[civilization]

Hi i asked this qustion before this morning but i wanted to be more specific now that i found that an Asus model of it was on sale. Will the Asus Radeon R9 280 ( link: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9280DC2T3GD5/ ) Work with my 500w PSU? My PSU is an fsp 500-70ep. Specs: http://gyazo.com/a9b263fffbde22565047b2a95e0a8dc9 ( Image from google ) ( Ebay link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FSP500-70EP-FSP-Group-500w-Power-Supply-Unit-9PA5008000/131077352115?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D23775%26meid%3D8655895261632446304%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D10165%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D171209590879 )

yes, it will work aslong as the psu has atleast 1x6-pin and 1x8-pin pcie power connector.

A 500W would be excellent, however you will need more if you will be overclocking your CPU.

Hmm are those the ones you put into the graphics card? Because if so i only seem to have 2 6 pin ones... Or am i thinking of completely the wrong things? Do i need both the 8 and the 6 pin?

 

[Danbuscus25]

you need both a 6 pin and an 8 pin, so if you only have 2 6 pins, it will not work.

Hmm... I took a closer look and it seems like i have 1 6 pin connector ( Currently in my broke 660) And 1 extra 6 pin connector AND 1 last 2 pin connector? Can this be right? And can i use the 2 pin to get the 8 pin i need if i just plug it in to the side of the 6 pin in the card or something? maybe get some kind of adapter?

 

[Danbuscus25]

well, is it a 6+2 pin connector? does the 2-pin connect to the 6 pin at all?

 

[civilization]

I think it might be some kind of 2 pin connector atleast.. It looks just like the other 2 6 pins only that there is 2 holes and it is smaller

I will go check wait a minute or 2

 

[Danbuscus25]

well, it sounds like it is part of a 6+2 pin connector, and if it is, then your psu and graphics card will work.

[Danbuscus25]

yup, looks like a 6+2 pin connector, meaning it should work 😀

 

[civilization]

Thanks for the help! Should i just plug the 2 pin to the side of the 6 pin then?

 

[Danbuscus25]

yup.
