Andrei Z Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Alright, just bought a new vid card andrealised that my power supply does not have another cable for the PCI-E. My power supply does have 2 other 6 pin ports that should support another PCI-E cable and probably another for Molex or other, but I do not own any of them. Where to look for, so that I won't bust my power supply, or what alternatives do I have ? EkbergDOF, nataGomb, TristanSob and 20 others 23
HappyBuddhaman Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Newegg.com or FrozenCPU.com. I would check with the manufacturer of your power supply first. ZenDoom 1
Andrei Z Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Posted December 13, 2014 well, it's Thermaltake That's why I'm here
Tt Andy Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 Did you check your GPU box?, some manufactures provide adapters so u can change your Molex to PCI-E
Andrei Z Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Posted December 16, 2014 Gotta admit, I did not see them at first, but searched abit for them after reading something similar to what you just said. Indeed, the video card does supply 2 cables that transforms one molex into PCI-E, but it's not enough to power it up, because at the end of the molex cable there is a HDD, probably eating much of the power needed. It would've been much easier if thermaltake would've supplied the whole pack of cables or at least provide a way to procure them. I just bought some from a site in hong-kong....so, it's gonna be interesting.
