I'm trying to figure out if my Corsair RM850 (2019) Gold power supply can support the Radeon 9070 XT graphics card. I found on Corsair's site that this PSU is fully modular, but I'm not sure about the connectors. The 9070 XT requires a 12vhpwr connection, but my PSU doesn't seem to have that. Can I use the EPS/ATX12V 8 pin (4+4) cable together with the PCIe 8 pin (6+2) cable? Or do I need to get a new power supply entirely? I'd really appreciate any help since I'm not very familiar with power supply ports.

You're right to check! Typically, the Radeon 9070 XT will come with a PCIe 8 pin to 12vhpwr adapter, which can be super helpful. Just make sure your power supply has enough 8-pin connectors—usually, they need about three for optimal performance.
Thanks for the info! So, just to clarify, do I definitely need a new power supply, or can the adapters work? I really don’t know much about these pin setups.
Honestly, if your PSU has enough 8 pins, you might be able to get away with just using the adapters. No need to rush into buying a new PSU unless you're short on connectors. Good luck!
