PCIe 6pin to 8pin adapter

[cmdrdredd]

For an HD2900XT I want to get an adapter that changes a 6pin PCIe to 8pin PCIe plug. I have a Seasonic S12 600w PSU that has 2x 6pin connectors. I need to use both obviously. Any ideas where this adapter can be found? I've heard people were getting them but they were the wrong 8pin adapter on them. I would like to find the correct one. I'm not good with a soldering gun so I can't make my own.

Thanks.

P.S. I didn't know if this belonged in the PSU section or here because it's kinda related to both topics. Move if necessary thanks.

You really dont need the adapter.

I'm using 2x6 pin and happily overclocked to 825/925

how? you using ATITool instead of the overdrive function?

How did you find the max? ATI overdrive will search for the max and it kinda worked for my x1900xt.

Try this Works with pretty much every OS and is my favourite utility until ATI Tool has full Vista X64 functionality. AMD GPU tool can monitor temperatures and basic overclocking, no need for the 8pin connector as from reading reviews around the net it makes no difference in OC - I am running 830/1170 comfortably atm. It takes a bit of testing as there is no 'auto scan for max core/mem' function but i managed by raising core/mem individually then playing a game for a while to check stability. When the new ATItool is released though I will be switching over as I'd love to access the voltage control.

ok cool i'll also have to search around for some sort of graphic intensive demo/test that I can use to test for stability. I remember one that was really nice, but forget where it can be located. Could always use 3dmark and the like.

A few loops of 3dmark 06 would suffice I'd say

it's what I was thinking about.

I personally prefer RivaTuner. I can OC, control fan, monitor clockspeeds and temps.

Vista x64 and rivatuner doesn't work for me.
