    Hi all
    I got my new card today. I have gone to plug it in but I seem to be a connector missing in the pc. I wanted to get my right set up and running on triples until I have tested or purchased a rift but no luck.
    It's the eight pin one. The 6 pin is there. Is this a case of having to get a new power supply or is it a connection from the board so would need one of them instead. The instructions just say plug in connectors but don't say what they are

    Cheers all

    Jay

    Hi mate. It doesnt have anywher to plug cables. The pc is only a year old but i think the psu is a bit old skool. All the cables are pre-installed. Been looking into it on line and found some corsair power supplies so will go and get one of those providing they come with cables

    Well how's my luck. Played about with the pc and put the new psu in. I went to plug the card in and the case isn't wide enough to get past the lip on the case. New tower it is then
