My Power Supply has 1-6pin connector but I need 2-6pin connector

Bareq · Sep 24, 2016

Hey guys I'm getting an HD 6950 1gb and it requires 2-6pin but my power supply only has 1-6pin, in this case can i use a molex to power up the other 6pin?
My componets
Cpu: E8400
Mobo: Intel DG41TY
Power supply: SeaSonic SS-400ET Bronze 400W

yes you can use molex.
Keep in mind that with this GPU you are getting too close to the PSU potential.

Oh, is this the right Molex adapter to use ↓? and will there be an risk involved in doing this process?

n0ns3ns3 · Sep 24, 2016

there is no risk in using this adapter as long as your power supply can provide enough current.

by current you mean watts?

I appreciate your help but one lasting thing, is it possible that the power supply will provide extra power to the GPU that might cause harm to the component?

not really.
well not decent units.
PSU provide whatever components ask for. it is more like components pulling watts and not PSU pushing.

Normally for a 6950 you'd want a good 500 watt PSU, the SeaSonic only has 360 on the 12 volt rails, and it's a split rail 12 v. I'd want a better PSU

According to the cooler master power calculator it recommendeded me a little under 369w
