MATX gfx power question

Massive Attack · 23 Mar 2007 at 22:54

Hi all,

Been looking around for a decent matx mobo and noticed that none of them have the 4 pin molex connectors on the mobo for the extra power for the graphics, will there be an issue with graphics cards powered by the mobo?

cheers

I've had 8800GTX's running in my various boards and as long as the 6-pin connectors are on there is no problem.

cheers WJA96 but im on about running say a 7600GT which doesnt have a 6pin pci-e connector and need additional power from the mobo

Then you have 2 options - try it and see or swap to a bigger/smaller graphics card.

Unfortunately I don't see any other way to test it. Good luck!
