[SOLVED] 450 watt Evga doesn't have a Pci-E Connector

[himwhynot]

A while back, I got a 450 watt evga when first building my computer. I was planning on upgrading my gpu and I couldn't find a cord for the pci-e. Should I buy my own? Will it fry my system? The manual mentions a pci-e cord but doesn't come with one.

The model is Evga B3 450 W 80+ Bronze

Its a modular unit, you sure it didn't have the PCI-E cable? Or can you verify from the ports on the psu side if any is labelled as PCI-E?

1 x 24 Pin ATX
1 x 8pin (4+4) EPS (CPU)
2 x 8pin (6+2) PCIE...Should have
6 x SATA

They're aren't any ports for the pci-e.

That PSU has 2 6+2 pin pci-e connectors. Since it's a modular unit check the cables that should have come with it. If you no longer have the cables you will need to buy cables that are compatible with it.

VGA is probably the label on the PSU.

EVGA labels it as VGA on that unit

PCIE\VGA cable goes here:

2 x 8pin (6+2) PCIE...Should have
6 x SATA
3 x Four-Pin Peripheral

Thanks guys! I just needed to make sure before I the bought cables.

If you have to buy the cable make sure it's compatible. A PSU's modular cables are not universal and using the wrong cable can be catastrophic.
