Question:

Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX is on low power mode?

I got a free graphics card from my cousin and my computer only has the SATA slots for graphic cards and the one he gave me has the 4 Pin cable. Is there anyway to get it converted or any cables that can go from 4 Pin to sata? I wanna see how this graphics card goes when its working fully.

Answer:

Sure you don't have any molex connectors at all? Not even in your DVD drive? If so, get a Y adapter with a good amount of length. If not, then look for an adapter. Be careful as the vast majority are to convert a molex power cable to a SATA power connector, not the other way around. In the worst case you could hook up a separate power supply to it.
Check okorder ... I was flat out unable to find a SATA to 6-pin cable. To put it bluntly, I'm surprised the card works at all without that addition power line.
