Yea, it's best to have native PCI-E and 24-pin but there are converters that would allow you to use it.

Just be aware that the Molex to PCI-E converters require TWO 4-pin Molex and different leads, so you would effectively need 4 leads to power 2 PCI-E cards (could probably do it with less, but not recommended).

You can ignore that, it does use the 4-pin Molex for power. So you'll just need one for each card.

Most PCI-E cards use a different connection that's 6 pins. Didn't look closely to see exactly what that card uses.

If it uses the 6pin PCI-E connection, usually they come with an adapter that uses 2 4-pin molex connections to make the 6-pin PCI-E connection.

If you ever get a card like that, you can buy the correct cables to match the XConnect PSU cables.

that is where you connect the SLI bridge... to link the two cards in SLI.
