Asus 6800GT Power

[Guest]

I've just got an Asus 6800GT card. I has two molex power connectors. The
instructions only mention connecting power to one of them. Is this
correct or should I be connnecting power to both? I installed it and am
running it with power to only one connector.

are you sure they havent shipped you an ultra by mistake, mixups arent as
uncommon as you might think. as far as i know 6800 ultras are the only
ones that have the 2 connectors, check what frequency it runs at

All the 6800GT's I've seen only have the one power connector, AFAIK only the
Ultra version has the 2 power connectors.

Very strange... you sure its a GT version and not the Ultra? , In any case if it
works okay with just the one I would think it will be ok. The couple of dozen or
so I've fitted soon let you know either by an onboard buzzer or a screen message
if the power lead is not connected.

There is a new 6 pin power connector for video cards. The card includes
an adapter that allows you to use two standard 4-pin hard drive
connectors instead. You need to plug in both 4-pin connectors.
