Power supply and video card

[joaquinjsb]

hi guys, i bought an Msi r9 270x Gaming edition but my power supply doesn't have the pci-e plug in so will it be sure if i use the molex 2x 4pin to 6pin? this is my psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153007(is old)

You could get some molex to 6 pin adapters for pretty cheap, but you would probably be better off getting a new power supply.

If you have psu that dosen't have a 6pin or 8 pin connector then you really should be considering getting a new psu because you don't want it to fail on you and take out your nice new gpu do you?

Hmm. Tricky.

You can always buy a new one that is efficient enough for cheap.

the only problem is that i bought the video card 2 days ago, should i buy an extra psu only for the vga in the meanwhile?

Your PSU is 480w, the recommended PSU output for that card is 500, I wouldn't bother with getting an adaptor, find a new 550w+ PSU.

I would go and use molex for now but buy a new psu the instant you can because every second you are using that old psu you are putting your entire pc at risk.

It will probably be enough wattage, but you would be better off just getting a new PSU

Yea, not gonna harm anything.

You should always check if your PSU can deliver said power before you buy a new GPU...
