gtx 560

[Villadssp]

Will a gtx 560 work with only one of the two pci-e 6-pin connectors plugged in?

[Zando_]

I highly doubt it. They wouldn't put two on unless it needed them. What PSU do you have?

[Billy_Mays]

It might but get a PSU with two 6 pins or get a molex to 6 pin adapter (~$10)

[Princess Luna]

No it won't but if you get a molex adapter and the PSU is 500w or higher than it'll work, I made a cheap budget system for e-sports to a cousin using an EVGA 430w 80plus Bronze and I used the molex adapter, it worked fine but that old video card does use very much energy and it did almost max out the PSU.

[Villadssp]

The psu is rated at 550w

[Villadssp]

so if i just get a molex to pci-e 6-pin adapter will it work?

Well how old is it. Becas a 5 year old psu that its the beste to start whit is note gone do 550 watt now a days

yes, but not recommended.

 

Why a GTX 560 if you dont mind my asking ?

i'm not really sure but it's called LC6550 V1.3 and is rated at 550w. The gtx 560 because i found it cheap.

the card does not actually draw 550watts probably closer to about 150. If the rest of the components arent too high power the adapter will work. connecting only one 6 pin will 99% not work.

Other than the GPU i have a q6600 and 6gb of ram.

if the psu is good then no problem the setup should run fine with the 560.

Thanks for the answer

This PSU isn't good I think.

You can get GTX 560 (Ti) for a cheap price at the moment. And they actually deliver some performance. I was actually thinking about buying a very cheap used GTX 560 Ti to use in my Ryzen system until new midrange cards are back in stock again. But the question is how long will this Fermi card last until it breaks.

I had a gtx 560 before and I'm gonna advise you on something.. these things get so hot.. like i'm playing fallout 4 on med at 720p and while it runs from 40-60.. it gets hot like it goes up to 100 degrees Celsius quite fast.. and its power hungry but i think you already know it, knowing it needs 2 6-pin connectors.. well i'm just saying haha

that is not normal. While it is true that these cards ran hot, that usually meant they dump a lot of heat into your case. 100 degrees is way too much they should not pass 85-90 at absolute max
