2xMolex to 1xPCI-Express

Zaltan · 18-December-06, 04:31 PM

My new PSU that I was given for free (its new aswell! I've had 2 Crazy Corsair 520w's blow on me) is a 550w Fortron Server PSU. The problem is that it doesn't have a PCI-Express power connector. So I have to use the 2 Molex to 1 PCI-Express converter that came with my video card. I was wondering if this will have any performance (overclocking!) or stability implications.

Thanks
Chris.

As far as I know it doesn't. I've been running a friends computer for 2 1/2 years now like that without a problem though addmitidly I've not tried any oc'ing on it.

Cool and thanks, it seems fine O/Cing. Was just asking for a second opinion.
