| 188234567. shop around but if you dont have the 6pin from the psu then thats what you need. the underlying potential problem is if the psu does not have the new connectors does it have enough power? what model psu do you have? |

| Uhhh. 420w model? even if its a very good psu then you are pushing it. |

| 185702429. if thats the psu you bought. its a POS. you get what you pay and i wouldnt be surprised if it blows up in your face when you power on. |
