jimmil43 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Are you talking about the 4 pin to the motherboard or the 6 pin to the video card? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Fanatic Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I too am using a dedicated PCIE Power connector from my PSU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehil Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Also if you don't OC the card it dosen't need that extra PCI-E power since the PCI-E slots are capable of delivering 75W thru the slot. But still might be risky since the 7800GT consumes around 75W. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
