Hello,
I am building my first PC in a while and have a question about the power connections before I power up the system for the first time.
Here is my new system:
GA-EP45-UPD3P
Earthwatts 500
E8400
Evga 9800 GT
Here's my question...Do I need to hook up both the main power connection (24 pin) and the 8 pin power connector (the manual says hook the 8 pin up if your using an Intel Extreme Edition CPU?). I figured I should hook up both, but wanted to double check first.
Also, I assume theres a fan under one of the heatsinks for the chipset? Do I need to hook up anything special for that to run, or will it just run automatically if I hook up the power connectors?
Thanks a lot for the help!
