WANT! I love getting new hardware.

PROBLEM!!!!! :mad:

the power supply is in the bottom of the case, and the motherboard is inside, but the 4 pin cpu power connector doesnt reach the socket on the motherboard????????????????? help

reflux · 24 Mar 2009 at 11:34

Is the 8-pin any longer? You should be using that, not the 4-pin tbh

eggcup · 24 Mar 2009 at 11:37

its only a 4 pin socket on the motherboard, but the lead off the supply is a 8 pin split into 2. :confused:

damn

, that's always a possibility with the bigger cases, looks like you'll need one of these

hmm thanks, just on the phone to a competitor now to see if they have any, but the guy on the phone sounds like a retard

sometimes its just luck these things are sent to test us

Guardsmon · 24 Mar 2009 at 12:30

pop down map***s in town. you can pick up 4 pin extension cords pretty cheap and you can have it working today.

Hope you managed to get free shipping with that

What did you go for in the end?

I'm just specing a £1500 comp which seems like best bang for buck but if i had an extra £1000 i was spending i would probably go for this. Seems a VERY nice system actually

This should last a good 4-5 years with ease. Case is the one im having. Own a V1100 and after owning i will never buy from anyone else but Lian-Li, Shear brilliance.

EDIT: You brought haha, sorry, but i think this would've been a nice system

Guardsmon · 24 Mar 2009 at 13:12

formatuk - its a nice spec you've got there but if you look up he's already bought the parts and posted pictures...

Ben M · 24 Mar 2009 at 13:14

edit: it would seem that you already bought it.

No it's not, it's an 8-pin with half the socket covered. Remove the socket cover and use the 8-pin plug.

Tis true. I was thinking I didn't know what the motherboard is I don't know the spec, but a look at the picture would confirm this.

You definately want to run that 8pin connection to the motherboard. It should reach.
