USB4 PCIE GEN4 Expansion Card

[Pharos_Crusader]

I bought the above mentioned expansion card so that I can make full use of the GeminosX dual monitors that I recently purchased. My question is this. The installation instructions talk about connecting a 6-pin PCIe power connector from the PSU to the card. The card did not come with this cable. My understanding is that it is for the 60W fast charging capability of the card. Is this correct? And if so, do I absolutely have to have it for the card to function correctly? And lastly, if it is necessary, what is the connector coming from the PSU? I have seen 8-pin and 10-pin on amazon and I need to make sure that I get the right one. Any and all help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Pharos_Crusader I do not think this card will work for video output. Which board, CPU and graphics card do you have in your build?

Regarding the 6-pin PCIe cable, you can try https://cablemod.com/product-category/cable-extensions/6-pin-pcie/ . The cards typically do not come with power cables as these types of cables are included with the power supply. If you bought a pre-built PC then it would not come with these power cables and the link I provided is a good place to get them. There are other manufacturers who sell them. The power supplies typically come with 8-pin which can be split into 6-pin or 2 4-pin connector on higher end supplies.
