i bought a gtx750ti because i thought it didnt need any extra power but i noticed the asus one i bought requires a 6pin and my power supply only has 4pin plugs. if i use a 4pin to 6pin adapter will this work. and is it possible that doing so could do any damage? i have Asus M11BB and it has only 350W of power. when i called asus they said i needed 750w for the card, i called again they said 1000W then i looked at the box and it said 400W, im extremely confused... please help

No, you're fine. They call that an OC, but it is very minimal bump. If you plan on OC'ing it more, then...

No, you're fine. They call that an OC, but it is very minimal bump. If you plan on OC'ing it more, then yes, you need a bigger PSU. I'm running this factory OC GTX 750 Ti on a Dell Optiplex SFF with a tiny 240W PSU: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5160#ov

thanks you very much. For future reference if the power supply for a card is not met would that cause any damage to anything?

It all depends. Normally (with a good quality PSU) the system will shut down or re-boot when the PSU can't maintain the voltage. With a cheap piece of crap PSU however, it may die a catastrophic death and take something else out with it. Or at worse, cause a fire.

I presume your Asus is a mini tower, right? If you want to take a pic of the nameplate on the side of the PSU and post it, I'll verify it for sure for you.
