richcornucopia Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 ya that tutorial is pretty good, but its kinda old. I wanna find a guide written by a really advanced builder that does all the higher end parts. If not ill rely on the manufacturers manuals. Im sure they'll provide good information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 that ocz powersupply you will be getting is awesome - i have the same one - decided to spend quite a bit of money on it since its worth that every penny !!! that powersupply has a 20 + 4 pin main connector - dfi motherboards require a 24pin connector for added stability - but others might not require it - either way you are set with that power supply - also, dfi motherboards are very picky about ram they work with and other components also - so if you are still geting a dfi motherboard, post any of ur concerns here before you buy the stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 in a matter of fact, the dfi sli-dr motherboard (i have it) also requires a secondary 4 pin connector - i have a lot of pictures of the build i did couple of months back - if you are interested or need more info hit me up on aim: disturbed6dws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 the best place to look is a forum they often have guides and users asking the same questions as you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
