It was $100 off on Memory Express, but I've been dealing with problems with it now. Screen goes blank by itself at random times. I have to unplug and plug the monitor back in to get the screen back. I did some more research and it seems there are others having this issue too. I might return it.

I thought with newer GPUs being more powerful they would need more pins to draw more power?
Why does my old AMD 7950 requires 14 (8+6) pins but the new 3060 and 3070 only requires 8 pins total?

So if I was to get a RTX3060, I would ONLY plug in the 8pin and tuck away the 6pin?
This is all so confusing.
