Hi @Edgarasbd ,

Technically yes, with something like this. However, connection in cable-to-cable style for GPU may lead to system unstable. If you need to buy extra cable anyway, better go for a single 8pin male to 6+8pin male one. Not necessary to be exactly the one in my previous reply but any generic one will do. Maybe you can look for it in a nearby computer store or eBay/Amazon.

Hi @Edgarasbd ,

Check out page #58 of T3610 Owner's Manual and you're right that max 300w for GPU. And you need a 8 to 8+6pin power cable, like this.
