Hoggie Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hi guys I hope you can help. I have a m4a785td-v evo motherboard and just bought a xfx r7260x graphics card. The problem I have now is I cannot get power to the card,have done some research and now think the issue is I need a pci express powercable. What cable do I need? And where would I put it into my motherboard forpower?, the card needs a 6 pin. Thanks H PS running Windows 8.1 pro Quote
KenB Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Hoggie, You need something like this if you don't have a PCI 6 pin connection. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2462[/ATTACH] It uses 2 SATA connections from your PSU. There is a Molex version too if you have Molex connections. They cost around £5 If your OS is still XP you probably have Molex connections from your PSU. They look like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]2463[/ATTACH] Google ....pci 6 pin adapter Add SATA / Molex depending on what you need. You will need 2 spare connections for the adapter.

Hoggie Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]2467[/ATTACH] Hi, This is what I have, would I connect both? Quote
KenB Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hi, They are Molex connections ...as I thought. Yes ... you would need a Molex to pci 6 pin adapter. This would do it - click here You would need to make sure that the adapter would reach the Video Card. Are those cables tied in place ? Can they extend further into the case ? would I connect both? Yes - you need both. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
