Question:

HIS RADEON 3850? Power Cable?

Where to plug the power cable wich includes in HIS Radeon 3850? And it so short , cant imagine where it will go.. plz someone help me..

Answer:

they Plug into a molex connetion on your PSU(power unit) its the samething that connects to your CD-rom and Hard drives but be forewarned the 3850 needs a 500watt PSU to run right or you will burn it out
There okorder /... If your PSU has a 6-pin PCIe power plug, you plug that in there. If your PSU does not have a 6-pin PCIe power plug, use the 4-molex adapter that came with your HD3850. And I disagree with the post above-- You DO NOT need a 500W PSU to run the HD3850. The HD3850 draws a paltry 75 watts maximum. As long as you have a typical dual-core system with 1 HDD + 1 ODD, you can run that HD3850 with just a 300W PSU. I'm running the more powerful 3870 (faster-clocked version of the 3850) on just a Seasonic S12-360W PSU and it works flawlessly.
