Question 1

Does this require any extra power cables from your Power Supply to run or does it get all its power off of the PCI Express 16 connector?

Accepted Answer

It gets the power from your PCIe slot.  Now sometimes certain motherboards have power connectors onboard and are sometimes required to have power when multiple pcie slots are in use.
