So I just got an HIS 6950, the quick start guide isn't really helping with this problem at all.

So my PSU is 800 watts, my old card was a GTS 250, which had ONE of these 6 pin plugs plugged into it, however I found a second one bundled up to the side. (I got my computer from Cyberpowerpc)

I'm assuming I use both of these to power the 6950? It also came with two dual MOLEX to 6 pin adaptors but I don't think I need to use them?

You need 2-6pin connters for the 6950.

I have to warn you about Cyberpower,i got a PC from them too.They water cooling system they use is made by Asetek and it's a rip off of Corsair's H50.It's almost the same as the Stock Heatsink so be careful if you O.C.
 


ya got it backwards..... Corsair doesn't make the H50.....Asetek does....they make both the H50 and H70 for Corsair and the 620 for Antec

Neither particularly great performers and will typically come up short by about 5C compared to the best air coolers .

o really? i didn't know that.I knew that Asetek makes 3 versions os the liquid cooling(510/550/570).But when the Asetek and Corsair LC performs together it's always the Corsair that performs better even tho their the same model.I'm guessing Cyberpower uses the 510LC from Asetek in all their system,which is why it's not much better than the stock cooler.
