Stuck building pc

Goshawk · 15 Jan 2011 at 16:38

So I've got a haf-x case a p8p67 pro mobo a coisair hx 750w power supply radeon 6950 gfx card, ocz sata ssd and a DVD drive and I've hit a brick wall there's not enough slots to plug everything into

this is my first solo build and I've got no idea how it's all ment to go together I've followed user guides and I'm still coming up short

As in places to plus stuff into my mobo and such like

The psu has both 24 and 8 pins. The DVD drive seems to have nowhere to source power from( having to use an IDE to sata adaptor) the ssd hold on the haf-x has a 4 pin power section, cables I've got are 4x pci 8 pins 8x 4pin peripheral connectors and 2x floppy connectors

I now feel like a royal arse completely missed the extra power slots on the psu I'm a ****ing retard..... Stupid lack of sleep lol

well pretty much done now just need to plug the monitor into the mobo and install windows 7, then my Graphics card, then transfer all my old hard drive data over, then throw the old HD away for being old and crap, THEN sell my bits on ebay, one question i might as well ask though is, if im changing my 6950 to a 6970 with the bios trick when i Xfire it next week will i need to redo it?

Last question finished installing windows 7 and I get an error message of warning CPU temp high and it's at 87oc which is odd cause it's only just been turned on the fan is secure (hate the new attachment for it caused no end of hassle with 2 pins bending out) is this normal when u first start it or should I worry?

It's a sandy 1500k with the stock cooler and yeah pre applied paste cause it didn't come with any

Think it came from the mobo I'll refit the CPU and cooler again might look at a new cooler as that one seems average (although my case should do the job)
