Need ATI X1900 internal power cable

Hi all,
A friend gave me an ATI X1900 video card but didn't have the internal power cable for the video card. I have a Nov. 2007 Mac Pro that already has an ATI X1900. I would like to add this "new" ATI X1900 as a secondary video card.
Where can I get the needed power cable? Is there any else I need to watch out for?
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Is there any else I need to watch out for?
High power cards, such as the ATI X199, should be used only in slots 1 or 2. Slots 3 and 4 are for low power cards.

Need internal power cable

Hi,
I wish to install a USB 3.0 expansion PCIe card in my early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1). The card has a 4 pin Molex power connector; I think it's same connector one finds for power on a parallel IDE drive. I believe I need to connect this to the 6 pin connector on my motherboard? Anyone know where I can get a cable?
(PS: I posted this earlier, by mistake, in the iMac forum. So this is a duplicate posting. Apologies!!!)

Mac Pro 3,1 is the 2008 model with Molex connectors.
Mac Pro 4,1 is the 2009 model with SATA cabling ONLY, so it would require a different cable.
After powering off, the Optical drive enclosure is really easy to remove halfway to inspect and/or disconnect the cables (no fasteners required). Once the cables are disconnected from the drives, it can be completely removed and you can stretch out the cables and see if they will fall short, and estimate how much more would be needed.
I am sure 72" is far more than you need -- they may even reach already.
Thanks, Grant. I will examine the connections. My project is to add USB 3.0 card reader or other devices to the PCI expansion card I'm planning to get.
Do you know if there are two separate DVD/CD drive power cables in the stock Mac Pro 3,1 or just a single with a Y cable between them? That is the model I have. If only one cable of the two used there, can stretch out the other one, then I'd be golden- nothing to add.
However, I suspect that there is a Y cable there for the second DVD drive, so I would need to connect to it and extend it down to the PCI card residing in the X4 PCIe port. Yes, 6' is overkill but I can eat some up by routing the cable neatly, the rest will bundle. Probably 48" would be sufficient. That costs more to make than it is worth.
When I take it apart, I can post pictures for anyone interested. FYI, recently put in an external antenna for the BT antenna to prevent/minimize interference with USB 3.0. Made a big improvement in level of the trackpad reception, too. USB crosstalk should be reduced and cable pickup will be reduced with the RF suppressors I used on the extension cable from the USB card reader to the card.

ATI-4870 Diamond Power Cables - Where oh where?

I am tiring to put an ATI-4870 Diamond into my MAC Pro, the ATI-X1900 that is being replaced only uses one PCI power cable. I need to get one more. If you look careful, you will see that MAC Pro's have a smaller PCIe power block on the mother board, and the connection to the X1900 is a normal sized 6-pin block.
Please, help me find one of these special 6 pin power cables.

The Apple version of the card should have come with two cables. If it isn't the Apple version, it won't work with OSX.

Mac Pro international power cable

Hello everyone, I am currently abroad, but would like to purchase the Mac Pro via the UK online store to be able to profit from student discount (I study in the UK). I realize that if I order the Mac Pro in the UK store, it will come with a UK power lead. Given that I am currently abroad, is there a way to buy the power lead for my specific country (I don't know if it's a good idea to run the Mac Pro through a plug converter 24/7)?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You just need a pin converter and it's alright to use.

PCIE power cable doesn't fit!

I didn't get a convertor with my MSI6800GT, as it was a demo sample, but my PSU supports 6 pin output, I did however get a cable thrown into the box at a last minute, which doesn't produce enough power.
Cable 1:
Normal ATI X800 pcie power cable, only fills two of the 6 pins in the 6 pin output, so doesn't produce enough power.
PSU 6pin cable:
doesn't fit! The pin right under the attachment thing is square, on the other cable (which fits but doesn't have enough power) that's rounded and that fits fine.

neuron,
How about listing your specs and post some pix of the hardware in question.
Take Care,
Richard

Replacement TC Power Cable part number

We are moving to the USA and need to get replacement power cables for our Mac equipment. Is there a part number available for the Time Capsule US power cord please?
Thanks

I tried this for our Magsafe power supplies for our Macbook Pros. The Apple store said we would have to by the whole Magsafe power supply. I have found the US power cables for the Magsafe PS on eBay. But they are coming from China
Thanks

Hard drive power cable

I bought a graphite imac and need a hard drive power cable.Will any cable from a slot loading crt imac work?Whats the part #?I do have one for a tray loading imac but its different.Thanks!

Nope I'm wrong. It appears to be the same width as a SCSI cable at the logic end (I've got a SCSI and it plugs in fine) and IDE on the HD end.
You could actually make it work with the IDE part of that tray loaders cable. I have both there and will test if you like. Only the HD would work.
I may have some spares here if you need one.

PCI Express Power Cable for ATI X1900 XT

I was given a X1900 ATI but the card didn't come with the power cord (booster cable) that connects to the motherboard. I'd like to order one but have no idea what I need to get. I know it's a 6 pin to 6 pin connection but that's it. Anyone would know where I could find the right info? I tried ATI/AMD but they only show the old power cable (4 pin inline).
Thanks.

hey Renaud
i'm planning to buy a pair.. but i'm not sure if it will fit....
one end plugs into the motherboard.. the other end goes into the vid card
but the question is does it fit the Mac Pro pci express power socket?
and the other end of it does it fit any standard pc vid card? or is it also smaller?
as i plan to buy this for my Mac Pro so i can power up the 8800 gtx
thanks!

