Hi, I just recently upgraded my PSU to th OCZ500SXS StealthXStream 500-Watt Power Supply with hopes it would suffice for anything I would buy down the line
Well I was given a 9800gtx+ as a gift, and upon installing I saw my power supply only had one pci-e six pin connector cord.
Now On this one connector cord, there are several connectors, but I dont think it would be safe to use to connectors from the same cord, would it?
If not,Is there anyway this PSU will suffice for this card?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm using a 9800gtx (not the + version) with a Corsair vx450. My Corsair also has but one PCI-e connector, but I simply used the 2-pin molex adapter that came with the card.

 

Your card should have came with 2 of these:

Edit: Your rght, it does have two with it
But where do they hook up?
All the wires are taken, can it hook up inside the psu?
Otherwise theres nowhere else

I have an extra six pin connector, but its on the same wire as the other connector, so I figured its just there for ease of access if somethings closer or farther to the PSU
If i can use that one itd be great.
I can provide pictures if needed
