    Hello mates,

    I recently acquired, from e-bay, said card (EVGA GTX 460 SE) and a EXP GDC BEAST v8.3 with a DA-2 to power it. The issue right now is this, I haven't had any luck with the delivery of the custom PCI-E power cable needed to feed the card from the beast also I do not have any extra hardware available for this test, and I really need to check if these new pieces of hardware work, would you have any suggestions?

    The GTX 460 SE TDP is rated as 140w, which is the reason it requires 2x 6 pin PCI-E, the EXP GDC BEAST can only feed 75w through its PCI-E port. Do you think it could possibly be enough power to get the card recognised by the OS in order to just install the drivers?

    Cheers guys!
