Quick question on what power supply cables I need to connect to a new build computer am doing.
Specification for r9 290 at http://www.amd.com/uk/products/desktop/graphics/r9/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-r9-series.aspx#5 vaguely say that both are needed:
1 x 6-pin + 1 x 8-pin
The gpu is mounted on the mobo directly so must be taking out some power from there since the fan for gpu is working.
I tried just the 6 pin cable from my PSU and gave it a start, the downstairs circuit breaker tripped. So am cauious now as to what power supply cables I need to plug in to a gpu which is mounted on the mobo.
Hardware I am using:
1. Mobo: ASRock 990FX Extreme4 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/)
2. CPU: AMD Sempron 145 Single-Core. (Its listed as compatible on the mobo cpu support list: SDX145HBK13GM)
3. Memory: TeamGroup Elite 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single Channel Module (TED34GM1333C901)
4. Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. (Attached the monitor and this card with a hdmi cable for display to work. mounted directly on the mobo.)
5. 16GB usb 2.0 drive to boot/install ubuntu.
6. PSU: BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P10 1200W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply (The only connection I have done between the PSU and mobo is the 24 pin connection and the 8pin CPU power supply)
BTW there is no display as of now and I get d6 Dr. debug error code on the mobo, hence trying to sort out the power supply requirements for the gpu.
thx.

But the first thing I always ask is: Is it the circuit breaker (overload) or the residual-current circuit breaker? (ground fault/earth leak)
