Is my current psu fine for this hardware?

Rather then start a new thread, friend is looking at a 5970. He's got a corsair 750tx and it doesn't have enough 8 pins. I assume you can use adapters to power it, but would it have to be two 6 pins to a single 8 pin? or a 6pin + 4pin to 8pin? I vaguely remember 6pins being 75w and 8pins being 150w or something

what do you mean it doesn't have enough pcie pins?

a 5970 only requires 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin pcie cable, and the 750tx has 4 pcie cables.
 
i still don't understand what the problem is lol.

the corsair 750tx has 4 6+2 pcie cables, so for a 5970 you would just use a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin.
 
:( *Facepalm*

I need more sleep lmao. I was getting 4 + 4s mixed up with 6+2s..

lol :p

i was also really tired when i read your post, and i thought maybe i was reading it wrong and missing something because my eyes were hurting >.<

atleast it's cleared up now :)
