Hotwiring the X800XT

I JUST PURCHASED THE SAME CARD OEM WITH NO POWER CONNECTOR. MY ANTEC TRUEPOWER 550WATT DOESNT HAVE THE 6 PIN PCI EXPRESS CONNECTER EITHER. YOU BASICLY HAVE 1 OF 2 CHOICES 1. BUY A NEW PCI EXPRESS READY PSU FOR ABOUT $100 OR 2. OR YOU CAN ORDER THE 12V 6 PIN PCI EXPRESS ADPATER FROM ATI LIKE I DID FOR $15 SHIPPED. PROBLEM IS IT IS ON BACK ORDER FOR 3-4 WEEKS. HERE IS A LINK TO SEE THE CABLE AND ORDER DIRECT FROM ATI. http://shopati.ca/product.asp?sku=2556135. LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIGURE SOMETHING ELS OUT OR FIND THIS ADAPTER SOMEWHERE ELS IN STOCK. I JUST SPENT $2000 BUILDING MY GAMER DREAM SYSTEM WITH HAND PICKED PARTS AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING ME UP FROM TESTING IT OUT IS THAT DAMN 6 PIN POWER ADAPTER. PIECE OF CRAP LOOKS EASY TO RIGG UP TOO. IM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES WITH MY NEW $600 VIDEO CARD THO. GOOD LUCK

Unless you have a LGA775 setup with PCI-E, you won't be able to fit the card into your own system anyway. Since it sounds like you don't really have a LGA775 setup yourself, you won't be able to use the X800XT in anything other than your sister's comp.

Anybody Know Where To Find A Pci Express 6 Pin Power Adapter In Stock?

Do they make GF5750's in PCI-E?

If not, you are screwed buddy cuz you have an AGP card that won't work with her PCI-E motherboard and she has a PCI-E card that won't work with your AGP motherboard....

GF5750 is a pci-e card so he definitely has pci-e mobo in there..........just order a new psu and sell your old one.
