ArthurTheGrey · Sep 24, 2014

hello,
I am upgradeing may GeForce 9600 GT that uses 1x6-pin PCI-E to GeForce GTX 275 that uses 2x6-pin PCI-E. Is there any kind of adapter or something, or I need to change PSU?
the new GPU is spare from my friend so i wouldn't be happy to buy new PSU.
I would wery appreciate your help.

Sorry about my bad english! It is not my native language!

what PSU do you have now? Normally if it doesn't have to cables you need you should upgrade it. Some cards do come with a 2 molex to 6pin adapter but those are a last resort kinda thing.

Your old GPU needed 96 W. THe new one needs 220W. Each 6-pin on the PSU can deliver 75W. THe PCI slot delivers another 75W. You cannot simply and safely split the 6-pin into 2x 6-pin.

You may be able to find a Molex to 6-pin adapter.

Provided your PSU can deliver the additional 12oW, then you can do that. Otherwise you should buy a new PSU.

Molex to 6 pin PCIE adapter is what you need.

Need two molex cables coming from PSU.

We need to know more about the PSU in question before suggesting a course of action, if it is a 300watt using molex to 6-pin would be a even worse idea than normally(usually a bad idea) and you could fry something.

I have FSP350-60APN PSU.

You will need a power supply upgrade m, that PSU isn't enough power for the 275.
