Hi all,

I had a new PCI express m/b (msi k8n) and HIS Iceq3 X1900XT graphics card delivered from OC today.

I have just finished rebuilding the PC and was just about to put in the graphics card but it needs a 6 pin power connector. My PSU is a tagan TG480 U01 which was bought last year from OC. The guy on the phone told me it was compatible but it doesn't seam to have the 6 pin connector.

Is there any way of connecting to the card without updating the PSU? ie some sort of converter. My old graphics card (X800XT) only required a std 4 pin power connector.

Also I presume all new PSU come with these 6 pin connectors

Any help or comments would be appreciated

Cheers

Panic over just found this on the website

Akasa PCI Express 6 Pin to 4 Pin Power cable adaptor for PCI-E Graphics Cards (CB-018-AK)

I wish i'd know I needed one of these before I ordered. I wonder if I will be able to get hold of one locally tomorrow as I can't be without my PC waiting for one delivering!
