Topic: Sapphire 6950 on 2x 460w? (Read 402 times)
anyone?
Hey guys I have 2 Cooler Master RS-460-PMSR-A3 PSUs (460W, 2x 12v rails @18A each in theory) and I want to use them to power a Sapphire 6950 OC edition. I was planning to use 1 psu for the GPU and the other one for the rest of the rig (Asrock N68-VS3-FX, athlon ii x2 250, 4gb ddr3, 500gb hdd, usb wifi dongle).
The GPU has 2x 6 pin connectors, and since the psu only has 1 6pin connector I will be using molex to pcie adapters (came with the 6950) so I can know for sure that I'm using both 12v rails (psu has 2 molex cables, I assume 1 from each 12v rail, is this correct?).
What do you think, will it work? Is there a problem in using 2 psus like this? Then again the 2nd psu will only power the 6950.
