I already own one of this, but my psu only has 1 8pin. Altough i have plently 4 pins avaliabe.Would it be ok to use 4 4 pin (4+4 &amp; 4+4) for crossfire?

I don't think the card will fit 4+4. Its designed for 6+2. The card comes with a 8-PIN to 4 PIN x2 Power Cable adapter. If for some reason you didn't receive these, you could order two of them from Amazon. They are, Dual Molex LP4 4 pin to 8 pin PCI-E Express Converter Adapter Power Cables. I hope this helps.

This has a 3 wire/3 pin connector you can plug directly into your motherboard IF your motherboard has an available "case fan" 3 pin connector. Not to be confused with a 4 pin PWM connector which is typically often labelled "CPU Fan" on the motherboard. Another alternative is to get a converter cable with 3 pin female on one end, and 4 pin "molex" on the other and plug into an available molex 4 pin connector if you have one of those available on your wiring harness coming out of the power supply. You CAN get an adapter cable to come off a 4 pin PWM connector to the 3 pin fan, and it should also work. 4 pin PWN is different than 4 pin Molex. Not sure what you are asking when you say "connect all on a single cable". Do you mean install all 4 fans in one pc and connect them all on the same power connection? The answer to that is you would want probably want to look at the specs for the power/voltage/current of the supply cable, and then calculate the load of the 4 fans to determine that. Probably yes....these don't draw a lot of power. But you'll most likely need a bunch of Y adapaters to do that. Also you may want to be aware that more fans in not always better....what you want is good airflow through the case. If you are just trying to connect 2 I'm pretty sure you can connect those off one line. I ran 3 off one line with no problem briefly until I installed a multifan controller -- then the controller plugged into one 4 pin molex for power and each fan plugged directly to the controller.Unlike Josh below, my 4 fan pack did not include any 3 pin to molex adpater...just the 4 fans with their 3 pin connectors. But another 80mm fan I bought from cooler master did come with 4pin molex to dual 3 pin connectors. You might have to buy some connectors depending on your options available in your box.

Yes. With the mobo you can actually use upto two pci-e cards like this in crossfire.

My power supply's have an 8 pin cable that breaks into 2, 4 pin connecters, so you'd only use 4 of the 8 pins

Would almost seem you know more about your board than me, if its got a pci slot or 2 then yea, and 2 can crossfire...

The power supply that comes with it is rated at 2.5 amps, so I would say that if the total draw is less then 2.5 amps then you would be good. The max you are supposed to draw per port is 0.5 amps, so times 4 would be 2.0 amps. It'll probably work even if all four on at the same time.

You should be able to plug a three pin into a 4 pin. Alternatively you could just rub them off the power supply with the right connectors.

AMD has moved to XDMA CrossFire, what this means is that all communication between crossfired cards occurs over the PCIE bus as opposed to seperate connectors. This has resulted in fewer frame time variances and less stuttering in crossfire configs.In short, Yes. Although you may want a beefy PSU.

You need a bigger power supply that can handle your motherboard and graphics cards and everything else as well as PCI slots some graphics cards are 2.0 so require 3.0 PCI so you can but need a motherboard that can this one only has one 3.0 PCI slot so you won't be able to use modern graphics cards in crossfire on it.

That would definitely be enough for 2 or 3 of these cards in Crossfire. 3 might be pushing it depending on the rest of your rig. I would suggest googling power supply calculator and checking your build if your are going with 3 cards.

I assume you mean power supply wattage. Recommended is 500 watts. If you are ever going to crossfire you you probably want at least 650. I have a corsair 500 watt psu with an overclocked fx 6300 and this card ocd to 1050 core and 1450 memory. Also have 1 tb hdd, blu-ray, card reader, and 8 gb 2133 ram. Everything runs great!

As long as it's coming from the PCIe rails then you're fine. I'm assuming you mean a 6pin and a 6+2 pin cable. As far as I know, there isn't just a 2 pin cable hanging around. It's paired with a 6pin

Actually on this you can actually make a lot of your connectors because I had to do it with a 4 pin and 12 pin that I have on my motherboard and my Corsair is still going strong! Hope this helps.

Yes, you need six pin power. Otherwise it will just lock up. I had that problem even though I had a six pin power plug in my old PSU but it was unable to meet the amperage requirement for this card on the 12V rail

Yup, three pin will go on 4 pin no problem just make sure you line it up right.

The 8pin cpu connector of this psu can be splitted in 4+4pin. So just split it then choose the one which fits your mother board

Yes sir. I am currently running 2 x AMD 7870's on it very nicely. The second PCI-E rail is even at 16x so should work fine with any crossfire set up.
