Zalman 750 for SLI

[jcorqian]

The PSU is not something I normally think about, as I have been going with a single 9800 GTX for awhile and planned to step up to the GTX280. However, I have decided that going SLI 9800's is the way to go. I am confident my PSU is good enough to run SLI, but it only came with a 6 pin and an 8 pin connector. Is there any way I can get more 6 pin connectors? I have some MOLE (or whatever its called) adapters, but I'd rather just get more pins.

I'm pretty sure the new card comes with a power adapter for molex (4-pins).

If your PSU is modular, you can call the manufacturer and buy more cables.

Hi there, I got the exact same PSU and GPU and I have the same issue.

So was it possible to hook up two 9800GTXs in Sli with this PSU?

There are short adapter cables from many online vendors.

Here's just what you need for only $2.95:

BSD - You should be okay with SLI

^ jonny thanks, but is that the right connector?

I'm looking for a cable that uses up a single PCIe slot/cable in the PSU, and splits it into 2xPCI-e 6 mins for the Graphics Card.

The cable referenced in my last post was for a single PCI-e 6 pin connector. The recommendation was based on the original post indicating that the psu only had one PCI-e 6 pin connector .

I just took a quick look at the photos and specifications for the psu. Since it is SLI certified it comes with a standard 6-pin PCI-e power cable and a 6+2 pin PCI-e power cable which can be used as either a 6-pin or 8-pin cable. It works just like a 20+4 pin motherboard power cable. You do not need another cable or a cable splitter to run in SLI mode. You are all set and ready to go.

My apologies for missing that.
