Question 2x molex to 8pin RX 580

[HeLLpRoxXx12]

Hi, i recently bought RX 580 MSI Armor, but it requires 8pin while my psu has 6pin only (1x).So my question is will 2x Molex to 8pin work till i buy PSU?.The thing is while testing the RX 580 on heaven benchmark, watts went to 120w max (Msi afterburner) so i thought this 8pin will be enough to get the card running but not gaming intense(till i buy PSU).

Current PSU:Gigabyte GE-R460-V1 (i think max continious output is 360w)
GPU:RX 580 8GB MSI Armor.
Mobo:Asus Asrock n68-VGS3(old yeah but not my main gaming pc)

After buying psu:

PSU:https://www.anhoch.com/product/43350/psu-350w-gembird-black-box-power
Mobo:Gigabyte h110m s2h

RX 580 minimum PSU recommendation is 500W.

Gigabyte GE-R460-V1 is essentially 350W PSU.

That Gembird unit is even worse than your current.

There's another one 450w the same psu but 100w plus, it has 8 pin pci.But the thing is i have G4560 which is 54w max (mostly 30w),so the Gpu has more than enough power.

I wouldn't trust RX 580 with some low quality PSU. Unfortunately Gembird is definition of low quality.
Get something decent instead - Seasonic S12II-520.

Thanks for the info, the budget tells me to buy frikin gembird lul

And what will your budget tell, after that crappy psu blows up and kills your pc and expensive gpu?

I have couple of blown up Gembird PSUs lying around myself.
Really not a good idea to use those.

Yeah, i am not going with the gembird.Currently i am running with the gigabte one with 2x molex 8pin and it works perfectly(hope).I am itching to buy this cooler master elite v3 500w.Is it good, i read that it is very poor psu.Thanks

Can't find any reviews, but at first glance I would guess it's not particularly great. Why are you itching to buy a PSU that you've read is very poor?

Cause in my country (like ebay site) i found one 20 euros: here's a link http://www.reklama5.mk/AdDetails?ad=3232783 look pretty good

Edit: The g4560 max 54w(never got that up)
GPU:rx 580 msi armor(150w at max)
1 ssd 1 hdd 7.2k.

I think this psu can handle them

Do not use molex-to-8-pin adapters, it's just asking for trouble.

Wait until you can afford a high quality power supply. While 500W+ is recommended for the RX 580, (which has a max of 185W, and NOT of 150W, the 570 maxes at 150W), you can get away with a 450W if it's something like, say, a Seasonic.

Do not take a chance on a low-quality unit, or with those adapters. You put your entire system at risk in doing that.

Spending a little more upfront on a quality unit might even save you money in the long run compared to continually replacing cheap, crappy units.

Okay, thanks for the help and making things clear to me
