What should I do in this case?
I have the CORSAIR RM550X.
It has the following connections:
- 24-pin ATX (actually 28 pins)
- 6+2-pin PCIe
- 4+4-pin CPU
- 3 × 6-pin SATA
For my graphics card I need:
- an 8-pin and
- a 6-pin connector.
What do I do now?
GPU: 1080 Ti (250 watts)
Can I use the SATA ports for this? (Probably not, I 'm stupid)
I'm currently using a 6+2 / 6+2 Y-splitter cable. However, without lowering the power limit or downclocking the graphics card, the system doesn't run stable.

Uiuiui! I used to do it. In such a thick large workstation with two XEON processors on the board just plug two RTX 2080 Ti cards and then connected to the power supply and this SATA PCIe adapter! For a couple of weeks, this was also happening, but then it was very fast! Ooh! My God, I was lucky! Nothing’s been torched or broken, but that could have happened easily. Then have calculated the demand with the power supply calculator and then bought a 1200 watt power supply for 230 euros. Since then it has always been great, even though both XEONs and both RTX have been fully utilized for days.
Do it too. Click through the power supply calculator and then buy the appropriate power supply: https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator
No, SATA for GPU is a no-go. Get a new power supply with enough PCIe ports or risk unstable operation.
