!

I appreciate the clarification! I checked the site, but I wasn’t clear on which cables were meant for what. You mentioned the EPE cable, right? Where exactly do those fit into the PSU?

I think the mobile version of the site can be a bit confusing. Just scroll to see the cables section, and it should clarify how everything connects.
