He has a Dell powersupply, I doubt it had a 6 pin connector. He will need to find two free 4 pin molex connectors from his powersupply or a splitter or an adapter I guess?
I assumed from the post on the hardforum thread about his computer that the Sparkle card would work easily since the other guy had used it in the same Dell system. (

I am running Crysis on high graphics and the peak temperature I recorded on Core#3 was 52C. So I am not having any of the heat issues that noble is getting. I have the Quad Q8200 for reference.

I hope I haven't led him astray.
I assumed the stock PSU had molex connectors but that may not be the case. Since that guy said he used it on the stock PSU, there must be a way to connect it.
If you install it like this, I would also remove the expansion card slot covers at the back to improve ventilation for the videocard.
