Title: 2x 550w corsair for 3x vapor-x? Post by: ballot on February 13, 2014, 11:23:53 AM hi i have 3x vapor-x + mobo @ 1250w ocz working
i have another 3x vapor-x currently they are sleeping like "Sleeping Beauty" i wonder if it's the cheapest solution to run these by 2x corsair 550w vs550 http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/vs-series-power-supply-units/vs-seriestm-vs550-550-watt-power-supply.html it has only 2x PCI-E Connector so i can run only 1 gpu each psu so my 1 gpu will still sleep. btw i think to use pci-e to molex https://i.imgur.com/z4F9i4x.jpg i will need to connect 4 molex to psu,so i will split them to 2 psu as equivalent. 2x molex each psu so my question is . may i have any problem with latest card ???

It looks like 4 grounds and 4 12v. if you plug that in, you will fry your video card. The PCI-E 8 pin is 5 grounds, 3 12v.

Post by: DrG on February 16, 2014, 11:14:49 AM As noted above Molex would be OK for a 75W 6 pin but pulling 150W (even if it's only 2 more grounds) through cheaply made connectors will cause them to burn up. At the least use a PSU that has more 6 pin connectors - those Molex have crappy 18AWG usually.
