power cable confusion  Last response: in Graphics & Displays  Hi
all, Have just upgraded from a 8800GTS 320mb to an ATI 4870
512mb.I have changed cards several times before,but have hit a
snag this time.My old 8800gts only has one 6 pin power plug but
the 4870 has 2.I have tried it in both on separate occasions but
just get a power input error message on my monitor. I have what
looks like an adapter lead included but don't know which lead if
any they would go in to.I don't want to get it wrong and fry it!
In my PC case is a mass of wires held with cable ties,and there
are 3 spare 4 pin plugs if this helps? any help would be
massively appreciated indeed! Motherboard is an ASUS P5N-E SLI n
Force(C55) Core 2 Duo. ATX case +550W PSU Vista 32  You plug 2
of the 4 pin plugs into the "Y" adapter and then plug the 6 pin
plug into the other slot on the video card.  You have to have 2
- 6 pin connectors to run the card. Related resources  Thanks
very much fo
