So I'm building a cheap gaming rig for my friend, It's an old IBM X3400 I got for free and I was going to add in a GTS450 that I also got for free my problem is 1 it only has PCI-E 8x and 2 it only has molex and I need a 6pin is it safe using dual molex to 6pin and is running a 16x card in an 8x slot safe?
You're using an old server as a gaming rig? Why?
It was free

1. Riser (PCIEx1 -> x16)
2. Yes, it's relatively safe.

SOMEONE CALL 911!
yeah, just make sure that the PSU can handle the fermi.
Also the card will be running x8 only, so it may be bottlenecked a little. May or may not, because it's not even a fast card.

He has PCIe x8 so it fits perfectly, no need for riser
