Hello,
I am planning of building a new PC with a Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X GPU. The issue I have is that this GPU requires two 8 pin connectors, whereas, the PSU that I currently have (FSP Epsilon 600W) has one 6 pin and one 2+6 pin connectors,
I understand that I can use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter but I'm unsure if it will fry (ruin) my new components. Another option to use a molex to 8 pin adapter but I think it may be too risky. Please can you enlighten me? specifically about the 6 to 8 pin adapter if its OK to use.
I understand that a good PSU is a vital component, however, I wanted to be 100% sure that my current one will work alteast for say 6 - 12 months. Will definitely look into upgrading to a better PSU in the future.
Appreciate your help.
