Hi, i hv asus gtx 550 ti that need 6-pin connecter which my 450w psu doesn't have. Only hv 4-pin connecter and just bought 2x4-Pin to 6-pin... I want to ask which is better, connect 2 molex to 6pin or just connect 1 molex to 6pin for my gpu?

[strike]OP downvoting this answer doesn't help. The lack of a 6-pin PCIe power connector often indicates that you probably don't want to be running a card with a 6-pin on it. The answerer was right in saying so and I think most of would want to know what brand and model the PSU is.

I wouldn' t count on that PSU to power a 550 Ti. I've never heard of the company and can't really judge it, but realistically it's very likely to be some cheap PSU that dies at the sight of a GPU that requires any decent power. Try checking the label on the PSU particularly the 12V Wattage rating.
