Question about 6-pin adapter

[computater]

As another one of my parts came in today, I discovered that my x1900xtx requires a 6-pin power connector which my psu does not have. (Vantec stealth 470w) Is it ok to try and find a molex -> 6-pin adapter to make this work, or do I really need a native 6-pin connector?

An adaptor should work just fine

I am suprised the XTX did not include one. All the cards that I have ever bought that required a 6-pin PCIE connector have included one in the box. You should be able to find one online for <$5 shipped. It is okay to use them. Just hope you 12V rail can handle it.

Yeah an adaptor will be just fine. I am pretty sure the XTX should have included it unless youg ot OEM

It's an official BBA. It doesn't say it includes one on the box, and I don't remember finding one, but I'll check again. Everyone I know thought it should have come with one too. Sort of dissapointing.
