    DFI NF4 build.........quick question please

    Do I have to plug in a 4-pin molex from the PSU to the mobo itself?



    The molex that is circled is the one in question.........do I have to plug a line from the PSU to this? The manual doesn't specify and I just try to power on and NOTHING.

    That is for more stability with SLI enabled. You don't need to unless you are running SLI.

    How did I know you were gonna say that?.....LOL.......I wish the manual woulda told me that my new OCZ 520 Powerstream Adjustable was gonna die...............another one bites the dust. Antec filling in until I get an RMA.

    Thanx Blindbat for the linkage.............I've had my face buried in this case for 16hrs, but will follow.

    That thick pad on the chipset HSF is a fairly good TIM normaly, it's phasechange so don't know if the chipset would get hot enough to make it work properly.
