I currently use all my spot on my power supply. I don't want a separate adapter for this. Could I simply plug it into one of my other cables?

The more you have plugged in the more noise you'll get through the chain. I would recommend a dedicated power supply like the Voodoo.

I'm sure it depends on your selection of power supply but the biggest problem I have had is bundling up left over cables.

Your power supply has to have a 12 volt round coaxial power outlet port - which is hard to find. I received mine and cannot use it because I can't find a power supply.

This plugging into your computer is more based on your Motherboard.That being said if your mother board looks like this. http://www.esaitech.com/images/detailed/3/GGG/img54820.jpgThen you should be fine.If you look at the 24pin connecter in the upper right. Thats where your power supply plugs in.I personally think it would be very strange to find a computer that used a different type of power supply.

Unfortunately, no. I would recommend adding a multi-outlet adapter if you need more.

You can, and I did. You'll have to upgrade the power supply that comes with this because the stock one was only like 200(ish) watt.

I believe you would power the fan splitter with the 3 pin power adapter plugged into one of your motherboards fan headers. However, with this configuration all fans connected to the splitter would receive the same amount of volts.

You should not. The adapter has a 15 pin (female) connector on one end. If you are connecting to a monitor... just make sure your cable is 15 pin male...

you have to have an 8 pin connection.If your power supply have a 4 pin only you can by a adapter,4 pin to 8 pin

You only need to use the splitter/power adapter cables that came with the card if your power supply doesn't have the proper cables. You should stick with the power cables from your power supply. There is no difference between the adapter cables and yours.

Also, make sure the power cord is properly seated into the adapter. Since the power cord is separate, it may not be pushed in all the way.

Yes,i connected mine,you just need one power connector with,6 pin on one end,8 pin on other end,i honestly can tell you that i have not tried running it without the power connector.

This should work.... Worst case scenario is you cut your plug off your old power supply and splice it onto this new power supply. I have purchased several of these and done just that since the connector I need is proprietary. It's hard to find high power 5v power supplies like this as I'm sure you have found out. Enjoy.

It should usually you can separate 2 of the male ends on the supplied power cords. Best bet is to just give a quick email to EVGA support

Philip is correct. Your need an additional 6 pin outlet from your power supply

I suspect that you could plug one of the USB cable into an external power source. The question is, "which one"! I would suggest trying the plug on the end to your computer first, then the 2nd plug, (the one with the short lead), to the power source. However, if this does not work, then swap the 2..... One of the plugs is for power only, (no data line in that one)..... However, when all else fails, add a cheap, 2 or 4 port "active" hub to your computer, then plug a couple of your other USB devices to the HUB.... This can cost less than $20.00 This wireless adapter works so well, adding a small hub still makes this adapter the ONLY way to go wireless!
