what are you guys using to power this? the stupid dual molex to 8pin? is there any other way around it?

that thing is gonna make my sys look cheezy

excellent benches 15thwarlock! what proggy are you using to OC the GFX?

and they said AGP was saturated/dead :shadedshu

I'm using Rivatuner 2.08's low level overclocking function

And yes, my proc is running at 2.6ghz right now, I fixed that typo, for some stupid reason this mobo isn't very good at OCing quad procs, Windows won't boot beyond 2.66ghz, though some ppl have been able to OC their quads beyond that changing the FSB once they've booted, haven't tried that yet; as I barely got my new cooler two days ago

so it CAN work without that stupid dual molex > 8 pin adapter?

Morgoth · Mar 21, 2008

well are you running it straight off your PSU or are you using the adapter that came in the box?

:toast:

Morgoth · Mar 21, 2008

intel igent · Mar 21, 2008

any of the other 3850AGP owners doing the same thing?

Cheezy system?

To an unwitting person they will see the dual molex connection on a GPU and think it's powerful as it needs two and the molex connections are bigger connections than the 6pin.

the card comes with native 8pin connection and they supply a dual molex>8pin connector to power the card.

it looks cheezy IMO

Doing what? If you mean using the molex plug with the kit, no, I have been using the PCI-E plug off my PSU. That may be why I can overclock my core to 850 with not a single artifact in ATI tools.

I also noticed that newegg no longer has my card. It actually turns out that when I ordered mine I think it may have been their last since when I refreshed the page it said out of stock. I have been checking the page to look at reviews and the last few days it has said they would get some as of 3/18 but today it said it was deactivated. Guess I got mine just in time!!

Good they suppiled it but sounds like using the dual molex to 8pin connector is going to cut out a couple of power cables from the PSU.

All I can say is I hope you don't have too many other components needing to run off those cables.

I'm using the molex to 8 pin PCIe connector that came with my card, my PSU have only two 6 pin PCIe connectors, but no 8 pin...

Don't think using a 6 pin connector would be recommended, it has an 8 pin connector for a reason, don't you think? Then again, I could be completely wrong after seeing repsol's post... :ohwell:

intel igent · Mar 22, 2008

Mogoth is also using the 6pin

does it matter how you have the pin in the plug?

available in Canada

Anyone experiencing any major issues, as in stability, driver conflicts and the a-like. I plan on purchasing the Powercolour in a few weeks, IF I don't win the PCIe motherboard I'm bidding on, on eBay. Otherwise, I'll be buying an PCIe 3850.

^^

Morgoth · Mar 22, 2008

i think the 8 pined pci-e connector got more grounded?

InnocentCriminal · Mar 22, 2008

Errr, what?

Morgoth · Mar 22, 2008

i mean whats the differends in 8 and 6 pin pci-e connector ?

InnocentCriminal · Mar 22, 2008

I would have thought that'd have been obvious - one has 6 pins, one has 8...

Morgoth · Mar 22, 2008

no in power lol
i know it got more cabels

intel igent · Mar 22, 2008