Hi,
It does not need power cable. It use power from its pins:

I live in the US but am moving to the UK. I have a iMac and want to know if I can just exchange the power cable or will I need a transformer to be able to use it there?

I have had my iMac for about a year and have just found out that I am moving to the UK from the US. I want to take it but I don't want to damage it. Can I just get a replacement power cable in the UK (like the international switchable plugs for iPads) or will I have to use a step-down transformer? Thanks

Just the plug-end needs changed. I the UK you should beable to find the cord that plugs into the back of the iMac and has the correct wall-end.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,

Extra power cable needed for a SATA drive in a G4 AGP "Sawtooth"?

If one adds a SATA controller card and a SATA hard drive to a G4 AGP "Sawtooth", will a power cable like the one at the below link be needed, or would the necessary power cabling ordinarily come with the drive?
[http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro%20Accessories/SATAPAY>
-John

Thanks for the additional information, japamac.
That would be Left (or right angle 270º) for the data cable.
Which of the below data cables would be more appropriate, the 18" long one or the 39" long one?
[http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro%20Accessories/SATA18L>
[http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro%20Accessories/SATA39L>
Power connectors would be a left angle 90º to get wires going up.
I found the below two (the first is the same one linked near the top of this thread):

Is it okay to have one of the ends of a "Y" cable remain unconnected? I've done that with my existing ATA power cables, but I wanted make sure that that is also okay with the SATA power cables.

Need to ID G4 part:socket came off logic board (blue & white power cable

In the course of disassembling a G4 iBook the socket for the blue & white power cable wiring harness broke off the logic board.
I am trying to learn the correct desciption of this part so I can find a replacement. The wires on the bottom which were soldered to the board broke off.
Even after it was broken off, and I had leverage, I had to use two pairs of pliers to get the plug out of this socket. It should never have been assembled so tightly.

Spud-- I'm going to use conductive epoxy; I don't have access to anyone with micro soldering skills.
re previous posts -- unfortunately the Search logic is not precise enough to ask about this particular connector. Any search containing "logic board" gets swamped with the famous failure issue.
I went to an electronics specialty store and they didn't have any connectors of that style, let alone size. I'd like to replace the socket so I can use the existing plug on the blue & white wire.
Last night I spend some hours surfing "connector" etc and didn't see any photos that matched it on any distributor/manufacturer sites. So I'm still wondering what the correct descriptive word is, as used in the trade.
My "backup" iBook G3/Panther is taking about 30 seconds to load an average web page though. Spinner locks it up while loading one at a time. Wonder if installing Tiger and a newer Safari would help? I just got a chip to max out the memory, still have to install it.
For those who haven't seen it, the plug is a solid rectangle with two holes; the socket has a rectangular single cavity with two prongs sticking up from the bottom. TINY, THIN prongs.
The socket bottom has no leads on it (anymore). They are broken off flush with the plastic on the bottom. I was thinking of using a dental burr to grind into them, creating a small cavity, and then using conductive epoxy. I don't know if the bottom plastic is thick enough; if I go too far then it would ruin the prongs sticking up in the cavity.
But I could epoxy a wire stub, as long as possible to still fit into the space above the board & below the top of the shield/case. Then epoxy each wire to the pad on the board. The pads are about 1 mm x 2 mm or less, and worse, the gap between them is under 1mm wide. I'll have to goop some insulating silicone putty in that gap before putting tiny dabs of epoxy on the pads.
I bought some larger socket/plugs at the store, the socket part has no leads in it though. These sockets are they type that use the wire lead of the style shown in your photo of the repaired plug. I also got some different ones with flat prongs.
I'd like to move the connection point from the board to under the case top -- the blue & white wire runs all the way from the other side of the case. I just need a thin enough connector. Worst case -- leave as much slack wire length as possible and solder a Western Union splice.
If I can epoxy leads to the board without shorting between the pads I can figure something out. Need to carefully estimate the space available. Or as you say, just make some prongs.
You say #26 is the right wire gauge -- that's vital data. I don't want to undersize the power leads !
I'm also going to paint non-conductive coating on the board around the pad area, so I can slop the epoxy without worrying about shorting a trace. I've had to do some scraping to remove the gummy gluey stuff -- I presume its silicone adhesive of some kind.
There is some sort of test connection right above this area, with two little prongs sticking up. Marked "J1." The traces look like they go to the socket. I wonder if they use that to use alligator clips to power up the board during assembly testing? That location is much, much larger than the pads for the socket.

Replacement power cable for ATI Radeon 5770?

I'm shopping around for a replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro and I've found several Radeon 5770s that don't have the PCIe power cable included.
Does anyone know what sort of cable they use and if replacements can be purchased?

yes it can be purchased but first, you are shopping for an Apple version, right?
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC742ZM/A
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-ATI-Radeon-5770-MC742ZM/dp/B003Z6QH6M/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6615718/
OWC shows the cable, they also sell separately (maybe why they charge more?)
Amazon had customer photos but not showing one.
I was under the impression that Apple would/was including the cable.
