First Build Progress - Need some help

BSmith · 16 Jul 2009 at 16:27

Hey. I'm in the process of building my new rig, and I've come across some problems, so i need some help please.

I have the UD5 (Antec 1200), and its asking to connect the Northbridge fan to the connector, but i don't have a extra fan. Is this a optional feature?

(I will be posting here for other problems i come across, thanks a lot.)

some motherboards do come with optional northbridge fans, on mine it said to only install the northbridge fan if watercooling the CPU. So I didnt bother installing it

I have the Corsair 750HX Modular, and it has two different power cables to the Motherboard. I've connected the very big one to the motherboard, but what about the 4pin one?

Read your motherboard manual. Carefully.

Connect both of those. Ideally the 8 pin cpu power cable rather than a 4 pin, but if you only have a 4 pin cable it wont matter much. Goes between the heatpipes and the back panel, near the cpu socket

It's a 24pin and a 4pin. So i need to connect both? The 4pin is really messy in the 1200, It's not long enough.

Yea you need to connect both, else it won't boot

if it's too short you need an extension.

something like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-022-AK&groupid=701&catid=48&subcat=153
