New build

I have had the 800d before and loved the case, had plenty of space , very tidy, and lots of cooling..
But to be honest never researched any more cases as i aas more than happy with the 800d
 
Just placed my order for the above (thanks stulid ) however I cannot remember if the obsidian came with extension cable for the power and gpu , and do I have to get a display port cable or is that supplied with the gpu card?

I think the 7970 has mini-displayport connectors, so it may come with an adapter or just use the DVI cable.


The case doesnt come with a 8pin extension, you may not need it.

If I remember righty I had to get and extension for the power... Does the 7970 have two power connectors per card? And would the psu I got supply that?

The 8pin ATX is 540mm long according to reviews it may reach, depend sI suppose how its routed through the back of the case.

The PSU does have four 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors (2 per card)
 
Yeah gonna order me one 24 pin extension just in case and I'm still searching for some half decent speakers for around £50 to compliment my setup , will post pics of it all when it arrives , hopefully Monday or Tuesday :)
 
Just brought all the above and I thought I set it up right , but when I go to turn it on , nothing happens, no lights or noise, nothing , what do you think I have done wrong?
 
Have you plugged the extra 8pin into the board near the CPU?

Have you plugged all power cables into the 7970's?

Does it start if you try and short the two pins that the power button normally does?

Clear CMOS?
 
The 8pin is in along with the 24 pin I have plugged the cards in one has a six pin and another 8 pins one on same card , my pci e cable has a 6 pin connector and another 6 pin with two other pins hanging off which don't seem to fit flush

Don't understand the bit about shorting
 
Use a screw driver tip to short the two pins on the board that the PWRSW connector usually goes to.

IS there any signs of life at all? any fans try to spin?
 
No life , no fans spin , the only thing that light up is the on button on the case, may think the tiny connectors may be put in wrong , bit confused with them
 
I have a powersw not sure if I put that in the right place , there's no writing on the motherboard for that just +pw- and +pw led - which Is a 3pin connector
