NX6600GT-TD128E Help

[ericlala]

I just bought the MSI NX6600GT-TD128E card and what I noticed is that there is no place to plug the PCI-E power rail! I can clearly see that there are 6 clean solder holes where the power plug should be. I checked the online pictures from here:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.php?UID=621
and it clearly shows a 4 pin port that converts to the bigger 4 pin rails with an accessory.
Should I be concerned? Is there supposed to be somewhere to feed more power to the card?

You don't need a connector for the 6600GTs. It doesn't pull more than the 75W that the PCI-E bus offers it.

I didn't think the PCI-E 6600gt needed a supplemental power source. I could be wrong....

Edit: See post above mine.

if someone can tell me how to host pictures, i can show u what my card looks like. Definitely different from the one on the link above.

edit: how come the 6600GT pictures have it?

Dunno, ask MSI. I have two of the cards myself. 😛

Is this your card?

It is just like my Leadtek 6600GT. It gets all it's power from the PCI_E slot. There is no additional power cable to plug into it.

Yes that is exactly my card. Thanks all, I just thought all pci-e graphic cards need a 2nd power source especially since this is an SLI card.
