Hi folks,
I am somewhat clueless here.
I am building a new machine with an A8N-SLI,
an Antec P180 case, and a NorthQ 4100 PSU.
The PSU has a 20 pin plug, which I shouldbe able to fit in the 24-pin
plug without problems. The 4-pin ATX wire is however too short to
reach the plug on the mobo, as the PSU is in the bottom in this case.
Do I need to get an extension for this, or can I use the EZ instead?
I've got an ASUS 6600GT gfx card. If I plug in the EZ, will the card
draw power from the EZ then, or how does the gfx card power
distribution work between the EZ and the main 24-pin connector?
If the card will draw from the EZ, then I should be ok w/o the 4-pin
ATX plug? This is a light machine with only 1 HD, 1 DVD-drive,
no PCI card except the gfx and a few USB units.
So my question pretty much comes down to how the power is distributed
between the EZ, the 24-pin and the 4-pin, on the A8N-SLI.
Googling gives different suggestions for mostly elder ASUS boards...
