Hey there, my psu has no 6 pin connector for my graphics card (r7 360). It is 450W and I was thinking of buying a cable like this https://gyazo.com/0f85b0a950382290510e81cfaef50ae4
I've got a g1820 cpu, hdd wd blue 500gb and a h97 mobo... will the psu be able to hold this system with the r7 360 if I plug it in the connector I showed above?
connection of psu : 1x 20/24pin, 1x CPU 4pin, 1x Floppy Power, 2x Molex, 2x SATA
output power: +3.3V - 22A, +5V - 15A, +12V1 - 14A, +12V2 - 16A, -12V - 0.3A, +5VSB - 2.5A

Thanks in advance

The thing is, I don't really understand which the power provided by the SATA1/2 is

 


This says you have two !2V rails. 12V is all you care.

Hopefully, your connectors are labeled which belongs to 12V1 and which belong to 12V2. You are attempting to draw no more than 14A from 12V1, and no more than 16A from 12V2.

One way to do it is, you know what each components of your PC exactly takes, good luck with that.

A second way to do it is, hook up what you think it should be, then hook up a volt meter first to the 12V1 rail, then to the 12V2 rail. If any of those shows a large drop in voltage when you are pushing things, say to under 12 volts, then that rail is being overtaxed and you should move some load from the overtaxed rail to the other, hopefully not overtaxed rail.

Sorry about all the terminologies but that's how we power techs talk.
 


The SATA 6 pin connector is rated 75 watts .
The molex has a theoretical maximum of about double that , but less in practice but still way more than 75 watts
That is the cable you are looking for to power a graphics card .

The one in your original pic powers a SATA hard drive from a a 6 pin . It cant power a graphics card
