In a tough position.
My GPU went out years back and to date, I am running a PC without a GPU.
One of my friends gave me a MSI GTX 580 Twinfrozer (N580GTX Lightning XE) and after only receiving it I noticed that it requires 2 x 8 Pin power connectors.
My PSU, however, is a Seasonic M12 II Bronze 620W and has 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 (6+2) pin PCI-E power cables.
Would just plugging in both be suffice?
What are my options?
Edit - I do have few Molex->6 pin converters laying around as well.
Second Edit - If by some miracle i find a 6-->8Pin converter, would it be workable with the current setup ?
- I have no way of acquiring a Molex ->8 pin or 6->8 pin converter.(Ordered 2 about 4 months ago, never arrived. Never will. Locally unavailable.)
- I have no way of acquiring a new PSU.
- I cannot afford any HW new because my entire family income is limited to 100$+- a month.
To put into perspective, I was sent a GPU (GTX 560) via registered post from USA (last year oct) and it never arrived. Everything gets stolen unless DHL or similar is used.
My Hardware are as follows -
Core i7 2600K (stock) on Asus P8Z68-VLX
8GB GSkill 1600Mhz Kit
1x 1 TB HDD 1x OCZ Agility 60GB SSD
CM - EVO212 Cooler
Razer Deathadder - Razer Megalodon Headset - Logitech Controller
Help. . . :s
