Hi guys,

Started my first build this evening and have gotten up to connecting up my PSU.
I have connected the 24 Pin and 8 pin conections, however i am confused as how my 3 cases fans connect up to it (P182)?
I am also having trouble connecting up my 8800GT, only one end of each PCI-e cable fits in the 8800 and the Corsair 520??

What am i doing wrong?
 
What connectors do the fans have!
If they have the small three pin then you could connect them to the motherboard fan
headers (if you got any spare) or straight into the PSU.

In regards to the GPU supply one end is 6 pin which goes to the PSU, the other end
which may have 8 pin this connects to the GPU, the last 2 pin hang loose as (I think)
the GT only has 6 pins.

Hope the above helps.

Cheers rob , got the 8800 GT in, The PCI-e had an off set catch so it wouldnt go in the PSU, so i had to sort that out. The Fans are molex 3 pin (large ones not the ones that go in the mobo), so i attached a perephial cable then a Y splitter wich is connected to the fans. One split has 2 fans connected to it in one pluged into another. Is this ok?
 
If the fans have molex connections then just use the PSU's molex connectors, they dont take up much power so you can loop them all on the same molex if you want.
 
I just connected my fans to the PSU as the P182 has speed controls on the case anyway.

The corsair comes with a fan adapter but you can just put them straight into a normal power lead (supplied with PSU).
