Dell Power edge R720xd and GPU Power cable (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I was gifted a R720xd by work (yay!) and want to install a spare 3060 I have. Does any one know of a power cable and advice? Do I hook the power to the riser, the card, both?

Yep, so one end to the GPU (you may have a spare 6 or 8 pin cable, this is fine it doesn’t get plugged into anything) and then the other end to the Riser

But make sure this isn’t just a GPU cable you have lying around, if it is make sure the pinout is correct or you will blow your riser card
