I assume you are talking about the eight-pin power connector on the graphics card. If you got a 2x6-pin to 8-pin, then you need to buy a 2xMOLEX-> 1x6-pin.

I'm going to use a GTX 950 OCV1 with 2GB of ram.

6-pin power connector can supply 75 Watt to the graphics card while 8-pin power connector can deliver maximum of 150W to your graphics card. I'm setting up an external GPU with my old Lenovo t430 with 8GB DDR3,an intel core i5-3320m and a GDC V.8 expresscard system. This has nothing to do with the motherboard. I have fit it in, the 6 pin is plugged into my CoolerMaster PSU form the graphics card, however as the 760 has an 8 pin as well, and my PSU doesnt ( i think) have an 8 pin. Power supply doesn't have a free cable for my GPU Hey guys I'm relatively new to the pc building world but anyway, I got a new graphics card the rx580, because my previous one the gtx1050 broke.

With the dual molex adapter, you're pulling all the 12V current through two wires on the peripheral cable and two pins on the end of the connector that plugs into the supply.

Anyway it came today and I found it needs power , it uses an 8 pin plug. All I have available are two separate power cables which both have two 6-pin connectors on them (which would make a GTX 285 SLI configuration a breeze to setup), and also a single power cable with a white plastic 4-pin connector on the end. I don't seem to have an 8-pin connector attached to my non-modular 1000 watt power supply? If your PSU doesn't even supply 4 6-pin plugs, I'm pretty sure it won't supply enough power for crossfired 5850s.

but all my molex are being used for the top fan/lights and front fans.

I recently got the msi gtx 760. Thus you'd have to buy TWO adapters. SUMMARY: Okay, the card does NOT come with an adapter.

There is no way i can plug in my 8 pin into the PSU?

Electrically, your best bet is to use the 8 pin EPS to 8 pin PCI-E adapter. I don’t know anything about the power supply you have. A single rail power supply does not need the extra 4 pins because the cpu is getting all the watts it needs. I have a major problem. At the same time, all the better motherboards (AsRock X470 Taichi, ASUS Crosshair VI Hero etc.) have one 8pin connector AND one 4pin connector to supply a CPU.

At least that way you're pulling power through three wires and connector pins. At that point though, I'd suggest just getting a PSU with an 8-pin (or 6+2)-pin output as that will be less messy and only cost a little more once SHIPPING etc is factored in.

Buy Adapters or Power Converter Cables for 6-pin PCI-E and 8-pin PCI-E connectors.

The power supply is rated at 460 watts.

I don’t know if you need a new power supply. fredgml7 , Jul 31, 2019 #16

If you have a single rail PSU you will be more than fine splitting the 6 pin PCIe or a 4 pin Molex into a 8 pin PCIe using an adapter. At that point though, I'd suggest just getting a PSU with an 8-pin (or 6+2)-pin output as that will be less messy and only cost a little more once SHIPPING etc is factored in. I have the same board but a RX570, my power supply (Corsair CX500) doesn't have 8+4 pin and everything is working just fine till now. A single rail power supply does not need the extra 4 pins because the cpu is getting all the watts it needs. If you got a 2x6-pin to 8-pin, then you need to buy a 2xMOLEX-> 1x6-pin. Thus you'd have to buy TWO adapters. When you get into the multi rail PSU's you will have to make sure the rail you are splitting has the power you need for the new card or you will run into trouble.

my old video card came with a molex - 6 pin pci e connector. SUMMARY: Okay, the card does NOT come with an adapter. And that's it.

I know for a fact the card draws 90 watts of power, but don't know where to find a reliable power source that doesn't have …
