# Can I connect 12V-2x6 end of cable to PSU and dual 8pin to GPU?

You cannot use a regular dual 8-pin (PSU) to 12V-2X6 (GPU) cable in reverse to connect the 12V-2X6 to the PSU. 

This is because different power supplies have varying pin configurations for their 8-pin ports, which may not be compatible with the standard 8-pin PCIe port on the GPU. 

To achieve this connection properly, you must use a specialized cable: the [ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 600W 12VHPWR 16-Pin to Dual 8-Pin PCIe Power Cable](https://www.moddiy.com/products/ATX-3.0-PCIe-5.0-600W-12VHPWR-16-Pin-to-Dual-8-Pin-PCIE-Power-Cable.html). This cable is specifically designed so that the 12V-2X6 end connects to the PSU, while the dual 8-pin PCIe end connects to the GPU.
