Dell Precision T5610 Dual GPU Cable and PSU
I have a Dell Precision T5610 workstation which currently has a single GeForce GTX 1070 in it. I noticed in the user manual that there were two PCIe x16 slots to support two video cards under 300W. However, the power distribution board only has one 8-pin GPU power connector. Is there another power distribution board which supports two video cards? Also, would this require an 825W power supply?

Hi @BMillikan73 ,
Only one POWER_VGA1 socket available on power distribution board for T5610 no matter if it's M6NP2 or CVHT6, and no other options.
If you're planning to use 2 units of GTX 1070 originally from Nvidia which require one 8-pin power socket on each card, you may use a 8-pin male to dual 8-pin male cable, like this:
But if your GPU cards are retail version like MSI that require 8+6pin socket on each card, you may refer to this article which shows how to deal with dual 1080ti on a Dell T5600.
Definitely yes, but also good enough. Take the article quoted above as example again, a 825w PSU can drive two 1080ti. It should be fine with dual 1070.

I am trying to find the right cable to install a Geforce 1660 Super into my sons T5610, can you share this info?
GPU - 8 PIN
PSU - 8 PIN
I cannot find an 8 pin to 8 pin PCIe cable for love nor money.

Hi @aenonymouse ,
Hard to find a single 8pin male-to-male cable from eBay or Amazon, but do in Aliexpress.
Besides, it's actually fine to use the splitter cable pictured above to connect a single GPU.
