PCIe 8 pin supplemental power connector on my MSI motherboard - GPU/PCIe or EPS cable?
Hi. I'm going to need a 90 degree 8 pin cable for this connector at the bottom of my motherboard (MSI x870e Gaming Plus) because of limited space (Arctic 140mm pros are beefy) and stiff stock cables from my PSU, but I'm unsure which type of cable I would need. I did read "It uses a standard PCIe 6+2 pin cable, not a CPU cable", so would that mean your GPU cable? I have a Montech Century II 1050w PSU, so I know your cables are compatible - now I just need to find the correct one. Thanks!
Here is an article explaining a bit about the purpose of the extra connector, if needed.
