Graphics Card connections

[Morrismornic]

On a new graphics card installation I must "...connect the two six-pin  PCI Express powerconnectors;" my Power Supply furnishes one such connector...do I use this and connect the other by the furnished adaptor to the motherboard? Would appreciate any guidance from the more informed.

HI,

Do not connect the other video card PCI-E connector to the motherboard.

What video card are you using?

What model HP PC are you using? 

What power supply are you using?

Video Card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX465; Pavilion Elite m9060n PC; Antec Earthwatts 650 PSU...Thanks for help (in advance)

Hi,

You will need to use one of the Y 6 pin PCI-E splitters as a second source of power for your video card.

Does your power supply have any spare 4 pin molex connectors to use with the Y splitter?

Real simple answer...Yes! Thanks again for assist G.N.
