tinkugadu · 07-13-2008, 10:43 AM

i am building a new comp. i am using the Cosmos 1100 Case and the ASUS P5Q motheboard and a Corsair 750W supply. I am confused regarding how to give connections from the power supply to the board and the case.

The case has a 24 pin connector and power supply also has a 24 pin .

has anybody used a Similar combination in building. Can some body tell me how to connect them.

I am using a 3870X2 graphics card. Which PCI-E slot the Board should i be using.

Please respond. Your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you

when you say the case has a 24 pin and the power supply has a 24 pin have by any chance got this mixed around with the motherboard. As the 24 pin from the power supply connects into the 24 pin connection on the motherboard.

I usually use the PCI-E slot nearest to the CPU as this is the master slot (i think) and the other PCI-E slot is a slave slot (again i think)

thank you

I Know that i have connect the 24 pin on the motherboard to the Powesupply. My Case also has a 24 pin Connector. My confusion is where am i supposed to plug it in?

Case - Cooler MAster 1100
POwer Supply - Corsair 750
And Motherboard - Asus p5Q

Any idea how to give connections

Are you talking about the front panel connector?
Or if you can find it in the manual can you tell us what page it's on?

It is in page 10 under cable management the 24 pin mother board connector. the case has a motherboard connector. there is only one 24-pin slot on motherboard.

i think i choose the wrong PSU also. iam confused about the connections between the PSu, case and motherboard.

Any site has any pictures on how to do the connections.

wrench97 · 07-13-2008, 01:06 PM

Now I can't get to the manual. Where does the connector on the go? Is it just a jumper to make the main PSU cable longer?

wrench97 · 07-13-2008, 01:24 PM

Lets try it this way. Is this the connector your talking about?

tinkugadu · 07-13-2008, 01:39 PM

yes it is the same connector

wrench97 · 07-13-2008, 01:42 PM

One end plugs into the motherboard the other end plugs into the 24 pin power supply cable.

Thank you very much

Let us know how you make out with the build.

tinkugadu · 07-13-2008, 07:24 PM

i am working on it. First thing, i could not get the freezer pro 7 cooler stick on motherboard. So i had to use the retail fan that comes with the intel processor. i am a newbie in building. So i am still working on it.

They can be hard to get on if you want to try it maybe now that you've mounted the stock
cooler it maybe a little easier if you do fasten one side then diagonally accross the other side then back to the first side.
