Hello forum and thanks in advance for trying to help me. I just bought a Asrock Radeon RX VEGA 56 8GB HBM2 Phantom Gaming video card, but my power supply is a Cooler Master Silent Pro M700. It is a modular power supply that has two Pci express 6 pin slots outgoing, and the video card needs an input of two 8 pin cables. I've been going mad reading stuff in both manuals, but can't piece it together. This is what the power supply user manual shows: https://imgur.com/a/9b96BwB And all I could find in the Asrock web pages was that the card has 2 x 8-pin connectors (which I alredy know) and that the recommended PSU is 650W. But I don't understand a lot about voltages and pc wiring, can someone please tell me how to connect it? My gut tells me to buy 2 cables with a 6 pin to 8 pin conversion, and plug both 6 pin ends in my PSU and the other two 8 pin ends to the video card, but I don't know if this will overpower the card and might fry it, or perhaps that's exactly what must be done. Can someone please help me? I'm sort of desperate. |

Dear Jpaz90, Thank you for choosing ASRock. Regarding your case, please connect your PCI-e 6 Pin to power supply and connect PCI-e 6+2(8) Pin to the VEGA 56.  Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |
