Ok i have an average psu 500w +12v rail says 288W 24A.
and so i bought AMD Sapphire R9 270x toxic 2gb graphics card. Ok the problem is, the gpu needs 2 6pin power connector and my psu , to be true is so good, it has none... it has no pcie connector.. All i see is 2 4pin flat (so called molex) connector.
I saw on amazon there are 4pin to 6pin female pcie adaptor...
All im asking is that , can i use each of the 2 4 pin molex connector to convert it to pcie power connector so as to obtain 2 pcie connector for the gpu?
Will it be safe or is it time to upgrade myself along with a psu....
Any help will be praised
Thank you
 
Solution
500W PSU with a 24A 12V rail and no PSU-E connector. I would advice against even trying to boot the system with an R9 270X. Definitely change the PSU before using that video card.
