PNY ... Im raging right now!

Gamerman09 · 05-07-2009, 08:14 PM

I just bought my PNY 9800gt 1gb 256-bit from new egg. Its pci-e so it also requires those power supply plugins from the card. And the short of it is the cord is too short by about an inch to connect. I just got it today and I was hyped to start playing with it. Any suggestions?

What?

What power supply are you using that the 6 pin pci-e cord is too short? Good power supplies have extra long cables to avoid such from happening.

the link i gave you was a pci-e extension, thats what you wanted right?

Yes emoman I have a backup power supply in case its new. But the one in there is a pain to take out because it goes in and under metal slides. I will try though.

Also no thats not what Im looking for, it has a 6-pin and two 4 pin connecerter the thinner longer ones to the power supply.
