Can I connect my asus 7770 with another mother board that does not have a 6-pin?



I have my psu connected with another computer which is 750 watts, my other computer has a power supply of 250 watts with no 6-pins. I want to connect my asus 7770 with the 250 watts on the mother board, but I cant because there is no 6-pin, can I just use my other 6-pin connecters from other psu 750 watt at the same tim to pwer it up?

Replace the 250 watt PSU with something more modern in your other computer.

A relatively inexpensive 380W Antec Earthwatts would be sufficient to power your system with a HD7770 in it.

No you do not want to connect the power supply of one computer to a part of another computer.

Say your computer is computer A and the other compuer with 750 watt psu is computer B. You turn off A but B is still sending power to the card and your motherboard is not going to like that. Turn off B with A on and now you have a no video and are going to cause A to crash. All of this does not even start to get into stability problems of your system. Not to mention the hazzards of haviing to have both cases open to do this.

Dont be cheap, just buy a proper PSU from a decent brand (never go cheap on the part that can destroy all the other parts of your computer).
