Missing 6 pin connector

Kerpshocker · Mar 8, 2014

So I bought a GTX 770 graphics card and it came with a molex to 8 pin power connector but I never got a 6 pin connector to plug into my graphics card. I thought this was supposed to come with the PSU but my PSU shows me what comes with it on the back and it only comes with 2 PCI-E cables but these cables went to the molex to 8 pin... What do I do?

Get two molex to 6+2 pin cables

Why do I need 2?

You can also get two of these;

Im not missing the molex tho.. Don't I just have to buy a 6 pin connector?

GPUs don't normally have cords between them and the motherboard, and it's generally better to use straight pci-e connectors from the psu, rather than using adapters from molex. If the psu doesn't provide enough pci-e connectors for your gpu(s), it might not provide enough power to them either.

If it will help I have an Asus 770 GTX and a Corsair HX650

Also, I am pretty sure that a 650W can power a machine that barely pushes 500W.

The HX650 is a modular power supply that comes with two 6+2-pin pci-express connectors, so you should be able to just use those. You don't need the molex to pci-express adapter at all with that psu.
