Question about 2x6 pin connectors

TanevskiOptimus · Dec 23, 2015

Ok so i got graphic card that requied 2x6pin but i got none on my PSU, i will go with molex converter but i got only one molex free, my question is can i get molex duplicator (http://e-loja.megabit.pt/161-large_default/cable-duplicator-voltage-molex-1-x-2.jpg) and put 6pins on each molex form that one free molex? It will work ?...and another question , i tried and put my card without 2x6pins but in properties it says that im on board card, it should be like that? Thx very much in advance.

If your PSU doesn't have the necessary 6 pin connectors for the card, it isn't big enough. What is the make/model of the PSU?

Its 400W PSU i think it will be enough for that :\

tried PSU calculator - 276W calculated with the gpu

TanevskiOptimus :

You can't go by total wattage. That is meaningless. The +12V rail determines the capability of the PSU. And cheap fake PSUs come with big total wattage numbers, but are not able to do the job. Worse, they will ruin the rest of the system when they fail. That's why I need to know the make/model of your PSU. Or post a pic of the name plate on the PSU.

TanevskiOptimus :

Yeah, I'm afraid that is one of those fake PSUs. With only a single +12v rail rated at a tiny 12 amp, it is realistically in the 200-250W category. That's why there are no 6 or 6+2 pin connectors. I doubt that card will even start using that PSU. And if it did, it would fry the PSU when it was under load. Plus, I've never even heard of Gembird.

So what should i get it ? , mean how much W, etc

clutchc · Dec 23, 2015

TanevskiOptimus :

That will depend on what you want to run off it. List your specs... CPU, GPU, motherboard.

Intel g3240 3.1Ghz
4Gb ram
HD 6870 SP
and 1 HDD

this good? http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/extreme/extreme-power-plus-500w/

clutchc · Dec 23, 2015

TanevskiOptimus :

No, it only has 1 x 6 pin and 2 x small 18 amp +12v rails. The HD 6870 is a 151W card and needs a good quality 500W. That one is not a good quality 500W PSU. Where can you shop? Amazon (US)? Newegg?
Plus with only 4 GB of system memory, you may be waiting for virtual memory (the HDD) sometimes.

I like this PSU, very good for it's price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012

pete_101 :

Yes, that is about the lowest price unit I'd feel comfortable recommending. Although Johnny Guru gave this one passing marks too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016
I've put 2 of these in budget builds and they are still going strong with decent size mid range cards.

Mhm, well newegg it is, and what should i looking for ? +12v with more than 25+ A and 2x6pin ?

Mr Kagouris · Dec 23, 2015

Just noting that I know Gembird and they basically sell a mess of miscellaneous junk.

TanevskiOptimus · Dec 23, 2015

And what about putting gpu without 2x6pins, default it will transfer me on board gpu right?

(the pci gpu fan is spinning)

TanevskiOptimus :

Not a good idea. Take your card out until you have a new PSU for it.
