Setting up my new mobo

aramp1 · 03-11-2005, 03:51 AM

I'm setting up my new system and there are some pin spots that say "NC" for the F Pannel, USB connection, etc. What does NC mean?

I think its "no connection" or something like that. Its generally a spot where there's physically no pin or the pin isn't supposed to be connected to anything.

I would have thought that too, but there is a pin and the ones where there is no pin, it says "no pin".

The manual doesn't tell you? What kind of board are you talking about?

give us the exact board name and so on and then we might be able to help you a tad more

Well, I know for my mobo NC is just a spot that isn't (or at least shouldn't) be used. I think as long as everything works don't worry about it

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8GPNXP Duo for Intel LGA 775

NoPin and No-Connect can (although nonintuitively) mean different things. A non-connect can have a pin thats just there for structural support....
