GPU HELP Requested!

[Jabboar]

I bought a GeForce GTX 750ti, when it arrived it came with only the graphics card, since it has a 6pin auxiliary socket I was assuming the lead would come with it, apparently not. Do I have to buy a separate 6pin auxiliary lead or have asus made a mistake? Currently the graphics card does not work however I have managed to install the drivers for it via the motherboard GPU, although the display is still missing when I plug my HDMI or VGA cable into the GPU. Also, is it the 6pin auxiliary lead I need or am I installing it wrong, please help!

You need a power supply that has a 6 pin PCIE power connection.

Most 750ti's don't need additional power but yours does.

The 6 pin aux power connector for the gfx card is part of the PSU's cable allotment. If your PSU doesn't have a 6 pin PCIe power cable, it may not be sufficient for the GTX 750 Ti. If it is however, you can get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/4-Pin-Molex-Female-Adapter-Length/dp/B007NMSUUA
...and connect it to a free 4 pin Molex connector.

Be sure your PSU is up to the task. The GTX 750 Ti may be only a 60W card at stock. But the aux power connector is added by the manufacturer for folks that want to OC a bunch. If you intend on OC'ing, the wattage will increase from the stock 60W TDP rating.
