Yeah, my motherboard came with 2 of them but both of them are being used for my dvd drive and hard drive.
I have a sound card in the computer that I am using now and wondered is it worth putting in my new machine? How much would it help out performance wise? My motherboard supports 8.1 channels. I wouldn't mind keeping it with this machine so I have a better chance of selling it.
I added a second hard drive right below the first one. Is this going to be a problem with air flow? Really there isn't any where else I can put hard drive is there? I have 3 places beside the PSU but isn't that a bad idea because it would get hot sitting beside the PSU? Although there is a fan right behind the cage that would pull the heat out.
Also, on any of the 2 hard drives I have installed, do I have to do anything with the jumpers? If yes, what position do I need to put them in? One other thing, only 1 of the hard drives has a 4 pin connection. Does this need to be hooked up and what is it for?
The screws that came with the motherboard, are they black and how many should there be? I found a bag with 5 black screws. I can't remember what it came with.
