Does this thing need two 6 pin PCIe power adapters or will a 6+2 work with it? My current video card uses molex, so I'm out of the loop with this new standard.

If I remember correctly, you do need a 6 pin PCIe power adapter. I'm not sure if a 6+2 would work.

Pretty sure you can get a splitter to go from a single 6 pin plug to a dual 6 pin or some other sort of conversion.

I'd also like to point out that Leomhan thought he could plug his monitor into his serial/com port and got angry when it didn't work. So take any advice from him with hesitance.

USE THE FORCE!

Congrats. Don't slack off on studying shit though, alot of people wash out of the training. Usually happens due to lack of regulatory knowledge, from what I understand.

I've been hearing both. If you have any questions about anything, you can ask me or I can direct you to my friend. Either way, good luck.

Thanks. I'm actually trying to get a job as a RPO at Cleveland Center until I can get in to the controller program.
