i have the CX 750W PSU that only has 2 X 6 pin power connector can i use 1 6 pin with the adapter that comes with the card and the other on the card? i ask because the power adapter has a two 6 pin to one 8 pin setup.

Dont worry about it, tha card comes with all the adapters you need, i even used this card with a 600W PSU that came with the connectors just as you described

If your psu has 2 8 pinn connectors use them, you can use 2 connectors off the same line. But you can use one of the 6 to 8 pinn adapters and a 8 pinn off your psu if your psu only had one 8 pinn connector.

Yes- it has a 20 + 4 pin power connector. This is a decent power supply that runs a GTX550ti video card & lots of drives on my system. The power supply has plenty of connectors & is 80+ certified, meaning under load itprovides 80% efficiency.

If i remember correctly from when I build it, it has 1 8 pin and 1 6+2 connector..go to www.pcpartpicker.com and put all of the information in and it will tell you if everything is compatible and if you have enough power. It's what I used to buy parts for my computer and I could not be any happier.

No. This adapter is meant to take an 8-pin rail and convert it to a 6+2 rail to power graphics cards that only have 6-pin connectors. The 8-pin at the top of the Y is female, so you connect the 8-pin rail from the power supply there; then, use one or both 6+2 connectors on the graphics card.If any part of this is unclear, please tell me in a comment or reply, and I'll clarify.

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

Here's the power specs for this unit, with 744W available over the +12V supply, not to exceed the unit's max when combined with the other supplies.http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx-series-cx750m-modular-atx-power-supply-750-watt-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-psu

If I remember (motnths ago) it was a 20 pin with a 4 pin optional. I believe if you use the spare, you are limiting yourself to onboard GFX (it's a 300 watt so its pretty understandable)

Only one 6-pin. If you can afford a top gfx that requires an 8-pin connector, get a better psu... I've used 9800GT and 660 GTX with this without any issue. ps: I bought this psu for $40 and the current price is not reasonable. Look for a better model and better deal.

It all depends on the 750watt PSU you have. If you have a gold rated high performance name brand PSU it will probably handle it. You will need 4 PCI-E video card power connectors. (6 prong connectors for video cards). You will be pushing a 750w PSU to the max under 100% utilization. If you're just playing games or doing graphics/CAD work and you have a top notch 750 PSU you are probably okay. If you're bit mining and running full throttle 24/7 go for the 1000w PSU. A good indication is, what's the brand and rating of your PSU and does it have four pci-e power connectors. Do not try to use adapters to create more Pci-e power connectors - they fail under full load. It all depends on the 750watt PSU you have.

Most powersupplys have a 4 pin molex I'm not sure what 3 pin connection you have on your power supply. I left the fan on low (as a case fan) because I used it in a low power system

400W is the min required for the card as long as you are only going to run 1 and you have at least 1 6 pin pci supplementary power connector coming off the power supply. if there is no 6 pin pci supplementary power connector then the PSU is not compatible.

Hi Kenneth - Any 750W quality power supply will work well and the Corsair Professional Series 860W would be a great choice. You could also consider a more budget friendly choice of the Corsair Builder series CX750. Full disclosure - I work for AMD. Good luck! Pat

Yes,i connected mine,you just need one power connector with,6 pin on one end,8 pin on other end,i honestly can tell you that i have not tried running it without the power connector.

I have a 750W PSU, mainly because I plan on getting another one of these. I bought it on TigerDirect because Amazon couldn't ship it. This GPU is rather awesome. As far as I know, with one of these, I use about ~350W of the 750W PSU.

It should yes. The one I got was a 750w and it had multiple 6+2 PCI epress connectors. Just make sure u double check ur graphics card minimum and recommended power wattage. If you don't have enough power your card will not work

It requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin for power. So long as your PSU has that, you should be fine. A power supply that can't support it won't have those extra hookups.
