Hi!

 

I have an offer to get Asus HD 6870 graphics card for really cheap price (http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/EAH6870_DC2DI2S1GD5/). Card is fully working, without any problems, I have tested it on sellers computer.

 

Problem is, that I have HD 7770 now, and it is not so power hungry and need only one PCI Ex 6pin connector.

 

My PSU is Chieftec iArena GPA-500S8 with two 12v rails (24A and 21A).

 

By this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913-5.html my PSU is Channel Well, that is quite good manufacturer from what I can read in web.

 

But PSU has only one PCI Ex 6pin connector, HD 6870 need two.

 

I have an adapter 2x4pin Molex to 6pin. Is it safe to use that. if PSU only has daisy chained Molex connectors???

not a good idea to use molex to 6 pin

 

they have a high chance to melt and catch fire

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
