do you have any pci-e power cables now?
if not then the card takes 1 x 6pin and 1 x 8pin, which is the same on the motherboard
8pin - https://www.ebay.com/itm/8pin-pcie-GPU-Video-Card-Cable-for-Asus-G20-ROG-Power-Supply-30cm-Shakmods-...
6pin - https://www.ebay.com/itm/6pin-to-6pin-pcie-GPU-Video-Card-Cable-Asus-G20-ROG-Power-Supply-30cm-Shakm...
both are 30cm in length, the links are for the ebay.com

Ps: I got the i7-4790 CPU running, going well but didn't notice that much performance increase to be honest.
Any help with the PCIE connectors I need for the Asus RTX 2080 Turbo?
Cheers

Thanks, I've ordered both today.
Another question - the 230W charger has arrived. If I unplug the 180W and plug in the 230W the computer doesnt turn on - is this normal? I am just worried that the 230w might be faulty

Check in your G20 box packaging, last time my i5 gtx745 G20aj was included with 2 pci-e power cables
8pin and 6 pin inside the box. if not there, then you need to buy them.
the 230w is only secondary power resource, it wont run solely if you set the jumper for 2 adapters.
Remember to run with 2 adapters you have to set the jumpers like this:

Thanks, I bought a used g20aj and didn't come with the original packaging. I have purchased the power cables online.
What are the jumpers at the bottom for?
Ps: how is the RTX 2080 running on your system? does it ever get too hot?

I got the GPU cables and ended up buying a used GTX 1080 Turbo for a third of the price of the 2080. It's all working great now and I am very happy with the results. Thanks again guys.
The Asus GTX 1080 Turbo GPU itself fits like a glove in the G20AJ, but the PCIE cable I got from eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8pin-pcie-GPU-Video-Card-Cable-for-Asus-G20-ROG-Power-Supply-30cm-Shakmo...) is a really tight fit. It was awfully difficult to connect the cable into the pin without removing the motherboard, I am lucky that the tight bend didn't damage the cable - the gpu is performing exceptionally well.
I am guessing the originals have an L-shaped connector? Can anyone post photos of the original PCIE 8 pin and 6 pin connectors that usually come with the case?
