Geforce 7900 on E510
I read another message on here and it was suggested to that person to get a Y cable for the card to run properly. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201006 I have a simliar card, and it came with the 6pin to 2 4 pin connector. Do I need to buy this Y cable as well and see thats one end of the 6 pin connector is hooked up, then both the Y ends connected to PSU? That may be confusing.
- The connector isn't long enough to connect to the molex on your computer. Just tried it myself 2 days ago. You either need to buy a longer connector or another PSU. I bought another PSU since many were telling me my video card would have a short lifespan with the 305 watt stock PSU in the E510. I now have a 7950gt with 430 watt PSU in the E510. I think it might be running hot (GPU 77C) though after several hours of game play, and may need an extra fan.

One Molex power cable instead of the Y molex cable link
