Subject: Building Question #2: Video card power connectors vs. PSU
Hello everyone,

My second question has to do with the power connection between the PSU and the video card.

According to the information provided for both the video card ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130738 ) and the PSU ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010)....

The video card requires 2 x 6 Pin connectors, and the PSU has 4x6+2 Pin connectors.


Does this mean that the connectors from the PSU will work with the video card, or do I need an adapter for the 4x6+2 to make it just 2x6 (no +2)?


Thank you!

The PSU will work and the video card comes with adapters if you need them. You should be fine.

What the PSU is stating is that it has 4 connectors that are in 2 pieces(basically) so that it can be used as a 6pin or an 8pin. (6+2)
