Hey guys, fantastic information here! So I decided to finally hop on the DIY eGPU train as well, and as a newbie promptly stumbled into problems of course. Although the forum provides lots of info I have an individual question (as I couldn't find an answer here). For my build I ordered: - AKiTiO Thunder2 - Gigabyte GTX 970 Mini (I knew that it wouldn't fit perfectly, but the Galax/KFA2 Version was impossible to find) - Dell DA-2 - Prewired adapter cable (as someone on the forum pointed out), a female 12-Pin to double 6-Pin PCI-E with 2.5mm barrel plug When I unpacked the cable and tried to connect it, I realized that the GPU needs a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Can I just plug one of the two 6-pin cables into the card's 8-pin power connector, or would I witness a short but beautiful sparkling firework of my brand new 970? Would it be safer to use a dual 6pin female to 8pin male adapter cable (which means another adapter...), like this one for instance? Your help would be much appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!
