Powering Graphics Card

[Kenna]

HI there  I got a new MSI Rx 580, It has a 6 pin power connector, However I only have a four pin one at my disposal.

Would I still be able to power the Card with only the four pin.

What would happen if I plugged  it in, could it damaged the Card.

My PSU is Cx430m.

do you have a connector with 6 pins also with 2 extra pins? you could use that instead

The Corsair CX430m is a modular power supply and should have come with a variety of cables.  If the cable you need is not in the package, drop Corsair a note and see if you can't get them to send you the cable you need.  I purchased a Corsair RM1000X about two months ago and it came with a truck load of cables.

I found this cable lying around will it do?

Probably not, it seems to be an extension so u wouldnt be able to connect to the PSU

This is probably gonna sound Wack, but one of my GPU's has a unused 2 pin pcie cable. Can I  then use my 6 pin pcie cable and tap into this unused 2 pin one, or will it fry my GPU?

I read the posts but I am a bit confused. How is it that you only have a 4-pin PCIe cable? Can you attach a picture of the connectors that you intend to use on your PSU?

 

PS: Do not try to run the card with anything other than a PCIe connector cable, because although something else might fit, the voltages running through the cables are different and can fry your card.
