Hi, just got a new 6950 graphics card which needs/has:
''2x 6pin PCI-E power connectors required (Power Adapters included in box for older PSU's)''
I have an FSP Blue Storm AX500-A power supply, which only has 1 pci-e power cable. As stated above the card came with 2 x (2x4pin molex to one 6pin pci-e) convertor cables. However in the instructions for the card it states that they dont recommend using any convertors at all.
So what I wanted to know pls is:
1) should the 6 pin I have got go into a specific one of the two 'ports' and
2) Can i use the convertor and what risk is there in using them, and what might I lose by not having the 2 6pins?
Any help would be very much appreciated so I can tell if i can install my new card risk free.
Thanks a lot
