So you have a GTX560ti that requires two 6pin PCI-E power connectors and your current PSU only has one?

In the box for the GTX560ti, was there a molex to PCI-E adaptor, that looks like - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-018-AK&groupid=1929&catid=153&subcat=

aye stulid i got 2 of those but they are not going to reach the psu the psu has 8 pin and 6 pin if that makes sense

you plug a molex from your psu into the molex of the molex/4pin adapter and then plug the latter into your 560. you wouldn't be plugging the 4 pin into your psu which is what I think you mean.

J-FRO i havent got a spare molex from the psu not that i see anyway that is y i need another power cable

so does any 1 no where i can get a power cable from as i have no molex left from the psu thx

molex from the psu can be stacked so effectively you could plug about 4 molex of the same connector in a train.

So you have an OCZ modular PSU and you want extra cables to replace that which have been lost? I'd imagine OCZ would be the first place I'd look and then maybe eBay and finally I'd build one myself.

Really though you should be able to free up a molex 4 pin or two using splitters available for a couple of quid.

If the 8 pin looks like this, you can use it as a 6 pin: http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/pcie8.jpg

Or it can even look like this: http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/pcie6plus2.jpg

Eyes hurt form reading your posts.

I think you've lost a cable along the lines unless Im not understanding, as my old OCZ PSU came with 2 PCIe cables.

I think hes's saying he bought a pre-built system and wasn't sent the spare cables.
