Your power supply hasn't eight pin connector on it, you're 3070 that has a 12 pin has an adapter that goes from two eight pins to a 12 pin so all you would do is take that adapter off that you're using now on your 3070 and then just plug one of the eight pins into your new 4070 pretty self-explanatory
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We also replaced a 3070 that required an adapter. For the 4070 you will just need the standard 6+2 cable that comes with your PSU. This card uses less power than the 3070.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need an 8-pin cable with your PSU. On my PSU this was labelled as PCIe. Check that you have an 8-pin slot on your PSU, and an 8-pin cable, and you'll be fine. (Don't buy a new cable if you lack one, as this can sometimes cause damage to components -- you'd almost be better off getting a new PSU.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can get an adaptor
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You just need a single 8 pin connector.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You most likely have a 12 pin to 8 pin adapter as almost all PSUs have an 8 pin GPU connector as standard. You shouldn't have a problem connecting it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nothing specific. Assuming that you're using a single cable from your PSU, the kind that has two 4+4 pins, just use the necessary amount of pins. This usually means just using a single 4+4 connection and leaving the extra 4+4 dangling off.
