You little kid you! I can totally relate to this.

Enjoy.

Nothing thats on the QVL. Whats interesting is this is a BD board and none of the RAM on the QVL was under 9 cas. I wonder if the high lat. will not effect BD as it does the Phenom II.

Congrats MailMan. That is a sick board and damn nice ram. Can't wait for pics. :toast:

I'd say more aiming for bulldozer.

got to have something to do till then

I hope your PSU has both and 8-pin and a 4+4-pin CPU power connectors.

Hopefully I'll have one of my own soon enough.

let us know how that mba works will yah. got a client whose currently looking at it. subscribed

This is what I have.....

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified...

Should be ok no?

cadaveca · Jun 15, 2011

Not exactly...

It's got the potential to affect your overclocking, as your PSU only has the 4+4.

All I see is two 4 pin connectors on that board

cadaveca · Jun 15, 2011

One 4-pin has a cover on it...the one on the left...its actually an 8-pin.

It'll work fine; you could try 4 in one, and 4 in the other, but when you run into issues clocking your CPU, you'll know why. It's only going to have an effect near the extreme-side of clocks,IMHO.

Keep in mind I do not have one, so you COULD be perfectly fine with just the 8-pin connected..I am not sure. I do know, however, that that additional 4-pin is there for a reason.

Ah ok. Well I wont be doing any extreme OC. Maybe just to 4ghz thats about it. As long as my current PSU will work for even stock thats all I care about. Dammit Dave you scared the shit out of me.

So what do I do? Divide the two 4 pins? Or plug in the 8 and leave one 4 pin open?

I was going to say the same thing - you can zoom on the image @ newegg... You might want to avoid using the on-board 4-pin molex for anything that draws a lot... but then again, that's probably draws off the 24 pin connector.

cadaveca · Jun 15, 2011

You know, I checked the manual right away, and it doesn't say.

The Molex, Sasqui, is there for PCIe power delivery. Pretty sure MailMan is only going to use a single VGA, so he doesn't need to plug that one in at all. I'm more concerned about CPU VRMs.

the manual says the 8-pin must be populated or the system will not boot..no mention if the extra 4-pin is required.

Here's all it says in the manual:

It looks as if even a single 4 pin would suffice. If you've got 8 pins, you're golden.

So I should be ok? So confused.

cadaveca · Jun 15, 2011

Check the manual again. It says:

Do not forget to connect the 8-pin EATX power plug; otherwise the system will not boot

So my PSU isnt enough?

cadaveca · Jun 15, 2011

No, i think you will be fine with 8-pin alone. But the manual is not clear on that..as you can see by what both Sasqui and I have posted.
