How do I connect my GTX 550 Ti?
from the computer power supply to the connectors on the top edge of on the top edge of the GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card. If your power supply needs an additional 6-pin power connector, you can use the included 4-to-6 pin adapter. Make sure to connect each 4-pin connector to a separate PSU cable.

Where does PCIe cable go?
PCIe cables connect directly from the Power Supply Unit to the installed PCIe Expansion Card; Graphics Card. A typical PCIe x16 slot on which you install the graphics card supplies 75 watts of power. This, is not nearly sufficient for many mid to high-end graphics cards.

Does it matter which PCIe cable I use?
To combine the connectors as a single 8-pin cable, the two little pins on the 2-pin connector should “hug” the 6-pin connector. When plugging the cable into the graphics card, it does not matter which cable is used in which position but pay close attention to the correct orientation.
Is the PCIe cable for GPU?
Essentially, you need to have as many PCIe cables as your graphics card needs. Depending on your GPU, this could mean a single 6 pin cable all the way to 3 x 8 pin cables on powerful cards like the NVIDIA RTX 3090. Basically, PCIe components need to be powered, just like any other component on the motherboard.
Do I need a PCIe cable?
While most of the expansion cards like a network adapter, sound card, video capture card etc, do not require PCIe cables – as they get sufficient power from the slot itself – graphics cards, on the other hand, require extra power directly supplied from the PSU.
Can I use a 6 pin on a 8 pin GPU?
Nope, it would not work. The card can ‘sense’ that only 6 pin plug has been used and will refuse to start. Adapters are bad idea – risk of causing fire.
Can you use any PCIe cable for GPU?
