great idea! what motherboard do you have?? post it from newegg

you need connectors at the yellow circles and one in your video card
and the video card?
alright lets start at the beginning. you have your motherboard out. you have your psu out. you have your cpu in, your fan/heatsink on it(tightly?? is the fan spinning??) your ram is in (just have 1 stick in closest to the cpu) don't connect harddrives. put in gpu. then plugged in all the psu cables......and your monitor....what happens?
oh and make sure you are on something anti static like. didnt the motherboard come in a bag??
What is the CPU Power Plug?
Aii, I see a 4 pin plug near the CPU and I plugged in the corresponding wire coming from the Power Supply. (under the plug it says "EATX12V")
I have an 8 pin wire coming out of the power supply, but I do not see any place to plug it into the motherboard :S. Do you know where this is located?
NB: I am using the Asus Rampage III GENE mATX (not the "Extreme")
^ I found out (from the manual) that the GENE has a four pin plug not an 8 pin plug, so my answer would be, yes I did plug that in.![]()
