Yet another power question

[Torquar]

So I bought one of those cheap XFX 8800 gtx's over the weekend with the intention of setting it up in Sli mode with my existing 8800 gtx, too good to miss.

When it comes to fitting it, I find I only have 2 pci 6-pin plugs.

I have a Tagan U-25 800w psu, it has 62a on the 12v rail. Do I need a new psu or is there some adapter I can use to get around this?

Thanks

I would just use two PCI Express 6-pin to 4-pin power adaptors and plug your standard PCI-E cables in each card then the adaptors to each card.

Doesn't the card only need 2 pci-e 6-pin plugs ?

He said he has two cards, 2x2 = 4.

Thought I was being stupid somewhere, I blame it on posting soon after waking up

Thanks guys, I had a couple of those 4 to 6 pin adaptors laying around and I'm all working now. Now I just need a 4pin female to 2 x 4 pin male molex as I dont have enough plugs to power my dvd drive .

Just use the molex convertors, I had 2 that came with my card
