Three molex available for 2 6-pin (GTX 560 Ti)

[mrtaufner]

Well, the problem is pretty much it.

I have a Coolbox 500-BASIC PSU (that's a 500W PSU) but it comes with very few power connections: 3 Molex and 2 SATA (no 6-pin came with the PSU).

This is just a temporary solution, a friend borrowed me his old 560 Ti (I have a GT 240 by now) and I'm trying to find out a way or workaround to connect the card.

I was expecting that 2 molex to 6-pin would make the trick, but I didn't realize that I was missing one molex for that.

Then I thought that a sata to 6-pin could make the trick. but I haven't found anything like that for real.

What do you guys think?

1| You're going to need your PSU to deliver 500W to the system if you want to drop in a GTX560Ti.

2| That unit you have will most probably output half the power your entire system needs with a GTX560Ti or at the worst blow up. It's happened to most people frequenting here and we have a PSU tier list to gauge the quality of a PSU.

3| One other glaring fact is that if the PSU lacks the connectors for the GPU you want to drop in or any upgrades for that matter, then you're staring at a PSU purchase since it wasn't meant to handle that kind of load/duty.
