Ok i just bought an OEM ati radeon X850XT. it wont come with the pci express power adapter.

Now there are TWO different power adapters, one is this one:


cord 1

THE OTHER:
cord 2



notice one only has 1 4pin connector while the other has two. also, THIS WEBSITETHIS WEBSITE says pin 5 of the 6pin connector on the first one is connected to ground whereas on the SECOND one pin 5 is connected to a +12v wire. it says that only ONE will work and the other will cause my computer not to boot up.

THIS IS THE ONE ATI SELLS - click here

and it looks different from both of them. so can someone please tell me which one will work with my computer?

Either of them should be fine.

The one from SVC looks like it draws it power from two molex connectors so that?s probably the one I would go with.
