Vaporx r9 280x with seasonic s12 ii psu?

Max McCarthy · Aug 8, 2015

I've ordered an r9 280x (the sapphire vaporx version). I've got a seasonic s12 ii power supply (620 watts). The card requires Two eight pin pcie wires. I've got one 6 pin and one 6+2 pin pcie lead from my psu. Would I be fine using the one 8 pin from my psu along with a molex adapter? Thanks

Ideally you would use 2 molex to 8 pin.
EDIT it looks like it comes with the 2 molex to 8 pin.

Is there any benefit to using 2 adapters?

It's preferable not to use any adapters.

Using one of these is better than the dual-Molex to PCI-E adapter:

Will an adapter kill my GPU?

Max McCarthy :

If they were killing GPUs then no graphics card manufacturer would ever include them in their retail packages.

Okay! 6 pin to 8 pin it is! Thank you for the advice!

I don't use 'em, but the card comes with 2 x 2xMolex to 8-pin.

It's a great card. Runs cool and quiet, and can take a small OC.
