    Posted: 21 Nov 2008 at 1:56pm
I just bought a 9800 GX2 1GB card that requires 620W. I have a silverstone ST56F 560 W power supply.
 
I want to buy this power supply (750W corsair 750tx) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006&Tpk=750tx
 
The only problem is, my NEW card needs a 6 pin and 8 pin power (both at same time).
 
Does this power supply support the 9800 GX2? Or do the adapters come in the PNY 9800 GX2 box?
 
Am i getting the right power supply? Will this setup work?
 
 
Thanks a million in advance,
Joe

harleyman is incorrect.

20+4 works because it is 24 pin -_- it means you can use it as a 24 pin connector or disconnect the 4 extra pins to connect to a 20 pin mobo

whereas ones that list it as 24 pin means its a 24 pin where you can't disconnect pins to make it connect to mobos with a 20 pin connector.

skyR is correct, in a 20 + 4 setup, the 4 pin is optional thus you can do 20 or 24

Make sure you system was unpluged for more then a few minutes, make sure you ground yourself before you touch the pc parts.

Actually by any chance there's a quicker method to that?  Turn off the PSU unplug etc etc.  Then try turning it on.  It'll absorb the rest of what's leftover and nothing will be left right?

Thanks guys. The PSU will be here on monday (just checked) and my graphics card on tuesday.

Looks like i'll just use monday to get the PSU in and re wire everything. Installing the 9800gx2 is the easy part.

Thanks again

I installed the power supply neatly and everything works 100%!!! I made sure to leave 2 PCI-E 6+2 wires available for the 9800 GX2 mammoth that comes tomorrow. So far so good, thanks for the help to this point. Tomorrow is the easy part.
