Basically i've now got my motherboard and all other components installed(exept for 7900GT because im still waiting for a replacement, i received a broken card!)
There's so many conections to make and i think i've got them all,
just want to know about the power connections to the motherboard(a Abit AN8-32X)
There are 3 that are listed in the manual:
A 20+4 connection which ive connected(ATXPWR1)
A 12v 4+4 connection where you can plug one of the 4s in(ATX12V1)
and a 12v 4pin molex auxilary connector(ATX4P1)
I want to know if all of the connection should be plugged in or only certain ones because the manual says:
This motherboard provides two power connections to connect ATX12V power.
and
The auxillary 12V power connector(ATX4P1) provides an additional power source for devices added on PCI Express slots.
Also how many 4-pin Molex devices is it safe to connect onto a single wire.(e.g. can i connect 2 fans and a HDD?)
Thanks!
