Problem with the video card cables

[Leirodov]

Hi everybody,

Do i need to plug all the four molex connectors of my video card (GTX 970 AMP! EXTREME CORE EDITION) to the PSU? Or 3 would be enough? Will i have problems using only 3 of them?

I am asking because one of the 4 molex connectors that comes with the PSU is being used to power up the fans of the Phantom 410.

Thank you.

Your PSU should have 2x8 or at least 1x8 and 1x6 pin for your GPU. Molex's are a last resort and you should use the cables from the PSU dedicated for graphics.
