Thats how ive connect the power to the GPU, you can see in the ground where ive connected the HDD, that gose straight from the HDD to the MB. Im going to look at the ssd now. Any issue with what you see please let me know @orbitalwalsh
 
Am I suppose to be using both power cable from the PSU for the graphics card or just one cable but plug in both connectors off that one cable as I have in the picture above?

That's fine mate !

The sata data cable is single cable with plug each side and L shape groove, smaller then power slot though

Sorry, miss read. One SATA power cable can power 3/4 drives at once just fine .

Each one needs to have its own data cable though,

If one cable has TWO 6+2 pin connectors , which you've just done. Then it's fine . It's more neater that way

Don't worry about getting cable management perfect, just get everyone connected and powering up.

After you've gamed etc, then you can spend hours sorting cable management and never be pleased about it :)

Cheer mate, any idea what that cable above is for?

That SATA power cables provide power to the front panel of the cable. Plug it in to the SATA power plug cable that your drives are connected to

Cool, thats in.

Im not putting it in yet but the VR panel has 3 leads coming out the back of it, 2 x usb 3 and 1 x hdmi.

I have a HDMI on the other end of my GPU, can I use that for HDMI? and it looks like I need to put the USB leads in the actual sockets on the back so im not actually adding usb sockets just moving them from the back to the from so to speak, is this correct.

Nearly there ;)

Im ok, ive got a fire blanket handy (only kidding)


Ive just notice an issue. Ive got 2 power leads, one for the Monitor and one for the PC, they are both IEC plugs, one has a uk plug on the end but the other looksEuropean. Problem sis im not sure which came with the PSU and what came with the monitor?

Ive check all the boxes and polystirene for an adaptor but there isnt one??

Cheers Chaps, I will look through the boxes again.

I already move those sata plugs down earlier, not because I thought they were wrong but they would look neater underneath;)
