Hello, I'm going to replace the graphics card with the asus gtx 970 strix which has only an 8-pin connector and my power supply has only 2x6pin for the graphics card, the power supply is https: //www.morele.n...-he-500-387227/. Will the adapter be able to do it or do I need to replace the...

If it is this power supply, it has an 8pin (6 + 2) connector.

A 6pin-> 8pin adapter should be enough. Enter the brand and model of the power supply. What is the rest of the computer configuration?

You have apricot link with this power supply it is exactly this 500w hexa fortron model

So what if you can't post it normally! ;) The power supply is enough.

And indeed the link does not work, sorry my mistake . I know that it can do it, but can this adapter be able to top up the card in 100%?

Weird, I have a free 2pin cable, but it is not on the 6-pin one, but somewhere near molex it is loose

You need to buy an adapter. Is it from molex or 6pin PCI-E. Make sure you don't have a 6 + 2 pin plug, although probably 6 + 2 is only in the hexa + series.

I don't think there is a 6 + 2 that 2 pin is from something else, damn knows from what

he has a 6 + 2 skeleton, now I turned it on quickly and it is thanks for help colleagues! This 2 pin is probably not from PCIE because it should have a square and this hexagon here is a photo of what the connector looks like

Just note that there are two hexagonal pins on the 2nd pin, not a square and a hexagon

in total, I will put a hexagon into a square plug worse if it was square and you would have to insert it into a hexagonal

But I am unlucky, I plugged this 2 pin into my gtx 750 ti which has a 6-pin connector and one wall broke through this 2 pin ... It seems to be fine with everything, but the price of the card went down by PLN 100 and the warranty 1, The 5 year old went to them ...

You are not unlucky, but you are stupid - because this connection was supposed to give you ?!

Users confirm that a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter can be used to connect the graphics card, and the power supply is sufficient for the upgrade. There are discussions about the specific connectors available on the power supply, with clarifications that it does indeed have a 6+2 pin connector. The conversation also touches on potential issues with incorrect connections and the importance of ensuring compatibility with the graphics card's power requirements.
