Connecting the supplemental power connector

Last Update: 2009/07/28

The supplemental power connector is required on some graphics cards.

There are two types of power connectors on some graphics cards today, on AGP cards, it would be a standard molex connector, on PCIe cards, it will be in the form of a PCI Express connector. This needs to be plugged directly into the powersupply.

On the PCIe card, both of the molex adapters need to be plugged into the powersupply.
