johnnyspice Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi guys, I want to fit a satellite tuner card in my gen8 that is powered by PCI express power. I was wondering if anyone has done this and what the suggested method would be? I could split the floppy connector which currently powers the sata boot drive or I could split the molex connector which I'm assuming powers the hhds? Any ideas? Kind regards, John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 You could do either. What is the power draw on the card and what else is in your system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyspice Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm not sure of the power draw, but other than the single ssd and a drive in each of the 4 bays, there's nothing fancy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 If the tuner is looking for an additional power connection its draw could be quite high. Something to watch for if you have issues after you install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
