which of them require to be plugged into the PSU separately to work correctly?


if i were to install a giant 2 on my card, will i need any thermal compound?

9500, 9700, 9800 have to be plugged directly into the psu.

ok thanks man...


so when i buy OEM...what otehr cables will i be needing?

none, they connect using the regular power cable

Actually, you might have to get a cable. They use a cable like your floppy drive is connected to. If you don't have your floppy hooked up then you'll have one available. There's a picture of one here.
