sasqui when I get home, i'll post the pic of the 8-pin 'adapter' i made...
I basically took an AUX CPU 12V adapter (4-pin), cut the 4-pin out completely (saving the pins - don't bend them or break them)...I then removed the yellow wire, leaving only 2 black wires (one side was the molex, the other side was 2 bare pins). You slide the two ground pins into the open spot on the 8-pin and you're done...
I took pics of the connection, but they're at home...I'll post them later tonight
I'm totally a DIY person, but got lazy and ordered the adaptor from Frozencpu - should have been in the mail today USPS Pri, but no maybe tomorrow. Thx and post the pics anyway... you may even want to start a different thread, others have been asking!
My only prob is the PCI-E 6-pin "Y" cable that came with the Hiper PSU, the one middle +12v pin is a blank, so I'm leery.
Why not skip the 8-pin and just use ATI tool? Do you just prefer to do it through CCC or something? I am using 2 6 pins and its working great.
Sort of - I prefer to have the option of CCC. And maybe I'm stupid, but I never got the hang of setting the X1 2D/3D clocks in ATI tool - I prefer not to pay for an extra 100W when I'm not in 3D.
