    Powering a gtx 295

    I have just bought one of these only to find out that my power supply a corsair hx620 dosnet have an 8 pin power connecter, only 2 6 pin ones. The card came with an adapter to make 2 4 pin into one 8 pin but then it says in the manual that you shouldnt use these. Is there any way i can power my card with this psu?

    Go for it, the 2 extra pins are grounding pins they dont actually do anything, its just cable ratings. Later versions of your psu came with 8 pins anyway.

    as above, you just need the adaptors so that you have the correct connectors. but the corsair 620w should be fine to power it.

    As Mehmeh linked, Corsair will happly freely supply them to you if you contact them.

    There's a reason we like Corsair support
