XPS 8500 Power connectors?
Waiting on my delivery but plan on upgrading graphics. What are the power supply connections provided by the stock power supply on the XPS 8500? I have it configured with the AMD 7510 card and I plan on replacing with an EVGA GTX 660. Will I have enough power connectors?

If you search these forums, you'll find a bunch of threads about the GTX 660 video card in an XPS 8500. I suggest you read through those. :emotion-5:

OK I see I've got 2 6 pin connectors free (P7 and P8) so I should be fine with the video card. Any idea on the SATA power? I have one free SATA type connector P3 (same as going into HD) but it has 2 rows of 5 wires. The power going to existing HD has 1 row of 5 wires. Does this mean I can use a Y splitter to get more SATA power connectors?
Same with connector to optical drive, it has 2 rows of 5 wires, can I split that as well?

Sorry, I dunno about the 2 rows vs 1 row. Somebody else will have to answer that for you.
