I am working on upgrading my ASUS ROG G20AJ from its existing Nvidia GTX 960 (6 pin connector) to a Nvidia GTX 1070 Founders Edition (8 pin connector).
In the existing configuration (GTX 960), both connectors require a 6 pin cable, which I have. The upgraded configuration requires an 8 pin on each end, which I do not have. I procured a set of cables "power cables" from Micro Center, but those do not work. Well, correction, I have a 6+2 to 8 pin connector that works on the 6+2 side only, but not the 8 pin on the other side.
As a follow on.. is it possible to power a GPU off a SATA power connector? I have seen cables that will do SATA to 8 pin.
So talking through this, it seems the answer would be a 6+2 (male) to 6+2 (male) cable would be the answer, but I dont know where I would get one.
Can anyone point me to where I would find a cable that would allow me to connect to from the 8 pin female on the GPU to the 8 pin female on the motherboard?
