| | Is your card a 9800GX2 or a 9800GTX+ If it is a 9800GTX+ then actually I believe what you really need is: Two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors -or- One 6-pin PCI Express and two 4-pin Molex supplementary power connectors. Heres a 9800gtx+ card at tigerdirect: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=E145-9802 If it is a 9800GX2 then you will need 1 8-pin Here's a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-420-_-Product |

| | On some cards you actually need an 8 pin. My PSU has a 6 pin and a 6+2 Pin. I did some goggling in the UK and couldn't find anything except for an 4pin molex to an 8pin EPS but I don't think it will work since it is meant for the Motherboard. And if you compare the 2 pics side by side you'll see the EPS doesn't have 2 12V pins just 2 wires into 1 pin connection point. Your probably going to have to replace your PUS 4-Pin Molex to 8-Pin EPS-12V Adapter/Converter Cable: XPC-AD4/8. As for the card it is like having 2 9800g's so yes it is a very good card but as you have found out it requires a lot of power. My OCZ Gamexstream 700w has the connector even though they don't state it in the specs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341034 Last edited by thefabe; 10-26-2009 at 09:38 AM.. |
