You need to plug in the PCI-E cable to the card. Not sure about the one on the board, what does the manual say? What shape is the one on the board? pic?

That 4 pin molex connection basically provides extra power if you are powering graphics in SLi etc.
If you're only using one GTS, i don't think it'll be necessary to connect a molex to it. Still, you will need to supply power to the graphics anyway, so no matter what, the graphics pci e connector will need to be fitted.

yea my friend has that on his mobo too. i doubt it will do any harm if it is plugged in. your mobo manual should say what to do with it and when to use it.

Atleast with my now dead 6800GT, if you didn't plug one of the cables in there was a buzzer of somesort on it.
It would deafen you if you happened to miss one of the connectors out. So if it doesn't like something I'm sure it'll tell you about it

I have this same setup on my motherboard and connected the GPU to both power supplies.
I have been running for about one month now, without any problems. |
