will you just read your own thread, please. your entire system isn't even going to come close to 400w under load let alone your gpu. |

I'm looking at molex connectors on the picture of it...
You might have to get inventive with the converters, but it should work. Just be weary of what you're doing with the converters, ie how much shit you're putting on the 12v rail, etc. |

Okay, I drew a diagram of what I have (a crude one, but nonetheless a diagram). The red cable is what I bought, is that what you guys were talking about (the dual molex to 6-pin?). And will that work without burning my GPU?
Edit: sorry, forgot to attach picture. _________________

The red cable's dual 4-pin molex connectors should be connected directly to the PSU's 4-pin molex power connectors, and not through the fan's molex connectors. In other words, the red cable should directly bridge the PSU to the GPU. _________________

Those two 4-pin molex connecters are the only ones I have. _________________

what in the hell is going on with your diagram.
corsair's website says you should have 6x of those 4pin connections to begin with.
how are you honestly having so much trouble. |

Use the Pwr_fan/Sys_fan connectors on your motherboard instead of wasting those 4-pin molex connectors. Hopefully, your fans are decent enough to include them. _________________

Very tiny, white 3/4-pin connectors on your motherboard. From Newegg's pics, there's Sys_fan2 (3-pin) at the bottom (by the LED power), Sys_fan1 (4-pin) above the 90 degree SATA inputs, and Pwr_fan1 (3-pin) besides your IDE connector and 20/20+4 pin motherboard power.
You can also refer to the manual for the exact location. It's clearly labeled on your motherboard, so it shouldn't be too much trouble finding them. _________________

Alright then, all I need to do is go out and buy a new one of those cables, because the one I have right now is missing pins. _________________

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED.
Plug 2 Molex cables in to the 2 white molex adapters, then plug the black 6 pin into the GPU. _________________

This is the closest thing I can find to what I have. The only difference between what I have and that, is that the there is a dual molex instead of the other white part in that picture.
I hooked that up to stuff, and I used some of the floppy cables for the Sys_fan etc., and I plugged in the video card and all that, and then it didn't turn on. So I took it all back out, and now it works again. _________________
