Power Supply to Nvidia Geforce with molex to 6pin adapters??

[Emiliololol]

I understand that this question has been answered many times but I cant seem to get across the proper forum that completely answers my question.

Aside from the introductions I had recently purchased a new Asus Nvidia Geforce 750ti and bought a cheap Logisys 480W PSU to try and support it. The psu came in and i had not realized i had the correct components. I had 2 molex pins to power a gpu.

My question is that is it safe to run a single or a dual molex adaper to a 6pin pcie to power my gpu. Ive been reading over forums and read multiple responses of it being okay to just use a single adapter. Only to use a dual adapter. And to just get a brand new psu with the components.


I am fine with returning the psu but not with burning down my house.Here are links to the Psu and the Gpu and the different adapters.

Return the PSU ASAP, it has to be one of the absolute worst PSUs currently sold. Most of the time it's a bad idea to use an adapter and this is definitely one of those times.

Most of the Logisys 480W units are pretty much the same on the inside. Which is the opposite of special. Even required things like a transient filter are absent, which can negatively affect other electrons on the power grid, or allow the PSU itself to be affected. The caps are really bad. The heatsinks are lousy. They're just really bad.

Eww, that picture should probably be labeled NSFW!

I have 3 Logists 480W units right next to me. The PS480D, PS480G, and PS480E12. They are all basically the same except the PS480E12 has better heat sinks and a larger 120mm fan opposed to the 80mm fan. I don't have tools to test anything but I tear these things down for fun. A common trend I notice are some trapped filter caps in the bundle of all those wires. They are going to get hot there with no airflow, and for what looks to be lacking a sufficient amount of filter caps in the first place really needs them to stay cool. If it at least had a transient filter it'd probably be fine for grandma's typical system that never probably goes past 70W. But I can't see it being used with any dedicated GPU.

Not to mention the false advertising I see on these units. The Logisys PS480G says it has dual fans. it only has one fan. It says it has a PCIe cable. It does not. It says it has 4 SATA cables. It only has 3. Not sure how they get away with this stuff.

That first one is another dreadful one. If you must buy from Fry's, the Antec VP450 and the Silverstone 450 are the least expensive PSUs I'd even want *touching* a PC with a GPU inside.
