    PCI-e Graphics Supplementary Power Connection

    I recently installed a Sunbeam NUUO 550 in my rig and had some problems with the 6 pin PCI-e connector. This is a modular PSU and there is a 6pin to 6pin connection that I hooked up to my 6800 gt. That end of the card began to overheat and my graphics intensive applications would not run very...
