| 1154264 | 2010-11-18 19:40:00 | The power switch at the back is turned on. Umm, now I'm a little lost. Im using a Gigabyte GTS450 - what power plug does that correspond to? I've looked over the manual, and it doesn't seem to state |

| 1154265 | 2010-11-18 19:46:00 | As previously mentioned -- The PSU will have a ATX plug 4 or 8 pin depending on the PSU ( should have 8) , and also a PCI-E plug(s). The PCI-E goes into the Card, the ATX goes into the Motherboard. Most PSU's will have PCI-E written on the appropriate plug. |

| 1154266 | 2010-11-18 19:46:00 | Ok, the last 2 power points left are P4 and P5. Both are the same shape. Is it safe to assume that one of the two can go into my graphics card Gigabyte GTS 450? | aeonplux (16084) | ||
| 1154267 | 2010-11-18 19:49:00 | Dont Assume anything. What make and model is the PSU ? We can look up the PSU and see what plugs it has. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1154268 | 2010-11-18 19:55:00 | eXtreme Power Plus 650W RS-650-PCAR-E3 It's a cooler master I have P2 and P3 (both 4 holes) currently plugged into the ATX slot as it was the only one that corresponded (both we tied together with a cable tie, P2 fit perfectly, the other consisted entirely of "D" shaped holes which went into the other slot with 2 squares and 2 "D"s should this be removed?) Now I have P4 and P5 remaining. Both are exactly the same shape with one 6 hole plug and one 2 hole plug tied together |

| 1154270 | 2010-11-18 20:02:00 | Yep, thats the one. Manual can be found under support. I think I've got everything in place, but could I please have a quick run through of which plug goes where in terms of the ATX and the graphics card? Thanks so much guys Nevermind, its fully operational,one beep was given out and it started up properly. I can't tell you guys how grateful I am. Thanks heaps for all your help |

| 1154271 | 2010-11-18 20:11:00 | The CPU 4+4 should go on the ATX 12v. The 6 pin to the gfx card, if it needs it. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1154272 | 2010-11-18 20:12:00 | sounds like you have it right to me, the two 6+2 connectors should be the PCI-E connectors for your graphics card - larger cards use both, smaller cards use one or even none. Generally speaking all connectors are shaped to only fit in the right place so as long as you are careful don't force anything and make sure everything with a power connector on it is connected to the psu you should be ok |

| 1154273 | 2010-11-18 20:18:00 | The GTS450 has a 6 pin Plug. That picture (www.imagef1.net.nz) tells you where every thing goes. Inside the box of the graphic card will be a power lead,Same as this (www.imagef1.net.nz(Large).JPG) check the pin arrangement compared to the PSU's if unsure, but they can only go one way. I have that card in my Sons New PC -- its not to bad actually for the price. |
