my current builld is on an msi k9n2g neo. i have a zotac geforce 8600 gt and it has a connector with spdif and gnd labeled. the motherboard has a jspd1 connecotr which has vcc, spdif, and gnd. is that where it goes and do i need the vcc?
 
why woulda graphics card need any of those signals? esp a 8600gt?
 
idk. it loads up without it, but im only installing the os w setup so idk.
