Q:Okay so I am trying to upgrade my graphics card and In order ti di That I need a new Power Supply Unit. The PSU I was looking at is a 850 watt one and it has six pin connectors. The problem is all my componets are 4 pin connectors. If I get the new power supply can I somehow get a 6 pin connector to fit in a four pin like a adapter or something. BTW in order for the graphics card to function I need a six pin but all my other stuff in 4. So is there a way to work that out

exchange the PSU, for a extra powerful one. 430W @80percentefficiency = 344W 500W @80percentefficiency = 400W 600W @80percentefficiency = 480W 650W @80percentefficiency = 520W 700W @80percentefficiency = 560W 750W @80percentefficiency = 600W 800W @80percentefficiency = 640W 850W @80percentefficiency = 680W 900W @80percentefficiency = 720W 950W @80percentefficiency = 760W 1000W @80percentefficiency = 800W minimum PSU 700W-800W.

Q:I wanted to buy this card: What power cables will it need? Thanks in advance

You don't need any power cables. The board gets power from the mother board. You need a PCI-Express slot on your mother board. If you're asking about video cables to the monitor, it says in the listing... Interfaces 2 x DVI-I - 29 pin combined DVI , 1 x HDMI - 19 pin HDMI Type A , 2 x DisplayPort - Apple mini-DisplayPort You only need one of these unless you are running more than 1 monitor. I would look on your monitor and see what connections you have. (2) DVI-1 is common is older stuff, (1) HDMI is the newest technology and common for HDTV, (2) Apple ports for Apple enabled monitors.

Q:I have a dell xps 420 and I wanted to replace the power cable as it's broken, the cable according to the specs looked like this http://cl.ly/image/311R232N120a and http://cl.ly/image/3L2C1h2V3C1X. Where can I buy the same exact cable with the same color code? I tried looking at OKorder, but didn't see any

If you are located outside USA, let me know so that I can provide you the correct information. Let me know if you need any further support. I will be glad to help you. Dell-Niranjan

Q:I just put a new sound system in my boat with a sony xplod sub and amp, and also an infinity reference amp with 4 kenwood speakers. The problem i'm having is that i had to run the amp power cable right past the right rear speaker and now i'm getting a lot of feedback when the engine is turned on. Is there any way to insulate the power cable so that i don't get that annoying feedback through that one speaker? thanks-Josh

You have to move that wire away from the spk. is it close to the spk, or is the wire close to the one for the spk? You may be able to block the amp wire from the spk, by placing some wood of some sort between the two( hillbilly I know but...) The other thing you can try would be to wrap the amp wire with a plastic conduit, od a foam like expanding spray foam could shield it. You can also try a magnet ont he power wire to the spk.(that may take the feed back out of it.) Or try them all at once LOL(sorry but it might work) Just try to get the wires as far away from the other as possible. Hope that helps. Cheers Wiretheworld

Q:My ac jack is screwed up and I can't plug in the ac adapter. I have heard that there is a power cable that will plug into one of the other ports on the side of the computer to, but I don't know where to find one or what they are called. Also, I have heard there are a million problems with the R3000 - and some can be fixed by taking it apart. I do NOT want to do this. I just need an alternative power cable. The laptop works perfect - if it had power. Thanks in advance. :)

in case you're a do it your self guy attempt to get the plug at a digital shop like Radio Shack and adjusted your self that stands out as the low-fee determination, maximum adapters had the cable related to the potential furnish so the subsequent determination would be to interchange the potential furnish which will fee a minimum of 60 money additionally try OKorder in specific situations you get areas very much less costly there.

Q:I bought a XFX Radeon 6970 and I KNOW it is going to need power cables. I just need to know exactly which ones. Please help

It needs 150w through the 8 pin connector and 75w through the 6 pin connector, in addition to the 75w it draws through the PCI bus. You can see the connectors in pictures of the card. These are standard connectors on an ATX12V v2.2 power supply, but you will need to make sure the power supply says 2 x 6+2-Pin for PCI Express power connectors. One or two six-pin connectors alone isn't sufficient.

Q:Will it work if I put a pigtail (connect the wires by twisting them together) or does that stop it from working properly..

Twisting wires on a power cable?? Should work to start a fire and kill you laptop, assuming you don't electrocute yourself first.? No, sorry, I think you need to buy a new one.

Q:I lost my power cable and want to know if some of the others i have around the house are adequate size

some PS3s have widely used ability grant. to comprehend which one you have you're able to desire to open it. in case you do not choose to open it (and void the guarantee) - use ability converter. notice: for PS3 you would be wanting a minimum of four hundred Watt. As for ability cable itself - relies upon on the socket on your ability converter.

Q:I recently moved from one state to another and brought my XBox 360 and games with me, but forgot the power supply, power cable and AV cables. I can't get a family member to ship them because they are all locked in storage and even if I mailed the keys, they are probably buried under everything else anyway.Most electronics stores sell the AV cables so that isn't a problem. But nobody seems to carry the power supply. Most places I've found online carry generic or no-name brand equipment which I want to stay away from for something this valuable and will only purchase genuine Microsoft equipment. Where can I look or buy it? Will I have to order right from Microsoft themselves?
