first graphics card

[Bobskos]

my uncle is giving me a gtx 460 and it needs 2x 6 pin power connectors but i was planning on putting it in a dell prebuilt. is there a way to get 6 pin power from like sata power or something.

could you give me some suggestions on how to get the power connectors.  i might just have to get an adapter. 

 

 

 

i have a inspirion 660 and a inspirion 3671 

 

thanks

You can get Molex to PCIE adapters, and just plug it into available molex power.

Its possible. Advisable I can’t tell.  The 460 generally draws around 85w gaming but it can go as high as 115w. The question is does the machine’s PSU have the extra juice necessary to accommodate it safely.
