MSI Radeon 7870 2gb OC - LN47049: What are the PSU Pin Requirements?

[Chadders87]

Hi,

How many pins does the MSI 7870 OC (LN47049) need from the PSU? Just ordered one but need to check the pin requirements incase an adapter is needed.

For reference my PSU is the BeQuiet! 450w.

Thanks,

you will need 2 x 6 pin pci-e for the 7870, and looking here http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/293 (if this is yours) you only have 1. so you will need an adapter, wait till it comes as there should be one in the box.

I thought so. Thanks for the help Technodean!
