Asus engtx275 what is it i don't get?

I bought the card yesterday. It has 2 pci-e external power connectors but I only got 1 molex-to-pci-e cable..
When I look around on the net it seems that Asus only provide 1 cable?? For two connectors...

It's probably because Asus assumes that you would have at least 1 PCI-E power connector from your power supply. You can buy another Molex to PCI-E converter to have two of them, but my suspicion is that your power supply may not be up to par in order to run it effectively. What PSU are you using?

+1 to telling us what PSU you have. A quality PSU that's up to the challenge of powering the GTX 275 will have at least two PCI-E power connectors. You shouldn't even need to use the adapter unless you're using a cheap PSU that isn't really meant to power that level of GPU in the first place.

It's a 460W cheap psu

It's called Ace 400u

Agree with shortstuff...
Tell us your PSU, detail...

Sounds like time to buy a real PSU unless you want an indoor fireworks show. Does the PSU even have any PCI-E connectors? What is the exact brand and model #?

 

[mixuz]

No.. No pci-e connectors. But thanks for your answers. I have to get a new psu to run this graphic card..

@140w needed for the card at load, depending on the rest of the PC's specs you might want to think about a new PSU.

Yep, time for a quality PSU. I highly doubt your PSU has enough Amps on the 12v rail to power the GPU even if you got another adapter. Where are you located? We could give some PSU suggestions if you give us a budget and what country you're located in.
