k0ffle Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well, i purchased the 750TX psu last week as my friend had recommended it to me. So far im very unhappy with it. Problem A: There are two connections from the psu to the mobo, one of them being the 24-pin and the other being the 8 pin. Im using the Sabertooth x58 (asus) mobo, and the 8-pin connection from the psu doesn't fit into the mobo's slot. Someone told me i could use 4 pins instead of 8, so i guess its not my biggest concern, but still a problem. Problem B: The PCI-E connectors don't fit my GPU. The back of my gpu looks like this: http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/605/mygpu.png And the pci-e connection looks like this: http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/7118/mypci.jpg a friend said i should look for converters that would fit my GPU, but the converters dont fit, and are also missing a pin where the GPU has a pin. 2/10 so far for this psu. -angry first (and last time) customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Did you try putting them in, or are you just comparing square versus rounded holes? That cable will indeed fit in either of the connectors on that video card, and I suspect the 8 pin will also fit into the correct port on the motherboard just fine. In short, they're rounded for max compatibility. It'll still only fit one way as a whole connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0ffle Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Everything fits perfectly, but squares vs. round doesn't work out. Are you saying it will fit regardless of if a square shaped one is supposed to be round or vice versa? They fit, i just dont want to short anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Round will fit within square. That's on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltitol Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 The peeps who designed the plugs and sockets are geniuses. You can't put a wire anywhere that will cause it to short. If your CPU socket has 8 pins, be sure and plug in all 8. Otherwise you might end up under-volting your cpu. Same goes for your 2x 6 pin connectors on your GPU.
