cool, thats done, now for the switches and led's

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:10

cant work out front audio and front usbs-diff names on connectors as to what is explained in mobo book-switches and led's done though-hopefully correctly!

gfx card now

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:13

lol, take a guess and cross your fingers and prey.

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:17

this gfx card is HUGE!!!!

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:21

yep, you got enough room in the case?

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:21

says in mobo nook to put power supply to mono for pci express if doing dual card/crossfire-is this power needed for one card?

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:25

nope, you don't need to put the molex on the mobo but you need to put the 6pin into the graphics card.

gives me 2 choices for my neg and pos for front usb- dy minus and plus or dx minus and plus, any ideas?

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:31

what exactley do you mean two options? two different sets of pins two choose from?

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:34

oh yeh i see, what are you trying to plug into it, the extra usbs on the front of the case? is it in one block or lots of different blocks?

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:35

yeah, i got power, ground, D-, and D+ from the front usb ports on case, but mobo has 2xpower pins, 2xground pins, the usb Dy-, usb Dy+, usb Dx-, and usb Dx+, i think any ground and power will do, but dont know the difference between Dx and Dy??

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:40

those pins are designed to except two usb devices, one lot on dx and one lot on dy, if you putting one device on it doesn't matter which one you put it on as long as you don't mix them.

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:40

sorry-its as above, in the same block, and there are 3 blocks like this

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:41

aaahhh, keep both replyin at same time!!!!

i'll just use Dy on 2 diff blocks to distribute then

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:43

yeh that should be fine

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:46

right, getting close now!!
just gotta connect hdd, and optical, and power to mobo!

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:48

am i righ in sayin that its just the 24 pin connector to mobo (no need for 4 or 8 pin too)????

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:50

there an atx 12v 2x 8 pin slot on the board, but a grommet stuck in 4 of the holes already???

Edward01 · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:52

plug the 24 pin one in and some mobo have 8 pin for cpu power, yours has 4 holes plugged up so just whack the four pin power cable in

seretide · 16 Mar 2007 at 03:58

k, shall i leave both my optical drives jumped on cable select-or master and slave them? (only connecting 1 first off)
