V2000+ Problem

caeteez · 14 Feb 2007 at 13:26

Hey all,

Got my V2000+ yesterday and have built my system into it now.

However, the major problem is that I cant fit my 2nd gfx card. The PCI-X power cable is too short. It will not reach at all.

I have an Enermax Liberty 500w. Can you get longer PCI-X cables? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Other than that, great case, built really well.

Thanks.

ps. Sorry if this should be in the PSU Forum, but I thought I could use some case experts knowledge. Maybe someone else had this problem?

Its not a PCI-X cable your after. Its called a P4 power cable. I can't point you to it unfortunately as it would be a competitor, but they shouldn't be too hard to find. Also you sure your GPU is using PCI-X, sure its not PCI-E?

Im running x1950 Pro's in Crossfire. They take the 6 Pin. Yeah they are PCI-E Cables.

Would be a solution then.

Ive also had to mount my PSU with the Fan facing down into the PSU Support. Will this restrict its airflow badly/at all?

Shouldn't affect it too much tbh.

Oh right nice, thanks for your help mate.

No problem. I expect pics when your finished building it though.

The only prob i have with the V2000+ is the extreme size of the beast. When you dont NEED that many hard drive bays, having a tower that is 61cm tall and 62cm long is excessive IMO (short of use for EXTREME water cooling, or internal phase)

I'm prob going to go with the PC-A10B, almost 10cm shorter, same no of external 5 1/4 bays, bigger than the V1000+ by a small margin, and no worries about loosing drive bays with larger PSUs (plus, can take 2x PSU!).
