OCZ ProXStream 1000W

I know this is an old thread. But it is the perfect place for my question I believe.

I built a computer with this power supply in 2008 for a friend. It has been running great. The video card finally died and I got him a great upgrade(ASUS Radeon RX 580 STRIX). I failed though. I assumed the power supply had the correct connection for this new card. Alas it only has a 6 pin and I need a 8 pin connection. Can this power supply wiring and rail support a video card that will max out 220w on the pci-e rail if I use a 6pin to 8 pin adapter? Or 2 6pin to 1 8pin adapter?

What PSU exactly?

What PSU exactly?

This exact power supply this review and thread is tied too: OCZ ProXStream 1000W


edit:

Its got 2 separate 6pin pcie and from everything I have read a 2 x 6 pin to 8 pin adapter should provide enough power 840 watts need 220 peak. And using both separate pci-e lines should mitigate any wire heating on the ground side. I just thought in the thread for the review I might get that confirmation.

Thank for the speedy response. I expected a many hours maybe even days wait. Also thanks for the welcome. I guess if this works good with stability then the review is true about supporting future cards.

I mean...... its power... and a standardized connector... predicting it would work with future cards isn't exactly seeing the future.

There was some discussion about it in the thread. My comment was aimed at that conversation. But yeah generally one can assume it would handle future cards.
