Hi there - sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm struggling to connect a gtx460 card to my power supply. I just bought a new pc and the graphics card seperately. I've got the card into the PCI slot fine, but the only spare connector coming out of my PSU is this one:
From the poorly written installation guide that came with the card it seems that the card needs to be connected to a 6-pin or 8-pin connector coming from the PSU. I'm therefore guessing that the only spare connector I have (in the photo) isn't sufficient. The only cable the graphics card came with was this one:
I can connect the black end to the graphics card and one of the white ends to my spare connector, but it seems from the info that both white ends need to be connected to the PSU, but obviously I only have one spare connection to my PSU. Therefore, would it be risky to just connect it to one 4-pin connector, or do I need to buy a new PSU with more connectors (or maybe is there some kind of adapter I can connect to the 4-pin to double it? Any ideas or advice greatfully accepted!
