PSU to second 6970 card problems

Post by bonoscot »

Guys ive just purchased a second 6970 card,my first card is plugged into the psu via the 2 black main cables(1x6 pin and 1 8xpin) ..............Now the problem i have is powering the second card.

The second card came with 1 x 6pin to molex and that is all....

Now i take it i need a second molex to 8 pin to complete the powering of the second card,is that right?


My main problem is i only have a couple of molex coming from my main psu,but i need 4 and i dont seem to have 4 molex from my psu.

My Psu however is a 1000wt and sufficient enough to power both cards,but i cant seem to work out how to power the second card.If only there was another 2 main black 8pin/6pin cables leaving my psu.


Can someone please help/explain this to me?

thanks

What model is your PSU? You

What model is your PSU? You must have an insane amount of hard drives; every 1000+watt PSU I've seen has enough molex/sata power cables to choke a horse. You can also buy sata to 6/8-pin adapters.
