So here is the power supply, motherboard and graphics card I have.Power Supply: ATX-TL500W-BK Motherboard: GA-78-LMT-S2 Graphics Card: GV-N960XTREME-4gd As you can see the mother board is a (pcie 2.0), and my graphics card is 3.0 with a 6pin and 8pin slot on the side for It's power cables.My previous graphics card didn't need any cables to run to it, so I don't know what I need for going from the 3.0 to the 2.0, and I don't know where the power cables for the card connect to.Any help is very appreciated.
You have a big enough PSU--400W recommended, you have 500W available. The cables from the card go to the PSU. If you don't have the right one(s) then buy adapters. Contact card maker for those if you didn't get any in box or search Google.
Your power supply is a poor one for that video card. Put it this way (simply): If you PSU does not have the proper PCIe 6 and 8 pin video power connectors, then that PSU is not good enough for your video card in the first place. Time to upgrade the PSU. Get a good name brand one, and one that has a single +12V rail design (not dual rail like your old PSU)...
Could you possibly provide a link to a motherboard, and power supply that are still compatible with the ones I have as far as how they fit? Cause I would have no idea what I would be looking for.
your going to need a bigger power supply cause the graphic card requires a 8 pin and 6 pin power connection n the mother board needs also the 20 pin plus a 4 pin power connection for the mother board
