Dale the link comes up empty for some reason

 

To the OP, yes it needs a 6 pin power cable

 

The Inspiron 520 -531 or 530 system from Dell did not come with a proper power supply that will have enough 4 pin power input connectors. Since your system does not have enough 4 pin connector's available, the below solutions will help you with the video cards that will need two 4 pin connector's

Below link takes you to a site that sells a Molex power cable that will work for your system. Its a 6 pin to 4 pin connectore that eleminates the need for two 4 pin connections, only need one. The 6 pin end goes into the video card, and the other end ( 4 pin side ) goes into a free available 4 pin power input that comes from the power supply.

Or…..

A SATA to 4 pin adaptor to convert those unused SATA connectors on your PSU to the 4-pin Molex connector instead.
