Aurora R7, upgrade to RTX 3070

Check to see if the power supply comes with this type of cable. Most do, most have 2 of this type. You will be looking for the 6+2 PIN version.

PCI-E Connector (6-pin and 6+2 pin)

PCI-E Connectors 

While they might sell adaptors to go from 6 to 8 pin, I would not recommend using them at all.

What specific RTX 3070 graphics card did you get?

Hi dell community,

I have purchased an rtx 3070 with dimensions of 10.5 inch so fitting is no issue however, I want to know what cable I will need to connect the oem 850w psu to the new rtx 3070 gpu. I think it would be a 6 pin to x2 (8) pin or an adaptor of some sort but I could be wrong. If anyone can provide guidance, that would be super.

Kind regards,

James

Since there is no particular wiring standard for modular power-supplies, you should get it from Dell Parts (since it's a Dell OEM PS). There is a nice list (with pics and part-numbers) here in the forum somewhere.

However, since you got the OEM 750w PS pre-installed, I'm a little surprised it didn't come with the modular cable(s) you need.

So, the Nvidia RTX-3070 needs PCIe-Power 8-pinner x2 ?

Hi, 

I purchased the rtx 370 ventus 2x 8g oc lhr graphics card.

Very helpful, there are x2 8-pin (6+2) pcie cables available.

Thanks to everyone who supported my claim
