I received the XFX GeForce 8800 GTX Extreme 768MB today and went to install it but i've immediately been hit with an issue.

I'm using the Hiper Type R 580W Modular PSU but it only has one 6pin PCI-E power lead whereas the 8800 GTX requires two of these to power it!!!

Has anyone any ideas how to get round this issue?

Sorry, if this sort of issue has been posted before but i'm knacked off not being able to use my new graphics card.

Thanks
 
Thanks for the replies, i've had my Hiper PSU for a good while now without any problems and i'm well aware of its associated problems - I'm tempted to go and buy an adaptor for the time being.

My spec is:

- DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D

- AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego

- Corsair 2GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3

- Hiper Type R 580W

- Hazro 24"

So, the only thing that will look to pull the most power is the 8800GTX.

I will eventually change my PSU but i think only when i do a complete overhaul.
