Why would you instruct people to create a fire hazard.? First that supply 310 watts is barely enough to supply power to a Motherboard and CPU at idle never mind the power demands that the GPU will place on it. 2 jumping wires at the plug is not the same as running a second wire from the source, the added current demand placed on the single wire you jumperd to will cause it to heat up and cause a fire hazard. Finaly just a warning By posting a video detailing how to doing somthing foolish you are placing yourself in a position to be legally liable if the procedure in the video results in the video card to short out or burn up or cause a fire do yourself a favor and delete it. There is a reason why the card requires the wire circuits is Because it needs them
Good advice, if you have an old PSU, replace it with a used PSU, used market for PSU is good, for $50-60 you can even get fully modular 850W gold PSU. But thanks for the video
I have not increased voltage on the cards I have modified, no instability or smoking wires. make sure you dont cross wires and they are making full contact. I do make sure the power requirements for the gpu and overall system are met spects wise on the power supply. check out my new video regarding your question for a bit more details.

Hi,thank you very much for this information, I want to ask you if I can use just cables to connect the other connectors because I cant find an other psu to get the two connectors.
Most PSUs from 2010 and beyond have a 6pm connector design that has 3 12-volt pins instead of just 2, and those connectors are actually rated for 150W like a regular 8 pin/6+2 pin connector. All the extra 2 pins do are Sense and GND.
@@RhuanTob The 6 18awg wires can easily handle up to 300+ W in total. With standard ATX power supplies, the 2 extra pins on 6 pin connectors give clearance for a maximum 150W draw, and 75W if otherwise. The only concern should be whether or not the rail can supply enough for the connected devices. So in theory, using a 6 to 8 pin adapter is fine.
So I recently upgraded my gt 1030 to an RX 480 and when I play GTA I get 25 fps but when I had my gt 1030 I would get way better fps than my RX 480 and I can't seem to find out the problem.

hey bro i have the same problem that you have i need just 2more pin but in game i get like 60 Fps and after each 6 seconds it goes down to 15 fps when i did the benchmark i saw that when this drop frame happens in the same time the Graphic usage goes down like 80% to 30-20% is that the problem from the pins ?
If your pc is not blue screening or crashing probably not, could be a cpu or gpu bottle neck, or both items need to be upgraded lower down your graphics settings also running benchmarks usually pushes the cpu and gpu to the max I burned out a bunch of older cards that way from creating too much heat. Im almost 100 percent is not the pins also didnt quite understand if you actually did the mod or your gpu is missing the pins from the power supply, but your still able to use the card with the missing pins, in some instances some cards do power up with only one 8 or six pin connector but can't really remember which one's I do remember hearing something similar from Brian, from tech yes city.
Q: Dont work with only 6pin connector? aditional 2pins conector is really necesary?
