Hey guys,

My R9 280x Toxic has finally arrived after a massive way and now I can't use it. It requires 2 8pin power cables however my PSU only has 1 6pin cable and a load of 4pins.

I live in Sheffield and want to get hold of a cable ASAP because I can't live without my PC. Can you give me a link to any shops in or close to sheffield that would have the necessary adapters (i.e. 4pin to 8pin cables) in store rather than just online.

Also, would it be possible to power the toxic with 6pins instead of 8's because I could get a 4pin to 6pin adapter easily.

Thanks,

Tom

n.b. my PSU is 750watts

No money as, as you may have noticed, I have just bought an R9 280x Toxic... It works fine, I just need some sort of adapter to make it work with the 8pin holes.

This isn't helpful. I do not have the kind of money necessary to buy a new PSU. Can you either help me with what I asked or ah heck off.

I realise this, however I am not planning on 'pushing it really hard' and this is only a short term solution. When I have the money I shall upgrade my PSU however as of now I don't have £50 to spend!
