Miner_Guy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 So i dont need to put a silica gel or thermal paste on the cpu? What about the corsair cx500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You do, but it comes preapplied? Can you confirm that you haven't wiped it off or something? The cx500 is the power supply, not sure what your question is there.

Miner_Guy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 On this video: My linki am up to around 13:23 when he plugs in the power supply, i have done the graphics card plug and the 24 pin one but i cant do the other one, my one only has four pins and my plugs have 6 slots on my corsair cx500? Im pretty sure im doing it in the right place i dont understand what im doing wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Broken link edit: If you're talking about a 6 pin plug on your PSU which you need to plug in to a 4 pin socket to the top left/right of your motherboard, it's not that. There should be a 4 pin socket connector, if not there is a 8 one that splits in half.

Miner_Guy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ye i thinks i have to split an eight one do you know how to do that, do you just use force?

Miner_Guy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Can someone show me where the two power sw pins are so i can do the test to see if it works, a picture would help Edit: Found it and it works!

Miner_Guy Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Im doing the wiring and i have to say its proving to be very hard so many complicated words, i have done about 75% of it.For example does it matter which pins the usb things go into, or does it matter which does bit on the motherboard the sata data goes into. Also what are the uses for power supply wires are: optical drive, hard drive, two power bits on the motherboard, graphics card, controlling the fan and are there any others?

OldJoe Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The motherboard manual should say where the front connectors are, if that's what you're talking about. I don't know what you are trying to say about sata.

Miner_Guy Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Do i need a firewire for my pc as i dont think it came with it and i dont think there is a space for it on my mb unless it goes in com1 which i dont think it does. Thats the last thing before i see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You don't need to plug it in if you don't want to (I'm assuming you mean the front panel connector). The USB connectors are keyed, one pin is missing and on the wire connector there is no hole for a pin to go in, and from that you should figure out which header to plug it in to. Correct, those are the things that you have to plug the power supply in to. It doesn't really matter which SATA header you plug your hard drive in to.

Guy Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Your specs should handle BF3 on high/medium settings, IMO. RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Go for it. The recommended specs are stupidly high, I play on High 2xAA with ultra textures fine with my GTX 460. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
