Supplied the WRONG 2x PCI-E adapter

[NightmareXX]

So my new system arrived and already I'm plagued with problems before I've even been able to get it turned on. This is one of them.

POV GTX 280 for £230 has been supplied with the wrong 2x 6pin PCI-E to 8pin adapter. The card wants a...

Top row - square, rounded, rounded, rounded
Bottom row - rounded, rounded, square, square

and I've been given...

Top row - square, rounded, rounded, square
Bottom row - rounded, square, square, rounded

What can/should I do? My PSU has enough juice for the card but doesn't have the 8pin PCI-E connection as at the time it was made, such connections weren't around.

Nope, the card came with a 2x molex to 6pin PCI-E and 2x 6pin PCI-E to 8pin PCI-E

Yewen or anyone else at OcUK, you don't have any going spare do you from previous builds? Or anyone else for that matter?

 

[NightmareXX]

I do have a 6pin spare but as the card comes with a 2x 6pin to 8pin, won't it need the extra juice?

Good thinking batman

I tried it with just 1 6pin but the light at the end of the card was red and it wouldn't boot

It's the 8pin PCI-E adapter that isn't correct

Read my original post. The problem is that the adapter doesn't fit in the GTX 280's 8pin slot as two of the pins aren't rounded.

Yea, I got the one on the right but the lovely people at OcUK sent me a proper one for free

Oh and remove that link, they're probably a competitor
