    It was definitely a dark time in my life. Much smoke, Many fumes, Such Shame

    SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 Resets Computer When Put Under Load

    I think that's route I'm going to take. New PSU, although I still have to test my card in my other computer.

    Not sure, but I'll have to take a look when I get home. There are some screenshots from a somewhat embarrassing post I made previous. Using the same PSU, just trimmed back and taped over the offending molex, and its worked perfectly since then...till now...

    SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 Resets Computer When Put Under Load

    My video card has 2- 8 pin connectors. I had to get a 6 to 8 adapter so that I could power my card.

    I didn't try that, so I'll check that before I start swapping, although I'm not optimistic

    Thanks for doing the math Armenius. Its an Intel, so I should be fine. Thanks!

    No access to multimeter...would probably electrocute myself if I did. :D Guess I'll put the video card in my other system and test it out. It only has a 500W PSU, so hopefully that won't be an issue.

    SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 Resets Computer When Put Under Load

    I have a SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB and I have been Litecoin mining on it for about 2 months with no issues. However the day before yesterday it stopped mining, which was no big deal, I thought the computer just installed Automatic Updates at night and reset the computer...

    I'm considering this, with a 6 pin to 8 pin converter. With what I've been reading, the molex chop should be a fairly easy exercise, and the 600W should be enough. BUT…I haven’t made up my mind yet.

    I have no problem admitting that I’m a bit of a noob, but it’s not like I don’t have any experience. However, in all the time I have been doing this I never came across the wattage specs for molex v. pci-e, and didn’t even know that I needed to know that (if that makes any sense) and more to...

    Looks like I'll go the new psu route, because I'm rolling in cash. :D I’m just curious, from an “autopsy” perspective, should I have used the one 6x2 pci-e connector on the current psu and then got a 6 to 8pin adapter for the other.

    Here is my card. Apparently later models came with the 2, 8-pin connectors. So my previous question still stands: Will a Corsair CX-600 with 2 x 6+2-Pin PCI-Express Connectors do the trick? Thanks!

    I've got to go to work right now and don't have time to upload a picture, but it clearly has 2 8 pin connectors. I can count.

    Since I need 2, 8 pin connectors for my video card (SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB) a PSU such as the Corsair CX-600 with 2 x 6+2-Pin PCI-Express Connectors would do the trick.
