    Power supply with 6 pins + 8 pins for NVidia GeForce GTX 480

    I can't find any Power Supply who have 6 pins and another cable with 8 pins since NVidia GeForce GTX 480 requieres that...

    I checked amazone and found few, but there isnt any with 1x 6pin and 1x 8pin, im kinda worried about power supplies atm, can someone help out?


    found few, but there isnt anything said about pins I need :/ most of them have only 1 6pin :/

    I have also one PC shop in my town where selling 850w for 55£, but not sure about cable & pins :/

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005 Here is one for reference. notice under Details the PCI-E Cables are 2x 6+2. this will work.

    Does it not come with an adapter? I have a GTX 460 but my 750w PSU only has 1 6 pin and the card came with an adapter to make one of my other power cords into a 6pin.

    The card will definitely come with a cable to convert molex (IDE power) to whatever pins it requires.

    vs

    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-...-rail-atx-ps-2

    what's really difference there, yeah one is 850w other is 600w, but why prices have such a difference?

    Isn't 850w srsly better then that 600w ?

    Not always the case. Although it may state a rated power of 850W, its performance may draw less than that. Also you should consider efficiency when buying a power supply. Anything rated 80+ Bronze certified will more likely save you money in the long run than a cheaply made 850W PSU.

    Also, MassOwnage has provided an excellent alternative, although you'll have to pay slightly more.

    Here is another alternative, but slightly more expensive than the Corsair 650TX, Antec Truepower 650W £69.99

    Specs

    24-pin (20+4) main connector
    8-pin EPS12V
    4-pin ATX12V
    8-pin (6+2) PCI-E
    6-pin PCI-E

    3 x Molex + 1 x Floppy
    3 x SATA

    I Checked out the Antec, but linked the Corsair one mainly because it has a Single 12v Rail, so he won't have to worry about spreading the power even across his components. =)

    The rails do not matter! Multiple rails are there pretty much as a safety net in case something like a short occurs in the PSU. You have to do nothing special to "spread" out the powers across them, it's all in the hardware.

    80+ certification means the hardware is quality tested and up to standard. So yeah thats kinda epic. Some psus say they are 650 w when in reality they can only handle 450 because of shit components.

    Not much of a difference, just check which has better set of cables for you.

    And yet another bit of misinformation about 80+. No, 80+ is not about testing the hardware for quality, it's just a rating for efficiency. The efficiency of the PSU is how much of the power being drawn from the wall gets converted into power useable by the components in your computer while the rest is given off as heat. You can have 80+ power supplies that realistically can't pull their rated wattage.
