[EvRoSn]

Hello my friends i am a new on this field since a have a loooong looong time to purchase and build up my one pc. So i would need some help. I bought the following parts:

Gainward GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 (2000MHz) Tri-Channel
Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
Corsair H50 High-Performance CPU Watercooler

My queston is do i need to conect both 6 pin and 8 pin on the graphic card? there is only the 6 pin on the psu. what do i have to do ?

According to the manual:


Should be on there already - check the box. I expect they will be four pin molex [ie like what the HDD uses] to PCI-E 6/8 pin cables, and yes, you will need both.

i will check agane but i haven't seen any in the box.

i've taken oute the psu and i found the second one.. so now i can connect the 6+2 pin to the second or i will need the adaptor ?

i've red all the manual my friend and i can say that they are not that helpfull. and before purchasing the items i'v red about them. Anyway the original manual it says that the PSU must be at least 450w.

(there are only 2 6+2 pins) and one 4+4 wich is for the motherboard

ok i have inserd the cd and i found the manual. it says the same thing i've red on the manual book:

INSTALLING YOUR NEW GAINWARD DISPLAY ADAPTER
If you are installing a Gainward display adapter with an extra power connector, please make
sure that your PC meets the following hardware requirements:
• Your PC must have a power supply unit (PSU) of at least 450 W (please reference the
information on the packaging material of your products for more detail).
• A PCI Express compliant motherboard is required. Some PCI Express motherboards violate
specifications and therefore the display adapter may not physically fit.
• A vacant slot adjacent to the PCI Express x16 slot may be required. This product series may
occupy two slots in your PC.
• A 6-pin PCI Express power connector or two available hard disk drive power connectors are
required (the floppy disk connector is not sufficient). Gainward includes a complementary power
cable to connect the display adapter card with your PC’s power supply
