HD 7790 power

[Konan tato]

Hello guys i recently bought an hd 7790 but sadly my psu is not enough to power the whole pc . The question is I have another psu which is 350 watt if I plug the gpu in my pcie and the six pin connector in the other psu will it work? My specs: fx 6300 , 4gb ram, 450 watt main psu , hd 7790

That's interesting. It should work, don't see why not, never tried so don't take my word for it.

I dont see how the card could care where the power source is coming from

Make sure to take picture for ghetto-rigging bragging rights

It should work. But like minerva said don't take our word for it nobody tried that.

Look around and it isn't recommended but it has been done...http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/324444-28-multiple

Alternatively, you can invest in cheap mod to make work...http://www.extremetech.com/computing/91808-add2psu-how-to-combine-multiple-power-supplies-in-a-single-computer
