Help with power supply board!
Hello i have a dell t5810 with a 685w psu and currently running a GTX 1080 I spent the money during Christmas to buy EVA 1080 TI 11 GBSC But this card requires more power and an upgrade from my original eight pin. This one needs a eight pin and a six pin power supply board only has one dedicated GPUVGA I read another post somewhere on here saying you can use the empty CPU two Slot so I bought a 10 pin connector To a 6+2 connector and I try to use that to be my second rail for my GPU but every single time I plug in the CPU to wire power the whole system won’t turn on! I messed up and I already pulled the trigger and bought a 825w Dell PSU hoping that it will be interchangeable but I realized I still will only have one dedicated GPUVGA available and I won’t be able to pull anymore power even though I have a bigger power supply or can anybody give me tips to Why I can’t use the CPU to power or if there is anywhere or another part for the power supply board with two GPU Slots so I can pull the necessary 250 W that I need? Please get back to me with any ideas. I’m about to just can it and sell the 1080 TI because I feel like the fans were too loud when I did get it to run and try to upgrade to rt 3070 Which also needs 220 W so I’m also scared to waste more money. I’m already $400 in the hole with all the adapters and the new power supply and graphics already bought.!! HELPP PLZ THANKS AND GOD BLESS for your time!!!

Hello,
personal opinion but it would have been better to spend the same amount to by example get something like this
