    Hi all, here is the situation.
    I have a 5850 and am buying another one.
    My current powersupply is

    I know what your thinking, and yes, I will be getting something better!
    For now though I am wondering what cables/adapters I need to connect the power to two 5850's.
    Another Pci-e 6 to 6 pin cable and a 4 to 6 pin cable? Help is appreciated.

    You'll need about a 600W PSU with four 6-pin connectors, IIRC.

    Thanks for that.
    Another question guys:
    Is it ok to use a 6 pin to molex cable from the power supply, and connect the molex to another molex to 6 pin cable into the graphics card?

    What I'm trying to ask is putting two of these:

    together one end connected to GPU, one to PSU and in the middle connecting the female to male molexs.
