Radeon HD5830 power querie.

[hedloc]

Hello,
I've a coolermaster 430 elite case and a radeon hd5830 graphic card.
The card requires 2x6pin from the psu to power it, apparently
My psu which came with the case has only one 6pin, labelled pci-e.
Now with the card came 2x 3to6 pin 'adapters', but the psu has 4pin!!
Can i run the card with the 'adapter' sticking the 3/6pin into a 4pin from the psu?
Hope that makes sense, cheers

You connect the "3 pin connectors", as you refer to them, to molex connectors from the PSU:

You're welcome.

You only need to use 1 adapter.

Use the 6 pin PCI-E connector direct from the PSU for the second connector.
