Can sombody find out if my PC has it or not. cause i don't know how to. PleaseMy PC name is SR1900NXMotherboard name is P5RC-LEThank you for your help!!!!!
Look at your power supply. It will have multiple power cables coming from it. One should have a 6-pin connector if your power supply is capable of that. It may not be.
A 6-pin connector is required for video cards that needs more than 75 watts of electrical power. A video card that needs more than 75 watts will have a 6-pin plug on the card, which you must connect to a 6-pin cable from a computer's power supply. Cards that need less than 75 watts don't have the 6-pin connector, because the card can draw up to 75 watts directly from the slot in which it is inserted. The 6-pin has nothing to do with your motherboard.
Most of the better graphics cards require more power than what is supplied thru the pci-express slot on the motherboard, so to provide the card with additional power a 12V, 6 pin pci-e power connector that comes directly from the power supply is used. Some cards need one of these and some need two, depends on how much power the card needs.
