hi all , i recently got a xfx 8800gtx xxx and have a question about powering it correctly
the power supply i have is the SilverStone ST75F 750W Modular PSU.(http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?type=3&id=124&page=4&des c=silverstone_strider_750w_st75f_psu)
the booklet for the gfx card says it needs 2 separate 6 pin power cables ,the power supply only has one 6 pin to 6 pin cable included now i am unsure on what cables to use

do i just use one of the other pci express cables
this just seems strange considering the power supply is supposed to be 100%modular
thanks
 
Im not 100% sure but going on stuff i have read on this and other forums i beleive that you just use two different pcie connectors.If you use an adaptor it may be pulling too much power from the one line.
I would assume that the other pcie cables you mention would come from a diff place on the psu and attaching two different ones would even out the draw.
It may pay you to ask on the psu forum.
