Hi all

Have any of you tried to run a 7950 card with one PCI-E power connector?

Doesn't work. I have 16x 7950s. You'll need both.

The card will not power on unless all power sockets are populated and powered.

If you're out of PCI-e connectors on your power supply then every 7950 I've ever bought (30-something) come with molex-to-PCIe adapters that will help you out.
