I was gifted a R720xd by work (yay!) and want to install a spare 3060 I have. Does any one know of a power cable and advice? Do I hook the power to the riser, the card, both?

Yes, the riser has a white 8 pin connector. So, if I connect that to the smaller 8pin on the motherboard it’ll will be good?
Thanks!
Nah, that connects to your GPU you want to you, not the motherboard
Sorry, I’m at the end of a long day and having a hard time understanding lol
I have these connectors plus the one on the GPU.
The white one is on the riser and the smaller black one is one the motherboard
So I just need to connect the white one to the GPU?
Yep, so one end to the GPU (you may have a spare 6 or 8 pin cable, this is fine it doesn’t get plugged into anything) and then the other end to the Riser
But make sure this isn’t just a GPU cable you have lying around, if it is make sure the pinout is correct or you will blow your riser card
