Ok, I got a 2 pin Power LED cable in a 4 pin case (like the ones you plug into the PSU, with 2 empty spaces for 2 of the pins) with just a male adapter. I also have 4 fans with the same except they're all 4 pin in a 4 pin case with male and female connectors (split to 2 connectors m/f). Do I link all of these to the psu separately (not using the female end) or do I link them all together?
The way I have it set up right now is 2 cables from psu. 1 for PWR LED, and the other that goes to fan1, which connects to fan2, and so on...
I was also curious why the 9 pin(with 1 useless pin) connector on the motherboard has 9 (4x 2p + 1 useless) pins and my case has the little 2 pin female connectors for PWR, RESET, HDD LED, but no PWR LED. It is instead a bigger 2 pin adapter which is supposed to be connected to the PSU??
Now just 1 more.... My 8800gtx video card has (2) 6pin power slots right next to each other, and my psu came with (2) 6 pin -> 6 pin + 2 pin adapters.
Do i connect just 1 of them from the GPU to the PSU or both?
If just one, which one of the GPU.. closest or furthest from the back panel?
What do I do with the extra 2 pin connector?
Right now I have the 6 pin end connected to the PSU, and the other 6 pin end with the 2 pin connected to the video card with the 2 pin connected to nothing. This is connected to the furthest point from the back panel on the video card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to try to get all of this right before I power it up.
