Miichael Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 I got my 7800GT card today and on the extra power that hooks to it, it has a splitter for 2 power cables. Do i need to hook 2 power cables to that, or is one just for power out of card so you can hook up another device from it? also my mb has a power plug on it for the pci-e slots. do i need to hook up both on-board and power to card?

i_lag Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 it has a splitter for 2 power cables. 588855[/snapback] so was one a male connector and one female? if so you just use the one that will fit, and reading the instructions wouldnt hurt either.

LiquidPCB Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) BOTH I have a GTX and the wiring is such that you need them both plugged in and I would assume the gt is the same even though to assume makes an butt of U and ME Edited December 2, 2005 by LiquidPCB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 supposed to plug both in from different PSU lines to give more stability, personaly i have a PCI-e connector so idk, it SHOULD work fine with just one, but i would use two if i could...
