Can someone please help me find a 6 pin to duel 8 pin adapter? Preferably from the United Kingdom.

 

Thanks ~ Matt.

 

Not sure its possible

 

You could get a 6 pin to 8pin

and molex to 8 pin

This doesn't seem safe. If you've used all your connectors on your PSU, then I would recommend getting a better PSU.

I have a 500W power supply to power a Overclocked 780ti, I know it sounds crazy but I made a post on this forum and a moderator replied he did the same and it worked. My power supply only came with 1 6 Pin connector, I have many molex connectors. I just thought it would be easier to use 1 connector.

I dont think a 6 pin can provide enough power as they are only rated for a certain wattage (think its like 75 or something cant remember)

 

You will need additional power so either need to change PSU or get a molex to 8 pin

 

(I think)

Should I get 2 molex adapters then?

It would be much easier to just get a few molex to 8 pin adapters. Though the graphics card may run on a six pin, in the long run it just isn't safe.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

I have

3x molex connectors

1x 6 pin

2x Sata 

 

I would get a 6 pin to 8pin and a molex to 8 pin (because you will need 2x molex per 8 pin) 

 

What PSU is this? it doesnt sound particularly high end

 

Also bear in mind, that a 780ti is rated for around 250 watts so make sure you are not asking too much of the PSU 

 

It should be fine though

What is the PSU?

Cooler Master 500W

 

Ac Input 220-240V 7A 50Hz

 

 

DC Ouput      +3.3V     +5V      +12V1    +12V2     -12        +5VSB

                          22A       20A       20A         20A        0.8A       2.5A

Max Output     130W                 360W                     9.6W     12.5W

 

Literally that was everything.

I can't afford it, I just spent £300 on the graphics card. Hahaha I thought it was the manufacture number but I found it it was the model, it is the...
