Hey guys, so I recently bought a used R9 280x (just the card, no adapters or extras) as to replace my GTX 660. Unfortunately I came home to find out that the 280x requires both a 8-pin and a 6-pin connector from my PSU. I have a decent PSU that I'd bought many years back, an Enermax Liberty 620W. (ENERMAX Liberty ELT620AWT 620W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com)
Unfortunately, I got only 2 x 6-pin cables intended for the GPU. Am I going to be able to get away with powering the 280x on just the 2 x 6-pins? Is it risky to try? Would my only alternative option be to buy a new PSU?
Thanks for your feedback!
