Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoIt looks to me like that’s a 6+2 connector and they only needed the 6-pin so the +2 is just left dangling, which afaik is fine.

I saw 8 solder blobs, but I’m not sure if it’s actually an 8 pin anymore.

Oh, yeah, okay, good point. I didn’t notice the solder. I’m not sure if it’s actually a six pin anymore. I have zero clue how an 8 pin GPU would react to only having 6 pins.

If you look closely on the upper picture in this reply, you can see, that there is only a 6-pin connector, the 2 extra soldering points are unused.
