Will 7770 work in pcie port

[jaysingkar]

willl hd 7770 work on pciE expansion slot?
i have foxconn 45gmx mother board.
please help.........

 

[cool07ist]

is it pciex16 slot?? and also you must have quality 450w psu like antec,corsair ect. with at least one 6pin pci-e power connector.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Yes it has http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000374

But i think it's a 1.0 version so no way of telling the 7770 works or not. It probably will, but there is a small change there is a compatibility issue.

Like cool07ist says ; you also need a good psu with a power connector.

 

[jaysingkar]

thanks for replies....
I'm have atx 450w power supply .
But i want to ask if graphics card itself need 450 power supply...

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

No, it's the advised power for your whole system including the gpu.

Does that psu have a pcie power connector ? http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http://static.erodov.com/reviews/guide/pci-e-connector/pci-e-power-connector-2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.erodov.com/forums/make-pci-e-power-connector-molex-connector/16270.html&h=296&w=399&sz=91&tbnid=LcbZJ5lZ5kaK_M:&tbnh=105&tbnw=141&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dpcie%2Bpower%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=pcie+power&usg=__Akn6rJzIHUbdFMcFaYVWvdy_TlQ=&docid=SM9whA3lFJEgPM&sa=X&ei=tnhcUMmQH-Wa0QX--YDYBA&ved=0CCgQ9QEwAA&dur=384

 

[jaysingkar]

no.
My power supply doesn't have that type of pin and not even my motherboard has the socket to connect it

 

[coozie7]

That connector (6 pin PCI-E) is used to provide extra power for the graphics card, it does not plug into the motherboard but into a connector built into the card.
Are you SURE the powersupply does not have that type of 6 pin connector? Some have a 6+2 or even an 8-pin connector.
Take a look here, the PCI-E connectors are at the bottom of the first block of photographs.

Love that Hurricane btw.

 

[jaysingkar]

oh
Thanks for information..
Can't i convert any other type of pin into pcie pin
My psu has 4 empty pins of different types available

 

[coozie7]

@ jaysingkar: Yes, you can use a molex-to-PCI-E converter, it's the third from bottom here:

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html

As far s I know all current cards have these converters supplied with them as part of the package.
Normally it's not a good idea to use them but the 7770 will only draw a small amout of extra power so it'll be fine.
But, I am a little concerned: If the powewrsupply is so old it lacks a PCI-E connector it may not be suitable for your needs. Please supply us with the exact make and model of powersupply you have so we can be certain.

@robjordy: Surprised you recognised it 😉 Can't help but feel the poor hurricane does not get the recognition it, and its pilots, deserve-Just my little bit of respect for them.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Yep, always Spitfire ( great plane to ). The Hurricane did maybe even more for England ( and us )

Had a model as kid. ( and a Spit, a Fokke Wulff, some English and American bombers and a Me262, most beautiful plane ever )

 

[coozie7]

^ He, He! Has to be a toss-up between the Mitchell (Mk 1 to 9) Spit and the Me262. I'd vote for the Spit, but then, being English I'm a little biased .

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Being right in the middle between you and those Germans my point of view is better ; ME262 ! :lol:

Though the spit was way better ( maybe slower but still better ) the shark like 262 is beauty in perfection.

And thats all i gonna say about that 😀

 

[coozie7]

Then, my friend, I shall (gentle bow) agree to disagree .

Back on topic, I'm still a little concerned about the powersupply, so, Jaysingkar, can you please provide us with its eca make and model?

 

[jaysingkar]

I checkd my psu and i don't have both type of pins.........
I think have to buy new one.....
can you suggest me any motherboard having pciE 3.0 slot and supporting intel E2180 processor and a good psu having value for money

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

You don't have this one free ? ; http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http://forums.techguy.org/attachments/56596d1117309503/molex1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/366315-solved-second-case-fan.html&h=480&w=640&sz=23&tbnid=Lrzw2JDieg01iM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=120&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmolex%2Bplug%2Bpic%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=molex+plug+pic&usg=__0k5aFa01LxO8L-77pvyJnmWCcCQ=&docid=yb1eO3cVJgXHlM&sa=X&ei=Pr1cUMjcK-bX0QXBqYHgDg&ved=0CC8Q9QEwAA&dur=4063

You can use a splitter than but i'm not sure if it still stays safe.

Can't tell you about a good mobo, don't know about that, maybe Coozie7.

Good psu's ; Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, XFX.

 

[coozie7]

@ jaysingkar: There is no motherboard that uses the LGA 775 socket (for the CPU) and has a PCI-E 3.0 slot for the graphics card that I know of.
I would suggest you use the HD7750 instead, it's less powerful than the HD7770 but it does not need an extra power lead.
