Installing Ax 850

[alw1971]

I have a p8z68 v pro and I've installed the 24 pin power to the mother board but the other end has a shorter connection with another 8 pin attached to it now do i leave that out of the power supply or plug it in?

Much appreciate any help thank you.

Sorry the power supply i have is an ax 850 thankyou.

P.s i think its 8 pin it could be 6 I'm not quite sure as I'm not sat in front of it at the moment. There two cables at the end of it anyway so do i need to plg in both. Cheers.

Sorry for being thick.

look at it this way might make sense the mobo cables are sleeved and the pci-e and molex/sata cables are black wire. the ax850 comeswith 2 sets of 8pin connectors for the mobo and unless ur mobo has 2 you only need one.they put the extra one on for those who have dual 8pin mobo connectors and who need the extra power for the mobo

hope this helped

I dont mean to be funny but i didnt understand a word of that.

I'm talking about the 24 pin atx power cable here. One side is 24 pin and the other has a 20 pin connector but also an 8 pin connector. do pi put this 8 pin into the psu too?

Im not talking about the 8 pin that goes in the top right of the motherboard.

Cheers Adam.

EDIT : Ok i just got what you said but this is not what im on about as above

I'm thinking your looking at the psu side of the cable the booklet should show you where each cable plugs into.

they both go plugged in to the psu side lol they should only fit in one slot each. my psu has those hard wired in so I cant tell ya exactly which ones but the book should help alot

both meaning the dual side lol the 24pin goes to mobo

 

[alw1971]

Yep cheers for staying with this. I plugged both of them in . Thanks alot.

Where do I fit the molex leading from the front panel on the 600T? I have tried fiting it to a cable leading from the psu but it seems a real struggle to get it in. I'm also having the same problem with the molex on the H100, they dont seem to fit the power cables provided with the AX 850 PSU. Funny thing is the front panel molex fits perectly into the corsair H100 molex. That isn't the place is it? I can't see where the power is comming from if that's the case.

I know the molex's have different shapes to help you fit them but I cant believe how tight it is and i dont want to break the pins if I'm wrong, can someone enlighten me please?

Cheers.

 

[alw1971]

It's ok don't worry yourselves lol, push came to shove! Thanks for the help btw.

What a wonderful forum !

they probably (pins) werent lined up exactly lol one of the things I hate about molex plugs. Some go straight in other ya have to wiggle about, The molex for my XSPC pump/rez was like that the pins eventually fell out and wouldnt stay in so I bypassed the plastic part lol.

 

[alw1971]

WIcked cheers. I actually found two extensions that came with the H100 but for some reason i missplaced them with all the wires from all the box's and then found them right after i managed to wigle some cables together!

I may use the ones that came with the H100 or just stick with the ones i got with the PSU. I will have to see when it comes down to the cable managment. Gulp!
