The "Extra" PCI-e Molex

Hey everyone,
I have a 975x, as visible in my sig, and an ATI X1900XTX with a PASSIVE cooler on it (no fans etc.), NOT overclocked.
I was wondering if I needed that extra Molex connector on the 975x? It's awful for my cable management and I could really do without it.
Or, do you have a save way to check?
Thanks

no, it's just auxiliary power, ie more copper, more conductor from the power supply to the board. It is not the *only* power channel to the board and not specifically for the graphics card. So, it is not necessary.

  • Is the "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" on the new mac worth the extra cost?  I am comparing with a refurb with better specs (faster CPU, larger hard drive) and from what I undersand the PCIe flash storage is the big differentiator in cost.

    hello - i am considering two macbook pros
    NEW - http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=ME294LL/A&step=config#
    REFURB - http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0ML1LL/A/refurbished-macbook-pro-27ghz-quad-c ore-intel-i7-with-retina-display
    The refurb actually has a faster processor and a larger hard drive.  From what I understand, the big difference in cost is the new macbook pro contains "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" versus the refurb "768GB Flash Storage".
    Is the PCIe flash storage really worth the extra cost (and smaller size)?
    PS - Also I believe the brand new one has 2 GB graphics memory as opposed to 1 GB graphics memory.  I don't really care about that as much as I won't be doing a lot of video editing or gaming.

    Some are some are not. Otherwise Apple has a ton of Mac's sitting around that have been returned by customers under their 14 day No Questions Asked return policy.
    But they not just Returned and Resold. They go back to Apple, checked out (Tested) any parts that are not up to spec replaced and then repackaged in a plain white box to be sold as refurbs.

  • Is it worth the extra money to get 256mb video memory?

    hi
    im waiting for a radeon 9600xt and started to think.
    is it worth the extra money to get 256mb memory instead of 128?
    i want the card to last a year or 2.
    bye

    True, the question is when...
    I find it hard to spend that kind of money right now since I have a good feel for what's around the corner, but if I must, I would consider sitting on my cash until the 256 version gets a little cheaper.. at newegg its about a $150 difference.
    It's all relative to what you want and what you have in your pocket, credit vs cash, the need for bragging rights, especially if you're a benchmark whore
    In a few years or give or take, these cards will be more like GF3's and obsolete with PCI express around the corner, "Slowpoke" is an understatement

  • PCIe to Molex Connector

    I am sure this has been asked before i have searched but not really found an answer. I have a new fan on my graphics card which has a molex male connector my mac does seem to have a connector for these,
    Is there a way to use the 2nd PCIe 6 pin PSU on the board to feed power to the fan ( i am aware its 12V only)
    Or is it best to split the ones on the CD-Drives and trail to cable down?
    Cheers

    Best guide I can think of. Routing power from lower optical bay is possible going behind, but I haven't gone that route. As for ability and safety of using a PCIe solution...?

  • Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month.  Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks.  Should I up my data for a month then change back.  Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

    Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
    If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

  • I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
    Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
    In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
    Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
    Good luck.

  • Orarrp: How to suppress the extra formfeed in a direct printing.

  • I have "doubles" of all my songs in my library.  Is there a way to delete the "extra" without doing it one at a time?

    I have "doubles" of all songs in my library due to my ignorance about transferring from old computer to new.  Is there a way to delte all of the extras without doijng it one-by-one?

    I have tried rebooting, but everything was still frozen afterward.  I've considered doing a restore on the computer, but that would probably wipe all of my saved information out as it's never been connected with the computer before. Also, during a restore, it asks you to confirm information on your iphone screen, which is impossible to do with it being frozen.

    Thanks,
    Laxmi

    Hi,
    as someone else said. put the newpage command at the start.
    However with a condition that that it not happens at the first page.
    or
    Determine how many P.O.
    use a counter.
    If this counter is equal to number of P.O, then no newpage command.
    success.
    Gr., Frank

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
    Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.
    You need to delete content from your iphone

  • I have 20 GB of music stored on my Macbook Air (2011) and only 7GB in my iTunes library? How can I delete the extra music without deleting any of my 7GB in my iTunes Library?

    I have no idea how to go through my folders and delete all this extra music without deleting whatever the 7GB is in my iTunes!
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    If you use iTunes' default preferences settings, anything in your collection will be in your iTunes Media folder.  When you add a track to iTunes it places a copy in the iTunes folder but leaves the original where you downloaded it.  The exceptions are if you use the Automatically Add To iTunes folder it does move it, or you drag items to iTunes while holding down the option key in which case it uses the copy wherever it is.
    As for where the other files are, you will have to look on your computer.  Use Spotlight to search for .mp3 .mp4 or whatever file formats you have.  If they aren't in the iTunes folder and iTunes lists them as being in the library then likely they are the original files which you can delete.
    You will have to do some careful checking that whatever you delete is not the file actually used by iTunes.  If you have a flash drive or another drive for temporary storage i would stick the extra files there and then if something breaks you can restore them

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
