Do all gtx 460's need 2 6-pin power connections?

Not only that, but if i did use a 6-pin to 4-pin converter with two molex connectors would i get full power off the card, and would it be safe?

As long as you can plug it in, it should work as far as I know. I expect it depends on your PSU.

Sorry but i have one more question regarding molex connectors. Would it be safe to use a molex splitter like this onehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Splitter-Cable-Molex-Lead/dp/B003OSNWM8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1282922471&sr=1-4in order to power my case fan and a graphics card like the gtx 460 (along with 1 6-pin power connector)?

Yeah sure, its a CiT 650UB Black Edition, its cheap but all the reviews i have seen are good, but i would like to know if its got enough power please

Are the reviews you have seen written by reputable sites, or just random people who have just been lucky enough not to have any issues?

I cannot say that the PSU is junk, but I also cannot find even the website for the manufacturer, which is usually a bad sign.

I will not say it won't work, or is a bad idea. But if it were me, I would look into buying a better quality PSU. But that's just me, I am anal about PSU's.

Does the sticker on the side say anything like "max combined wattage" for the 12v rails? Cause just because it has 2 x 12v rails, does not mean the PSU can max out both rails, it just means each rail can support than much juice.

650W should be plenty for one GTX460 but there's always the issue of quality. Do you have tons of stuff hooked up or does it just not have that many connectors?

Min req is 450W.

Thanks for helping, hopefully this will give you more in-depth information on the psuhttp://www.aone.co.uk/ProdInfo.ASP?ProductID=2460. I really lack knowledge when in comes to psu's, but as its so cheap i should probably be careful..having said that my mate bought a very cheap 750watt psu and his has been fine ever since he bought it.. Cheers, Sean

Also guys, i was thinking of buying a molex splitter to use on my optical and rewriter drives, then that way i will be able to free up 2 molex connections from my psu, would that be a good idea?
