Treebeard1337 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Alright so im on my laptop right now, and im in the process of moving around my hard drives to get this long butt x1900xt to fit. the problem im having is i cant seam to find the extra power the card needs to run. I cant find that 6 prong connector from the power supply. im running a Aspire ATX 520w. i cant seam to find the 6 prong power connector and i cant find any manuals on this power supply to let me know if it has the proper connectors or not. And i dont have the manual with me here because it was my friends power supply that he switched out for mine before i left for campus and he didnt give me the manual for it. Anyone know what I should do? info ASAP would be greatly apreciated, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebeard1337 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 found the power supply info here: http://aspireusa.net/product.php?pid=21&xc...bfaf313d8074c43 does this have the adapter the card needs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumixam Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Any SLI Ready PSU should work, that psu will not work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael13 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Also the video card should have come with a molex 4 pin to pci-e 6 pin converter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp1019 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 He's right, it won't work. # 1 x Main Power (20 + 4 pin) # 1 x AUX Power # 1 x 12V (P4) # 2 x SATA # 8 x Peripheral # 2 x Floppy Get you an OCZ Powerstream or something, just make sure it has a PCIe connector because that Aspire doesn't have one.

Guest Dynamic Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Aspire is not a good PSU to begin with in the first place, don't get confused in the power/peak and rail amps bogus info. Get yourself a strong good brand PSU around 600w since you're running alot of things unless you want to run into problems. Shoot for the OCZ Powerstream 600 if you have the money....

Treebeard1337 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 s there any way to adapt one of the fan cabels to fit the port? or do i need a whole new power supply? will the card run without the extra power? I didnt see any power adapters that came with the card, then again i got an OEM off newegg if that means anything, but i thought those cam with everything a retail did except some bonus stuff that wasent essential Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Theres no way its gona run without the power connected, and theres no way you can adapt one of the others to fit, if its an OEM then it would'nt have come with the cable, OEM's are just the cards, you need one of these here , i think that power supply will run it fine.

Treebeard1337 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 na, it came with alot more than the card, there are a bunch of other cables and monitor adapters and the driver cd. on another forum im being told there is an adapter that can work for this powersupply to fit the card.

Treebeard1337 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 yeah i think all i need is a 4pin to 6pin pci adapter, why did you think there was no adapter that would work daedalus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 yeah i think all i need is a 4pin to 6pin pci adapter, why did you think there was no adapter that would work daedalus? There is one that will work, i linked you to a one which you need, i didn't mean there was no adapter for it, i meant you can't adapt one of your fan cables to work. Im using a 4pin to 6pin PCI-E adapter with my x1800 XT, mine came with the card, maybe the one for your card is missing if you have the rest of the adapters, i didn't think OEM's came with all the gubbins as normally they are just the cards in a plain box.
