HD5850 Power Cables setup

Kevinf63 · 2010-09-28 21:36:19

I have my MSI 5850 Twin Frozr II connected to my PSU through one normal 6 pin to 6 pin power cable(http://www.techaddicts.net/reviews/tpower750/tp750w_2pcie.jpg) and one 6 pin to 4 pin molex (http://www.pclive.com.au/molexpci.gif) is this okay to do? Plus I may add that the 6 to 4 pin molex is connected to the same wires…

Plus I may add that the 6 to 4 pin molex is connected to the same wires as the case fans. Is this bad? All comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a Cooler-Master True Power M620 PSU my set up takes up around 450-500 max under serious stress it has two 6 pin slots on it but they are thick cables and I don't want unnecessary clutter in my case as it's an Antec 300.
