Need Help About A8N-SLI from you guys

[tetete]

I havn't get my Motherboard yet, but I already bought two 6800GTO from Dell using PCI-E

But Dell didnt provide a power cord adapter for their Video Card, and my power suply does not have a

PCI-E power connector too!

So I'm just woudering, the system will not even boot up if I dont pluge the power cable to the Video cards,

or the system will work, and I can going to windows, but the card just won't show their 100% strength.

PLZ help me this out.

and, any one knows where I can buy the power cable adapter for a not over charged price plz?

Even I buy a new power suply now, I still need to buy one, because most power suply have PCI-E connector, just have one.

 

[tetete]

Noone knows ?

I didn't think that the 6800 GTO could even be used in SLI (I didn't think it had the place for the connector).

I don't know if you'll be able to turn on the system or not. Certainly won't be able to play games. What you'll need is an adapter that allows you to convert molex connectors to the PCI-Express 6 pin plug.

Yes, you do need that cable. The store bought vid cards come with the cable converter since almost no one has a PSU that supports 6 pin PCI-E power. The cable converts two 4 pin molex plugs into one 6 pin PCI-E. You can get these cables on the net for $10. Do a google search. Seek and ye shall find.

Cmon tetete let us know.I've bought two of those cards too...but not yet received one of them.I've read somewhere there's no way for the 6800gto to work good in sli , a lot of problems and corruption in image.Overall it is also impossible at the moment with rivatuner to unlock the pipe of both the card....this is what i've read.
Is there someone who knows how to unlock the pipe of both the card ?
cmon...tetete let us know if this sli setup with 6800gto works or not.
