I purchased this power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151109
and now I am installing 4 sapphire 7950 graphics cards. The problem is that I don't have enough pci/e connections on the power supply for 4 gpus because I am using 1 for the cpu. The graphics cards came with 2 cables that seem to fit with the peripheral 4 pin cables on the PS.
Main question: Can I hook up 3 graphics cards plugged into the pci/e on the PS and 1 graphics card into the peripheral slot on the PS? They are both run off 12V.
Second question: I bought some power riser cables. Can I plug these into the peripheral slot on the PS? Are these even necessary since the cards are connected to the PS already?
Thanks!
