BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Trying to install it now. Getting the message, "please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(s) for this graphics card." I'm using the 6 to 8 pin adapter. I've tried both the left and right side power slots on the card. Hmmmm.?

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 After doing a little reading, I'm thinking I need 2 adapters so I can put power into both spots. ???

phil bottle 9,766 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I think you need to ensure 150 watts are bring pulled through, 6 pins usually do 75 watts. The adapter should have done that for you but I'm not sure. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#peripheralSent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/5939-gpu-upgrade/page/3/#findComment-112194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hmm.... I'll try a few more things then I've got to hit the sack. Worked 1st and 3rd shift yesterday. Just got home and need some sleep. I'll get it figured out but all advice is welcome! Thanks again, Phil.

Via the FG App It should still work with a 500w PSU, unless your CPU is a beast and hogging all the power. I've whatsapped @Diddums in case he knows more on the subject!

phil bottle 9,766 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Seems two 8 pins is the way to go maybe but... Diddums gets back from Holland tomorrow and might have better advice, he said he'd take a look.

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Cool. I can pick up another 6 -> 8 pin adapter if I need to. I'll hold off on anything until Dave has a chance to give his thoughts as well. I'm going camping this weekend, so no rush. Thanks.

Diddums 4,346 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 All of those sockets need to be populated so grab another adapter. That PSU should be more than man enough for this load profile, if anything's gonna kill it, it'll be old age. It's what... 6 years old now?

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I ordered an adapter on Amazon. Should be here early next week. Hmmm... at least 6 years, maybe more. It's still awesome. I've added some fans, SSD, an extra HD, and a card reader. But everything is still rocking! I'm still incredibly grateful!
