Megashrap Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I know it's old to many, but it's new to me. I ordered this board http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/motherboards/Foxconn_NF4UK8AA_3.htmlMy question is I'm going to be running an e-GeForce 7600 GT with it, if you look at the l pic on that page link of the board, it has a power connector at the bottom of it. Is this for the PCIe x 16 card I'm gonna be using? and do I need to use this power connector? Thanks in advance. I can't believe It was only $34.00 new.I had an Asus A8N-E that was very similar to this board with the Nforce4 chipset and it rocked. However I cannot find that Asus board anywhere now since lightning got it. But spec wise it is practically the same board,can't wait for it to get here.Good thing about the Nforce4 is, you can overclock the shit out of it,wether in BIOS or use Clock-Gen. But I believe bios has enough overclocking options to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybopache Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 hi scar face!looking at the spects of the motherboard it says:http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/motherboards/Foxconn_NF4UK8AA_4.htmlscroll down a bit.A standard 4pin power connector is located in the far back corner of the motherboard for aux PCIe power. Depending on the video card used, you may or may not need to plug power into this socket.I think that you don`t NEED to use this one,if you have a spare connector from your PSU you can use that one too.I thing Winfast has put it on the board due to wireing.PPL missing connectors.I think with your video card it`s ok(check spects for card,voltage,amp and stuff needed to run the card),but mine could`nt used it.If this is not correct,don`t hesitate to correct me...cybo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Nah, your correct...if I needed the extra power,it would be on the vid card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
