I have gotten hold of a Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum OC, that may or may not work. Now I'm not that bothered if it is not working. I just wanna make sure that I have done all I can before I move on. The only thing that is now on my mind is that the card may not have the power to turn on. I have two 2-molex to 6pin adapters but they both only have 5 connectors, like this:
OOO OOO Black Brown Black
OXO OXO Yellow Yellow
I have a 450w PSU (minimum for this card), now the manual suggests that I use a 6 pin adapter with a 6pin that comes with my PSU (sadly I do not have one). I had taken the card to two pc repair shops. I explained about the power and asked if they could test it on a rig with the suggested set up. Sadly both places just used my adapters and did not do what I asked of them,
.
The best way to think of it is like this. If the card is working 100%, would the 6pin adapters I'm using be the reason for it not turning on?
