855776 2010-02-06 02:49:00 Hi. Have started assembling my new PC. Asus P7P55D-E Evo motherbard.
The 8 pin power connector on the m/b has a removable cap covering 4 of the pins. The M/b manual says to connect the 8 pin plug (as well as the 24 pin one) or it won't boot. The diagram shows 8 pins. The psu has both 4 and 8 pin connectors.
So do I remove the cap and fit the 8 pin connector, or leave it in place and use the 4 pin?

855778 2010-02-06 03:12:00 That's what I'm guessing, and how I've got it plugged in. Just a bit nervous before switching on for the first time! Grimy (3041)
