one thing guys, my 2 sata power leads i got with my corsair psu, one has 2 sata power connectors and the other one has 3, i am planning on using the one with 3 connections to power my 2 HDD's and 1 SSD, and the one with 2 connections on i was planning to power the optical drive with it, but i wont have anything else to take up the 2nd sata power connection, so does it have to be a certain one out of the 2 i plug in to the optical drive, leaving one sata power connection free on the lead?

also do i need different types of sata data leads for HDD's and SSD's? as the HDD's are 3gb/per sec and the SSD is 6gb/per sec?

You don't need to use them all, just the ones you need. They are all the same..

The ones on your PSU are SATA power connnectors, they provide the juice for the drives to work so there is no particular way around they need to be installed. So no need to worry there..

Just make sure you plug you SSD into a SATAIII (6gb/s) port on your motherboard.. :)

Im not sure, your motherboard WILL come with a blue SATAIII lead anyway so id use that for the SSD.

You can plug the red cable into the SATAIII port.. but you may aswell use the blue cable(s) provided.

Anything else. :D

just checking this cpu cooler i got
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-035-CM&campaign=social/forum/textlink

states on the website it is compatible with all these sockets
Socket Compatibility: 775 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2

how ever on the box it only states
socket LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775
SOCKET FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2

im a bit confused? can anyone clear this up as my motherboard is LGA 1150 :( ??

Thanks for that link as I will be building my own rig in a couple of weeks. TingTing44 just take your time with it I built my first one six years ago and was as scared as hell, I'm building my second in a couple of weeks and I'm still a bit scared its natural. Last time I got a lot of help from the great people on this forum. I live just across the water from you
