GTX 260 ASUS - install question

Yes, both connectors must be used, those responsible for some of those manuals should have their feet tickled with a feather until they say sorry.

Also...what I love is they present the card as something you can tweek and overclock but don't give you indepth info on the card. I guess thats deniably if someone bones the card.

ON a side note....
never try to build a PC after midnight, it won't start...haha, never does. I took everything out this morning and just put it back together one peice at a time and it runs wonderfully now ...so typical

Again, thanks for the clarification. I was feeling uneasy about that much power going to the card as a single configuration, but if it needs it, it needs it.

So both power connectors on the card need to be hooked up to the PSU? Even though just one 6-pin power connector cable (with connectors for two PSU cables) was included with the card?

If that's the case, it's nothing short of brillant on the part of the supplier. I don't have a spare cable lying around.

It is certainly not working right now with just one connected. Depending on which connector I hook my one cable up to, I get the fan going or not. No video in either case.

Grateful for any advice. Cheers,

sounds like you need a newer PSU, most of the current set of PSU's modular or otherwise come with PCIE power connectors as standard, although one point is the one I have only has one PCIE, so I was lucky they supplied a molex to PCIE adapter with the card ( 2 x 4 pin molex to 1 x 6 pin PCIE) but you can find ones with the required 2 PCIE outs.
