I have a P5QLPRO motherboard and just obtained a Gforce 8800 Gt graphics card. When I installed and turned the computer on I heard a loud whistling sound and removed it. After further research online it said it didn't have enough power and that was the reason for the sound. I found there is a 6 pin plug in to the card for power. What should the other end of the 6 pin male be or what is the specific cord that I need to buy? Thank you for helping.

Thank you maxalge. It currently does not have one. The watts is 400 and I wasn't sure if a cable like a SATA 15 pin to 6 pin would work or a way I could connect to the current motherboard or tie into the other cables like a splitter into the current power supply or if that would even work.
If it will please let me know. Other than that it sounds like I need to get a new power supply that has the 6 pin cable unless there is another solution I could try.
