The Almighty Google failed me and I couldn't find the answer.
I have a EVEA Geforce 8800GTS 320mb card. My power supply is a 600 Watt ATX supply. It says it has 18A on the "+12V1" and 20A on the "+12V2". The power supply has two cables labeled 12V1 and 12V2, which plug into the PCI-E power connector on my card. I assume that it needs both 12V1 and 12V2 to add up to a total requirement of 26 amps, correct? The GTS card only has 1 connector, however. The card shipped with a y-adapter that connects to two molex cable ends and plugs into the card. Will this work? Will this give it the 26A it needs to work? I'm afraid I don't know alot about PSUs
