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?

    Yes, the riser has a white 8 pin connector. So, if I connect that to the smaller 8pin on the motherboard it’ll will be good?

    Thanks!

        Sorry, I’m at the end of a long day and having a hard time understanding lol

        I have these connectors plus the one on the GPU.

        The white one is on the riser and the smaller black one is one the motherboard

        So I just need to connect the white one to the GPU?

          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
