Connecting the GTX 670?

[jediarron]

So it has a 6 pin connector and an 8 pin connector.

Does the PCI express (6 pin connector) cable with 2 extra pins go into the hole of 8?

And which cable from the Power Supply goes into the 6 pin connector? 😵

u need to put this cable in gpu http://techreport.com/r.x/psus-0907/pcie-connectors.jpg
and other connect to power supply http://www.exportprive.com/17888-5466-large/adaptator-molex-to-pci-e-8-pins.jpg

Hi

You need a 6 pin and a 8 pin, the 8 pin may be a 6+2 like you mentioned.

So you need to connect the 6+2 into the 8 pin socket and you then need an additional 6 pin cable.

If your Power supply doesn't have an extra 6 pin cable you will need a molex to 6 pin adapter which may have come with the graphics card as part of the accessories.

Just a warning: if your power supply doesn't have the correct cables it may not be powerful enough for your graphics card, do you know which make and model the power supply is?

Corsair 650W TX V2

It has a 6 and 2 cable (which I put in the 8 slot)

It has another 6 and 2 cable (which I put in the 6 slot)

Does it matter if I don't do anything with the 2 left over? Or is it not supposed to be like that?

Additionally, would you be able to tell me where all the other cables go? xD

I have no clue, everything is installed.

You've done it right

Just leave the extra 2 pins dangling down

 

[monu_08]

no you will fine go for it u connect ted all cable to gpu now run it

I can't run it yet buddy 😀

This is my first build, and I have to figure out where all the other leads from the Power Supply go hehe

 

[monu_08]

then use the power cable of gtx 670 box u got 2 of it one 6 pin and another 8 pin connect them

He's done that man, he's got to connect the 24 pin, 4/8pin EPS, Sata. molex ETC...

 

[monu_08]

make sure u have connect all power cable to mobo to run system

 

[jediarron]

Yeah 😀

Well 24 pin is in.

How severe to airflow is it if my Graphics card wires are like this?

I can't see your image, but just try and make your cables as neat as possible, use some cable ties and route cables behind the motherboard tray if possible.

 

[monu_08]

well yes u have connect it and u also have corsair 400 r carbide i think so check this one for make sure u connect all these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Acer_E360_Socket_939_motherboard_by_Foxconn.svg

Try this

The thing is, the two 6+2 pin connectors can't really go to the right side of my case (which is behind my motherboard) so what do you suggest I do? I just run them (currently) from my PSU to the 670

 

[monu_08]

well you are fine to run them just close the cabinet door and njoy

 

[Rustyy117]

Can you do it like this, see the red arrows, So the cables go behind the mobo tray and come back out in the gap between the mobo tray and 5.25" drive bay cage?

If not then its not a big deal, just a suggestion if you have enough space behind the mobo tray

Heh, I was actually thinking about that. But then I thought 'meh it won't make any difference'
I will do it. How the hell do I disconnect the PCI express cables?

They're stiff as hell... xD
+ Nice diagram.

Here's the rest of the wires;

There's like little clips on the PCI-E cables, just push down on them and pull towards you

😉

 

[monu_08]

it look like u got a good p c but u know nothing about it it just like monkey handed a sword lol

Any cables that you don't need try and cable tie them together and leave them next to the power supply, or you could try and cable tie them to the back of the mobo tray if there is enough room.

Cable management is a pain, but is alot easier if you plan out where each cable goes and the best route.

Finally got them out, really stiff. If you have any spare time could you advise me on where the other stuff goes? Hehe, do you have Skype or something?

I started building this yesterday, still am not finished 😀

 

[monu_08]

omgitzfatal dont give some advise he know nothing unless he will damage the inside part let them free with his no cable management because he just want to run system
