Baba Yetu VI Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 6 years after previous build using Corsair products PSU, AIO and memory I find today's Corsair products are stranger!!! get frustrated! I have another problem, trying to hook up the graphics card, but look at the power cord, they are so thick, which connector should I use? are both the same? If I choose the thicker one, I wont be able to bend it to close the case with the tempered glass, it's the Masterbox MB511 Look at the svcreen shot!!!!!!!!!!

Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted November 15, 2019 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 15, 2019 That is indeed the correct cable for plugging into and powering your graphics card. Also based on a quick look at the case unless you are using an unusually tall GPU there is no reason why the default PCIe cable won't be able to be plug in and power your GPU. If you wish to use a different cable that may suit your particular taste/needs better you can can always purchase one of our premium individually sleeved cables. Though make sure you know whether your PSU takes Type 3 or Type 4 cables before purchasing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yetu VI Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 I have connected the USB cable to the mobo, do I download the iCUE software so that I can monitor the voltages, wattage and all those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you wish to monitor that information you will need iCUE installed on your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenniferT Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Every modern day graphics card come with PCI Express x16 connector that goes in the PCI Express x16 slot of your motherboard. Even some mid-range graphics cards can also work on the power from the PCI Express x16 slot alone but higher mid-range graphics cards and high-end graphics card requires external power from the PSU through 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors.
