Looks good to me, I would appreciate that ++ , I'll open my 8910 and take pictures to see how it matches.

thanks

8 pin indicates 225W to 300W card.

Tapping power from other connectors on the power supply DOES NOT Give you more power for the power supply.

In other words stock 460W unit doesn't come with 8 pin connectors because it does not have 300W of Extra power to provide for the video card alone.

I thought the OP had a GTX 1060. My research indicates the GTX 1060 has a 6-pin supplementary power connector, but I assume that some versions may have an 8-pin connector.

Hi, @Anonymous ,

Yes, my XPS8930 is fitted with a GTX1080 & the "Stock 460W PSU", as your earlier Photo clearly shows, has a 6+2 Connector (i.e. it can be used for BOTH 6Pin & 8 Pin Connections).
