Title: How to Connect R9 270X to Motherboard Post by: Thread7 on February 17, 2014, 09:37:09 PM I just got a new Sapphire R9-270x Dual-X 2GB card. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I decided to post a newbie question after searching Sapphire support and other places with no luck since I don't want to blow up my brand new card. The included manual has a goofy diagram that doesn't even look like my card. It says "You Must connect this graphics board to the computer's power supply".
I have two 6-pin PCIe power slots. I should plug 6-pin power connectors into both, right? At the moment, this will be the only PCIe graphics card on the mb. Thanks. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0RqUm8IHxQY/UwKAPNMT2jI/AAAAAAAAACc/MkVQ1gsSMt4/w677-h382-no/r9_270x_pcie_power_connector.jpg Title: Re: How to Connect R9 270X to Motherboard Post by: Dimrain13 on February 17, 2014, 09:39:42 PM Yes plug both in, its standard to have multiple plugs. If it didnt need it it wouldnt be there.
