question about gtx 460

Hi guys, just wondering if i was to use 1x 6 pin pci/e and one 6-pin to 4 pin molex adapter for a gtx 460 card would it work at full power? Here is my psu if you need more info>http://www.aone.co.uk/ProdInfo.ASP?ProductID=2460I'm assuming it should, but would like some advice please! :)

I don't know much about that brand of power supply, but it looks like you should be fine if you use the molex to 6-pin adapter in concert with the PCI-E 6-pin that the PSU already has. GTX 460 barely needs the 2nd PCI-E power plug anyways. Like 10-15 watts less and it could've done with a single 6-pin if I'm not mistaken. TDP of the card is 160 watts. The PCI-E slot can supply 75 watts, the 6-pin can supply 75 as well. So you're at 150 watts there without the help of the 2nd 6-pin connection.

Go for it.

Why are people posting all this stuff about not going SLI on that PSU? Of course you wouldn't. The OP didn't say anything about SLI.

I Have a OCZ 600w PSU with +12V @ 18A. I went from a GTS250 (runs good) to a GTX460 (BSOD on windows logo). So my question is do I need a 500w +12V @ 24A or was the card DOA ?

The Bios boots normal, it's when windows is about to start up when the BSOD appears for one second then computer tries to reboot. When i reinstall my old GTS250 every thing works.

BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death
