XPS 8910, spare 8 pin connector?

Thank you! We have received the required details. We will work towards a resolution via private messages to ensure the security of your information. In the meanwhile, you may receive assistance or suggestions from the community members as well.

The easiest way to answer your question is to open the case and look. The real question you should be asking is whether or not the full-size graphics card that requires an 8-pin supplementary power connection you are considering can be adequately powered by the stock 460-watt power supply that comes with the XPS 8910.

Will do, just thought if someone knew the answer off the top of their head I could avoid the hassle and potential for something to go wrong, knowing my luck something probably would  .

The recommended system power is 450W, with the PSU being 460W. It's pretty close and am waiting for advice through other support channels, just came here wondering this.

Thanks. 

There is no such thing as a SPARE 8 pin PCI-E power connector.

8 Pin is 2X  6 pin and implies 225 to 300W video card

Thanks speedstep, main concern was if there the PSU has anywhere to accept new connections because it's a prebuilt PC.
