Do I really have to plug in all 3 of this connector? Yes I do have another pcie 2(6+2) but don't know if my psu has a place to put it in

if you want to avoid any compatibility problems, buy an ATX 3.0 power supply Oooooor, just go with radeon that doesn't use the 12 volt high power connector 😉 I would follow the instructions on the 4070Ti. They have to explain there which connectors are needed. Yes, you need to follow all steps, this connector could melt if not inserted properly

yeah sorry my eye is bad so all i have to do is plug those PCIe to this 3 pin connector the end of those 3 pin connector is PCie 5 for my 4070ti i heard pinning the metal needle pin part or not plugging in all the way can cause fire are those the only two main things to avoid?
