Phrosen Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi. I want to buy a new graphic card (ASUS GTX-295), but my PSU don't have the needed cables. ASUS GTX-295 requires one 6-pin cable and one 8-pin cable. My PSU has only got two 6-pin cables. Can I work-around the problem in order to make it work, without having to buy a new PSU? I was thinking of a bad solution, but I don't know if it works: My two 6-pin + two 4-pin, converted into one 6-pin = three 6-pin Convert two 6-pin into one 8-pin = one 6-pin, one 8-pin Would this work? Will it cause any problems? (Give enough Volt/Watt/Ampere, whatever.) Are there even such converters available? If all else fails, what Corsair PSU should I get for this system? Preferably a modular one, with at least one 8-pin cable. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEAR6655 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 My HX620 has two 6+2 connectors (can be used as both 6 pin and 8 pin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phrosen Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 EDIT: I took a closer look at my PSU. It seems I have two 6+2 pin cables. -Is 6+2 the same as 8? Will it work to support an ASUS GTX-295? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
