Help? (Image Heavy)

[Essexraptor]

In a bit closer...I'm rubbish with a cam but you can see the same result as you have now

 

[Essexraptor]

Yes ... you should have a modular lead with some connectors that are about 30mm wide with a L shaped connector that fit into the back of the drive next to the blue one

 

[Essexraptor]

Just fit the big 24 connector whichever way then for the moment... Tidy it up with extensions when you have the thing going

 

[Maacck]

I do have one of those, there's 3 connection points on the 1 cable, does it matter which one I use?

 

[Essexraptor]

In this pic, before I swapped out the 2 5870's, you can just about see the front fan leads (little red wires) going out to the back to connect to that molex lead

Nope

Are these pics helping?

A tonne. Got the power into the HDD, and the other blue cable to the motherboard. But there's still one tiny slot. 4 tiny pins wide.

Case Front Panel Connectors

In your Image 1 you have a whole bunch of wires from the front of the case chucked over the top including the ones shown in Image 4

Feed all of these out the back at the top of the case as before

the black flat one ( about 12 - 14 mm wide) is your front eSATA connection and needs to go to a SATA connector on your MB

The connectors in Image 4 and the other one ( front usb connector) can go in through the nearest hole to MB and connect as already advised with consulting your manual

but should look something like this

Essexraptor - could you link me to the extension cable you have for your 8pin to mobo cable(top left next to CPU) - I need one badly and not sure what to buy - this is what ive found

6pin to 8pin

8pin to 2x 4pin

or (which I think is what you have)

Maacck - builds looking good, that antec 1200 would appear to have a whole world of room compared to my 902.

On the HDD? If so no worries it's a place to set jumpers for updating the drive firmware and no concern to us

 

[Maacck]

Also EssexRaptor, did your case come with a PWR LED cable, the tiny tiny one. Cause mine didnt.

The pic with the 2 5870's is 10 months old!!... it's a lot fuller now!!

Either of the last 2 extensions that you linked would do the job.. I'm using the last one in your list... cos it's cool according to my stepson!!!

EDIT

The first cable in your list is to convert a PCIe PSU lead to a 8 pin ATX because some PSU's have just a 4 pin ATX connector only

 

[Essexraptor]

Just the same as your Image 4... if you look at the case front you have NO led to show power on!

 

[Essexraptor]

The last image I have is for the GPU

Mine uses 2 x 8 pin connectors... yours needs 1 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin

These may be marked up PCIe on the cables? and sometimes have 2 pins split off so that it can be either or.

When you have re fitted the GPU fit them as shown below

 

[thingemajib]

dunno if anyones mentioned this yet, but image 3 is wrong. The cable plugged into your PSU does not go there (the one with a 6pin connector one end and two flat 4 pins on the other). They are used as converter cables for graphics cards. TBH with that power supply you shouldnt be using that cable at all. The only cables that plug into the power supply box are the ones that came supplied with the power supply itself.

I think he has ripped it all out and started from scratch to be honest

Yarp, Graphics card is out and im working on those 3 small connectors that link the front to the bottom of the MB. In the manual it shows signs of a positive(+) and a negative(-) yes on the connectors themselves it doesn't, only a small arrows notched on either side.

So I just put them in their places with the text point up.

There's also a Serial ATA black thin cable which i dont know where it goes :/

 

[Essexraptor]

Firstly my apologises to thingemajib

He is 100% correct and please remove that connector from the PSU shown in your Image 3... it's VERY wrong


Refer to my post No29

eSATA connector goes into the MB in one of your SATA connectors next to where you have connected the HDD (black thin SATA lead)

 

[Essexraptor]

To be honest the + and - have always confused me , but as a rule of thumb I always go with coloured wire as positive
