Darkviper Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi all! ASUS has announced that their custom RTX 3080 /90 Strix models will require 3 pcie pins from the PSU. Toughpower DPS G RGB modular 750w has only got 2 PCIE cables available coming from the PSU, however these are split and have 2 connectors each. Is my PSU compatible with the new nvidia 3080 by running a 1 cable direct, 1 cable split to connect all three pins? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT0987 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi , Thanks for your message. We recommend that if you want to use ASUS RTX 3080/3090 Strix models, please use at least 850W up models. Here's some list for your reference. https://www.thermaltake.com/toughpower-pf1-850w-tt-premium-edition.html https://www.thermaltake.com/toughpower-gf1-850w-tt-premium-edition.html Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkviper Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Many thanks for the answer, Looking at the https://www.thermaltake.com/toughpower-gf1-850w-tt-premium-edition.html I can see still only 2 PCIE lanes, so same question holds. Can I use 1 cable direct, 1 cable split to connect all three pins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT0987 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi, Thanks for your message. Down below is Toughpower GF1 850W cable information. There are 3 lanes for PCI-E cables and 6 connectors in total. You can use 1 cable direct, 1 cable split to connect all three pins, but just a bit worried about the split cable is overloaded. So we recommend that choose a higher wattage PSU to connect the ASUS RTX 3080/3090 Strix models one by one is safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
