XFX 8800GTX power question.

[WillSpengler]

Just watched a review of the card. It says you need two 6 pin pci-e power connectors.

Im getting the Corsair HX 620 PSU. According to the corsair website it has two 8 pin pci-e power connectors.

Is there any neat way around this or am I going to have to get a couple of these rather messy looking things?

And If so, could I run two of them off one molex?

PSU-<molex><molex>-PCI-e 6-<molex><molex>-PCI-e 6-<molex>

?

Thanks!

The extra 2 pins are detachable, so they will fit your GTX 8800 without any problems

I've got the 750w and 520w Corsair.

Ah excellent !

Cheers!

I just had a look at the other power supplies, and it is clear in those pictures that it's detachable, but in the HX series pictures it looked solid. Thanks!

Ive got the HX620 too (modular), The PCI-e cables are attatched, I think you seen the 8pin connector which is attached and cannot be removed. I actually dont know what this cable is for - some motherboards I think?

Thats what they have listed in the HX series page.


Will this beast be ok running 1900x1200 fine in games etc? I've ordered up a new 24" monitor to replace my 17"
