I think you're perception of power draw is a bit off. you'll need to research the specific card and see if someone did such detailed numbers for it. Tom's measures all that when reviewing cards and every one is different. I appreciate you are trying to help, but I am really only looking for the answer to my specific question, no other type of advice. I myself have an HP system with an 18-pin connector to the motherbord, instead of the standard 24-pin. But that doesn't mean that it would't be safe to use an adapter in some cases.Īnd replacing the PSU is sometimes not so easy, some OEM system have their own form factors and connectors. If it would not be possible to use an adapter in a safe way, graphics card manufacturers wouldn't supply them with their products.įor someone who doesn't know what "Max continuous output" and "80+ certified" mean, and have no idea what the total power consumption of their system is, then looking at the cables might be the only option. ![]() And that's exactly why I want to know how much power the connectors can supply. However, it's not true that adapters should never be used, they are only unsafe if the GPU draws to much power from the PSU, or if the GPU draws too much power through the adapter.
