Graphics Card Molex Connection from PSU

[Gilbert89]

Just curious as to what adapter you need to power a Radeon Card with 4 Pins... Brothers bought an HP computer and there isn't a cable to power there are P6 Connections and Sata Connections.

Any help on this would be appreciated, Sorry for lack of detail/knowledge on this.

What make/model of graphics card is it?

Normally if anything they require 6 pin PCI-E power connector(s) or 6/8 pin on the higher end.

I've never seen a graphics card requiring a molex power connector.

Posts a picture if you can.

AGP cards that needed extra power had them if I remember correctly but Im sure all PCI E cards used pci e 6 pin / 8 pin cables.

it was common on high end (at the time) AGP cards like x1950pro and 6800gt. probably not relevant to this discussion because i very much doubt it's an agp card/mobo.

if it really is a molex connector then i guess this would do the job.

If I read correctly you want a Female 4-pin Molex to Male SATA connector. The one marc2003 posted should do fine. I can't speak to the quality of the power that'll be supplied to the card though.

Very old cards (like my old 9700Pro, R.I.P. fella) use 4-Pin floppy drive power. That would be even more of a PITA.

You can still buy Molex to Floppy connectors without too much difficulty. I had one with my Xonar DX but it wasn't needed as my PSU still has a floppy connector on one of th cables.
