Molex connectors!! 6x Hard Drives and 2x GPU's
Question regarding my HDX card -
My 5,1 Mac Pro from 2010 has 6 SATA slots (2x for the optical drives, 4x on the motherboard). I currently have 6 SATA hard drives occupying those 6x SATA slots.
I also have dual ATI Radeon 5770 cards, each requiring power from the molex connector on the motherboard.
Therefore, I am stuck with no remaining power for the HDX card. Since I'm unable to borrow from the SATA ports, what's the appropriate cable I need to send power from my Mac Pro motherboard both to the PT HDX card and the ATI Radeon GPU at the same time?
Or should I not do this and get an external power supply to power the HDX card instead?
