Hello, I've bought RX 580 8gb as an upgrade over my radeon HD 6570
Found out a big problem which i should've done more research before buying.
The gpu requires 8 pin PCI-E and a reccommended 500W PSU while i have a really old 480W PSU which doesn't have any PCI-E cables.
I bought a dual molex to 8 pin connector for it but i'm very well aware that it might melt or causes PSU to pop which is why i'm posting this thread before trying them out.
I'm planning to buy a new PSU next month, nothing else. But i'm just wondering if it's safe to use with my current one for a month?
my PC :
Motherboard : ASRock (not sure what type)
CPU : Intel Core i5-3330 3.00GHz
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3
(Current) GPU : AMD Radeon HD 6570
PSU : Power Up 480W
Any advices and suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!
