Thanks for your help!

I'm looking for some upgraded ram, and can get a really good price on some 8gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance, DDR3 1866MHz, CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10R. This would go with an asus p8z68 v-pro, and i7 2600k cpu. I know the ram is overkill for this system. The ram is also quad channel, and my board I...

Just adding the end result, in case anyone else runs into this situation... Seasonic wrote back to me and directly gave me a link to order cables from their official distributor, which it turns out is the same company site I put a link to just above here. So I guess that is the best and only...

I'm definitely glad I asked, I didn't know the cables were that specific. I wrote to seasonic, so I'll see what they tell me. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. Yup, that's what I need. What are the differences between the same cable for different psu models? In this case, I would have figured a cable is a cable. Does that mean it's necessary to get the specific seasonic cable, and not anything else that just looks the same?

Like one of these: (shown as what came with the psu) http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image/skymtl/PSU_review/M12500/M12-20.jpg

Yeah, that's the main problem... I don't have any additional cables anywhere to be found. They should have come with the psu. And online, I can't seem to find a single 6-pin to 6-pin cable. They can't be that obscure? Where could I find 2 of those?

I'm installing a new graphics card, and I can't quite figure out the best way to get power from the psu to the card. The psu is a seasonic x-750. If it matters, the motherboard is an Asus p8z68 v-pro. The gpu came with 2 adapter cables, each is a 6-pin to 2x 4-pin molex (well, 3 actual pins)...

Well, this showed up immediately, as soon as I looked, at about 10 seconds after booting into the windows installation for the first time ever. I 'm not sure how there could actually be 600gigs of anything on the drive.

I will at least run CHKDSK tomorrow and see what I get. But any ideas why this might happen?

Well, there were none to be seen. When I put in the drive, it showed up as nothingness, just empty unallocated space. Windows install offered to make a partition out of the full space, which I did. Often I'll boot my linux live usb to check out a new drive before I do anything with it, just...

I just tried installing windows 7 on a 750 gig hard drive that I just got. During setup it showed as 698gb of empty unallocated space, as it should. I made just the 1 primary partition, and let the windows install go on just like normal. It finished, and looked ok. But then, I immediately...
