My PSU has three dongles, two of which are available.
dongle 1 = 2 molex / 1 floppy
dongle 2 = 3 molex

I have to connect
2 CD drives
My OCed 9800pro
and my 12v D4 (pump)

Is it recommended to have the GPU on a dedicated dongle?
or can I pair it with the 1 more frequently used Optical Drive?

opinions are very welcome please....

I've been running my hdd and vidcard off of the same line for a while now. I have a Fortron 530W, so I'm not to worried about either of them not getting enough power.
Line= 1 dongle ;)
 
you should be able to use it with another drive or maybe a fan.... really it depends on the size of the psu and whether the rails are steady. If you by chance have a molex that's isolated then go with that.
