PCI-e Help pleasee!

[louie_8]

I just bought a new pc and im assembling it. As i come along the graphics card, there is no spot for me to insert the PCI-e cable? Where does it go. I have a power core red dragon radeon rx460 4gb gpu. Please help im a beginner!

If by power core you mean powercolor, you dont need a PCIe cable for it.
It draws all 75w it needs from the motherboard.

Hello... a Video card sometimes needs additional power from your Power supply... Low power ones will use the PCIe MB connection/slot voltage for it... typically <75 watts models.

Yep, it looks like that PowerColor X460 has a 6-pin PEG connector on the side. So you would need to use the PSU 6-pin connector for it.

If not, than maybe you don't have the Red Dragon model or i'm looking at the wrong one.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from louie_8 : "PCI-e? No spot to connect on graphics card please help!"

This is my first time building a computer and on my power color red dragon radeon rx460 4gb graphics card, theres no spot for the PCI-e cable to connect to. Where does it go?

If you mean for power to the PSU. if it doesnt have the connector, you'll have to buy another PSU

Hello... Typically a Boxed/retail video card will include a 4-pin Molex to PCIe power connector/adaptor if your Power supply does not have a PCIe output connector... you are basically tapping into the +12vdc output (yellow wires) of the power supply.

Im looking at this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131695 (Googled it from his post). The solder points are there, but there is no PCIe port.

Hello... Yes... it's typically to see the circuit boards with "generic" traces/layouts and the holes for a PCIe 6 or 8 pin traces... is this the OP's real question here? B /
