SLI Question

[34erd]

If I have a PSI that is powerfull enough to run SLI, but it desnt have the extra PCI-E conector, is there anyway I can run SLI without buying a new PSU? Can I add another cable if its mudular?

do you mean the power connector for your video card? if so, then no, i wouldnt risk damaging the card or mobo. Why would u possible need 2x 7800gtx's anyway?

there are convertors from the 4 pin molex to the 6 pin pci-e availiable and are fine to use. Cant find one right now, but they're out there.

Ok... So would the Antec Neopower (I'm changing my PSU) be powerfull enough for SLI?

Or how about the OCZ powerstream 420ADJ?

The NeoPower is a really nice PSU, not sure on the OCz but they generally make quality parts. Here's a 4-pin to 6-pin if you need one.

usually the video cards come with their own power connectors.
so you dont have to buy a new PSU
