I am sorry there aren't any adapter like that. And I couldn't find a card equal to r9 280x with 2x6 molex connectors. They all require 6+8 molex connectors. Guess you should buy a better power supply or buy a little low tech graphic card then r9 280x.

so is there no way around having to upgrade the PSU? surly the psu is adaquit in the short run, question is though would 2x 6pins g-card cords can transform to somthin. I did see where 2 molex plugs had an adapter to make1 8pin plug however I think the psu may only have2 not 4 of the molex plugs

ok so I have found some adapters now question is would they be safe and work without a hitch? does anyone have any experience with this?

Can you sent me the links for those adapters. I find find some of them too but I think you need to buy two of them to work.

this appears to be the best one I think. and depeding on the card/manufacturer some need 1x 6pin and 1x 8pin and others need 2 of them

yes winterlord that pertectly fine to use...you might not be able to control the speed of the fans manualy through afterburner for example i think they always be on ''auto,, mode...the 2extra pins are usualy for the fans on the cooler...but it should be ok

goku1234567890 · Mar 28, 2014

Yeah they will work.

WINTERLORD · Mar 28, 2014

hmm well fan aint that big of a deal to me however I hope you can still change the voltage?

paitjsu sadff · Mar 28, 2014

well if im not mistaken i think those card have built in noob failsafe and they will not let you mess around with the voltage that much unless you flash the bios with a modified one and that would void the warranty of the card...
