Where to connect third graphics card?

[supergt]

Hi guys, I have a third graphics card sitting here that I want to use for mining, however I am not really sure how to power it.

As you can see in this picture: Hotlink

All 4 blue connectors are used up for my 2x 6 pin connectors for the existing 2 cards so where/how would I connect the final card?

the third is a 6950 so has 2x 6 pin to connect

Cheers

Unlikely that the PSU has enough juice for 3 cards.

Looks like your have to do some digging yourself and get a new psu

or a 2nd smaller one just to power the graphics card

that picture is a corsair hx1000! Thought it would easily handle 3 gpu's?

The Corsair HX1000W features six PCI-Express connectors, both 6-pin and 8-pin compatible, to power multiple high-end graphics cards.

Maybe this will help

Didnt you get loads of extra leads with your PSU so you can just plug more in if ya need um? My 1kw enermax psu came with plenty of spare leads, they expect people to using lots of graphics cards with big PSUs

Oh so they dont have to go into the blue connector slot? I can stick a 6 pin connector into the other black slots?

I also have a HX1000, two of the non-modular cables are 8/6 pin, have you checked there?

 

[supergt]

ah yes.. how stupid of me. Thanks for that. For future reference, say I wanted to add a fourth card, how would i power that? through molex to pci adapters?

 

[Orcvader]

No idea if it's exactly safe to use the black ports to molex then 6/8 pin. After all, the HX is two 500w PSUs stuck together instead of a true 1000w PSU... Googling around I can't seem to find some solid answers either as most of the quad setups are just two dual GPU cards instead four seperate GPUs.
