Why is my GPU fan weak?

[fajardokier]

I got ati hd 5670 that requires a 6 pin PCI e (extra power) but my PSU doesn't have one and there is no free 6 pin to molex in my GPU.. anyways... My psu is powerlogic atx 550 watts that doesn't have a 6 pin that means if a PSU doesn't have a 6 pin PCI E it means its a weak PSU to run the GPU that requires one.

I bought my PSU 2006 LOL D

I created a 6 pin I mean I buy a 6 copper wire and put it to the molex (Long story) But it WORKS!!
Before If I din't put a connector to the molex it does not start and no monitor picture but when I came up with this idea it works fine except for the gpu fan.

NOW!! about the GPU fan.. It still works.. But when I manually set the Fan to 20% it turns off (what I mean by turn off is the GPU fan stops spinning but it still spin in a very slow RPM maybe the snail is faster though) and My 100% manual fan is like 70% only..

So My REAL QUESTION IS THIS ONE:
What's the problem? Is it the Whole GPU OR MY PSU?

Thanks!!!

I'm guessing your PSU But maybe that's just me...

yes certainly PSU is the problem, buy another PSU that already have those pci 6+2 pins on it.
