Hi,

I have a question regarding the 6pin cables and I would like your help please.

The one that comes from my PSU, has all 6 pins live.
However, the second extention I have is using 3 cables to connect on the molex and 5 pins are "live" inside the 6pin. For example this I use exactly.

While I had no issue with the 2x5770 setup, I have the feeling the 5850 doesn't get enough power.
I have connected the 2 4pin plugs, on their own lines straight from the PSU, without other devices taking power.

Is there any cable the provides power to all 6 pins through the 4ping plugs, or I need a new PSU to come with them?

Thank you very much.
 
They only add another 2x12V lines each and the other 4 are ground (black).

How do you mean not all provide power? They are designed to and do indees supply enough power. What PSU do you have (brand and Wattage)?
