ATI 4870 Problem - Need another PCI-E cable

[Magic Lantern]

Hi,

I just installed an ATI 4870 into my 2008 Mac Pro, I need a second power cable to connect the card to the logic board, does anyone know exactly what cable I have to order?

I am in the UK, so if anyone knows where I can order one from the UK, I would be most grateful!

Thank you.

Thanks for the speedy response!

How about this fella:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PCIe-PCI-E-6-...df0ab8611270a0e202703fd0feca1507#ht_967wt_941

It says for 'Dual Quad Core G5' (Never heard of that before)...but the cable looks the same...

Works with any PCI Express-based Dual-Core or Quad-Core G5 Mac and all Intel Mac Pro machines and any MAC video card with starndard 6 pin power connectors

So yeah, it works with ALL Intel MPs. Sorry couldn't find anything from UK eBay

Here in US, this guy is a good choice:

I have bought from him before, ships really quickly.

He unloads excess inventory for ATI so the ones he is selling are the official ones, proper gauge wire, etc.
