Problem with x800xl power connector

[lyssword]

I bought a powercolor x800xl pci-e without power connnector, when I try to start it says "connect ur power cable" message. I tried connecting 4 pin powercable that powers floppy drives but it still doesnt boot up, same message. There is also thick 6 pin connector but I don't have the right connector. Please help, I don't even know where to get the powercable adapters..

hmm...

My X800XL that I sold (Connect3D) had no power connector what so ever IIRC.

you need to get one of the PCI express power adapters
look at newegg or xoxide or coolerguys
