Hi guys new to the forums, I would appreciate any help given and advice would be most welcome, first i will share my specs of my new build...
CPU: Intel Core Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0 Ghz
GPU: EVGA 8800 GTS 640 mb
250 seagate sata HD
2 gig crucial ram
as you can see on the pictures one of them is of the cables located in the Case, notice the "20+4 Pin connectors" called EVGA just to confirm if these 2 connectors are joined together then simultaneously inserted into the MOBO (which is the other picture), the EVGA rep said yes, these two connectors the 20 and 4 showed in the case picture with lines drawing them together both go connected into the MOBO, is this right? or do I just plug in the 20 pin connector? and leave the 4 pin conn. dangling?
My other question has to do with the MOBO CPU power Connector, Notice it is an 8 PIn connector on the mobo, but the PSU connectors in the case only produce a 4 PIN connector, i hear it is simple as buying a 4 to 8 pin converter, can I do this? or should I just plug in the 4 pin connector, I hope I didn't confuse some of you guys
but I'm not worried I'm sure you guys understand this stuff, I hope my inquiries will help other Modders as these questions are flying all over the internet, I tried searching still can't get some definitive answers, hope you guys can help me, oh and is 500 WT enough to run this bad boy, just wondering thanks
