nvidia GeForce GTX 275 superclocked edition Help! (eVGA)

Anthonyx07 · 06-01-2009, 08:33 PM

Hi

Today I bought the nvidia GeForce GTX 275 superclocked edition (eVGA) and when I was just about finished installing it in my computer I realized that my power supply didn't have enough cables to connect to the Auxiliary cables (sorry if I don't know what all the cables are called. I'm new to this and I've never done it before. You will see what I mean in the pic below).

Is there some sort of an adapter I could buy to make this work or do I have to get a whole new power supply?

Thanks :)

Comp Specs:

Dell XPS 420
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39GHz
vista 32-bit
3 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD2600XT (hopefully soon to be the geforce GTX 275)

You can't power a gtx 275 with just a stock dell power supply. The card requires a quality 600w or higher with 26 amps on the 12v rail and to be 80+ certified. Even with an adapter that dell power supply will just burn out in a day or two.

Ok

Would it be possible for you to link me a power supply from the site below that would work with this card?

So If I bought that power supply would it come with the cables I need to plug into the card? (i think its two 6pin auxiliary cables)

Yes it would , It would also be powerful enough to actually power the card.

Just noticed, when I clicked on the link for the 650TX, that the 750TX is actually cheaper right now. It's in the other recommended ones below the 650. I picked up the 850 for almost the same price recently, though it's a weekly special for 150 at ncix. I must of got it from newegg.ca I guess. Good memory eh.
