Re: First gaming computer build, everything sound ok?
there's no CPU fan included in the deal, should I get one? if so any suggestions, just a fan, fan/heatsink combo? I don't see any screw holes on the motherboard or motherboard power plug in for one?
pardon the newbness hah I just want to make sure I get it all right |

Re: First gaming computer build, everything sound ok?
Ok I've got some cabling issues here as well, my graphics card for whatever reason did not come with the 4 pin power cable. Included(but not pictured on new egg) with my power supply was a new straight pci-e 6 pin(connects to power supply) to 8 pin connector cable,would it be ok to get this-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812887002 plug the 2 eight pin parts together, and plug the 4 pin into graphics card? I may in the future run dual cards, would this one cable be sufficient for the additional power connections on both the graphics cards? Or is there a adapter that will convert a 6 pin to a 4 pin that would enable me to use both power plug ins on the power supply? ehh I am confused and thanks so much for any help Last edited by DrummerMark19; 01-25-2008 at 01:04 AM. |
