Graphics power supply question

[Reubenhero]

Hi,
I just got a msi AMD Radeon HD 6950 card with a Power supply requirement of two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors, but I forgot to check my current power supply to see if it had indeed two connectors to use. I wanted to know if there was some way to use the power connectors for other components as the second 6-pin power source.

My current power supply is a OCZ Technology 600 watt
Model No. OCZGXS600
s/n s7391200868

Thank you for your time and help,
Dave

Your PSU should be able to handle it and according to this has two PCIe connectors http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-gamexstream-600w-700w-power-supply-eol.html
It is possible to use an adapter from molex to PCIe power.

Thanks for the help, I just checked all the power supply cables again and found the 2nd PCIe 6-pin tangled with another cable hidden in one of the 5.25" drive bays. I feel dumb for not finding it by myself in the first place, but I see it now.

Thanks again rolli59,
Dave
