Last minute finalization

Hi,

Just finishing off the build, and I am curious, the 6870 requires 2x6-pin connectors to power it

I decided on the CM gx 550. IT comes with 2x6+2 pin connectors, as that was all the build required.

But if a 6+2 pin connectors only give 75w power, how does the supply provide more power to the card as it becomes more loaded if the only power that's going to the card would be 150W?

I feel like a total noob but yeh, trying to make sure nothing goes wrong.

thanks in advance
