Hello Everyone!
I have a HP 8100 Elite Full Tower
It's current specs are as follows:
Core i5 650 3.2 GHz
8 GB DDR3 1333 RAM
1x 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA 5.25'
1x 250 GB 5400 RPM SATA 2.5'
1x 320 GB 5400 RPM SATA 2.5'
A 320w HP Crap PSU
A "one and only" motherboard that uses 6 pin and 4pin as main power instead of 24 pin ATX Connector.
Now I was wanting to upgrade a graphics card.I was wanting to run an ASUS GTX 960 4GB LOL but the PSU had no 6pin.
Then I though of molex to 6pin.
It didn't have molex.
Then thought of 2x SATA Power to 6pin.
After doing some research I found that logically the 2x sata cannot give 120w.
It will only give upto 108w.
1 sata can give 54w so 2 make 108w.
The shopkeeper says no problem it will work but I doubt it.
I can also buy a GTX 750ti for half the price but also half the performance.
Now some say that GPUs usually don't reach their max tdp.Now i can't decide wether to risk using 2x sata to 6pin or play it safe with GTX 750ti.
