Dell T3610 8-pin GPU cable HELP
Hi, I have a Dell T3610 with a 685W power supply, which comes with an 8-pin to 6-pin cable.
I want to change the graphics card to an RX 580, this graphics card has an 8-pin connector.
1- My question is what is the ideal cable to make that card work normally?
2- Can I modify the 6-pin cable I have by adding 2 cables that go from the negative to the graphics card? Isn't this going to pose a danger?
3- I have measured the input voltage of the PSU and I found that three pins are positive 12v and the rest are negative, this is normal in all PSUs or there must be 4 positive pins and four negative to give the 150W of power that Do you need the graph? (excuse my ignorance)

you can use this one

or you can use the Dell 6 to 8 pin adapter

Several years late, but I just did this for my t3610 for an RX 570.
The machine came with an 8pin(only 6 pins populated same as the OP) to 2x6pin cable
Rather than add an adapter to convert the 2x6pin back to an 8pin, I replaced it with a homebrew straight 8 pin to 8pin pcie cable, each pin to its matching pin on the other end.
Works fine.
