im planning on getting at least 1 8800 GTX...

question is i noticed the 8800's have 2 power connectors??if so do you connect 2 to them? Also if I went SLI 8800, this power supply only has 2 6pin pciE adapters, then what??

thanks guys!!

Since this PSU has a single monster rail, it's not too big of a deal with only having 2 PCIe connectors. With just one, you will connect both of them to the 8800GTX. WHen you go SLI, you will have to get splitters (might come with the card)

Then use the splitters to hook each line to both cards. Probably doesn't matter, but still a good idea to do it that way (so that each card is still connected to both PCIe connectors)

can you post a link to what you mean...

i have seen ones with two 4-pin molexs connecting to the 6 pin, it that what you mean?

if so, do I connect both molexs to the 6-pin or is that meant for 1 in and 1 out?

you connect both molexs to outputs of the psu. Yes these cards suck a LOT of power!
