Here's my 2 cents...

I wouldn't use ANY kind of adapter on the vid card power leads. I've seen too many ppl have issues with this...


Link them
Plz do

I'll except extensions too

You want me to link two cents, or all the times I've seen issues with weird power adapter for vid cards?

Coz if it's the 2nd, I know of no way to possibly find them all. :)

/e But I can tell you this...most were from ppl who used those Y cables that come with some vid cards.


/ee Yes, I realize it's not exactly the same thing. But the way I look at it is...don't mess with power to the component that draws hardest on the PSU...especially an Earthwatts PSU.

I agree 100% about the amperage.

But 9 times out of 10 it the same ppl that have wimpy PSU's AND want to use the Y cables.
