LOL nevermind...
I started building this thing and I'm done except for some wiring. I can't figure out the 8 pin ATX power cable. I don't think I've got a cable that will connect to the power supply & the motherboard...?
You've probably figured this out already but if not, the 8 Pin should be two 4 pin molexes on the same rail that can either be connected or disconected to run in either 4 or 8 pin configuration.
Arggghghhh!H!h1hh!
I went to hook up the power supply, flip the power supply on, no LEDs. WHAT!? So I mess with it for the next couple of hours trying all sorts of stuff. I actually took it all down and removed the CPU to make sure the motherboard was fine. So I put it all back together and decide to open up my other PC to use the power supply from it. So I hook up only the 24 pin and 8 pin power connectors, voila power to the motherboard. So I remove the power supply and decide to try something else out. The 24 pin power cable also has a 8 pin connector on that end. So I hooked that up instead of the 24 pin plus the other 8 pin and it lights up the LEDs. So what does this mean? The 24 pin connector is bad or what? I'd like to know for sure because if so I'll go try to get one if possible...
Posted this earlier on another forum but not here.
Okay weird. The power cable has a 24 pin connector > motherboard. The other end has a 18 pin connector + 10 pin connector. Before I was just plugging in the 18 pin connector. A buddy came over to help me and found out I was doing that and needed to be plugging in both. BUT! The cable was ALSO ended up being bad, luckily he brought a bunch of Corsair cables with him so it's good now.
As of right now it's assembled, Windows 7 Professional x86 is loaded and I'm getting ready to transfer anything I need to my external HD and begin arranging my desk. After that I'll start loading up the new computer with programs.
Very nice, but you need a bigger screen to go with that baby!
Thanks for the help?
