Sata to Molex To 6Pin

skuhl88 · Jan 19, 2016

Hi there,

I just purchased an R9 380 4GB GPU and am looking to hook it up to my system. I have a 600W ATX PSU with one free Molex & 4 Pin duel cable and one free sata & sata duel cable. Could I get by with using a Sata to Molex adapter and then Molex to 6pin? I need 2 6x2 pin lines of power for the gpu. Thanks!

What is the brand and model of the power supply? Chances are pretty good you'd want to replace it to ensure your system is stable.

Thanks for checking in! I think it is an Xtreme Gear 600W ATX Power Supply from www.buyx9.com. Maybe some sort of off brand?

I took a pic of the PSU which can be seen at http://imgur.com/a/Ppx7c

skuhl88 :

you need to get a proper power supply with the pcie cables you need

550w or better, tier 1 or 2 power supply from this list:

adapters are not recommended with such bottom tier units as the one you currently have

I'm guessing it's a Cyberpower "gaming" PC? That power supply is bad, you don't want to have it powering a pricey video card. Check on the models in the link above and replace it.

Thank you guys for your responses! I am thinking of getting this PSU from Amazon (Looks like it is on the Teir One list):

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD, 750W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 220-G2-0750-XR

Do you guys know if this PSU has the right cable to power my ATX MB? In addition to the 24 pin connector, I need an ATX 12+ connector, which is a four pin cable, also nicknamed P4.

Thanks!

it has 8-pin that can split into 4+4, you plug whichever 4-pin you want into the mobo 4-pin header

AWESOME.

Pulling the trigger on this PSU. Thanks again for the quick responses. Finally, would 750W be fine for the next couple of years if I don't overclock and don't crossfire? What If I want to upgrade GPU's in the future, would this 750W still suffice?
