Hey guys, this is the first computer I'm actually building by myself, and I had bought the Asus P5WDH. And this was a later model so I think it might be Core 2 duo compatible. The Bios chip reads 1201, just to let you guys know.
Anyway, the cd drive, hard drive, power supply, processer/fan, ram and vid card are in.
Just last night I finished putting in all of the parts, and I hooked up the cables but im not sure if its totaly correct and I was wondering if someone could check it for me.
The package came with 4 hard drive cables, 2 red and 2 orange, but instead I used the black cable that came with the hard drive and plugged it in the SATA 1 socket that was in red on the mobo. I connected the usb and fire wire things(easy), and I also connected all of the fans. I put the 4 pin connecter and 24 power cord on the mother board. I connecter the power cord to the hard drive and cd drive.and the data cable of the cd drive to the mother board.
The only thing I wasnt that sure of is the cd drive's flat cord(blue) and the left over cord that was labled HDD. On the right side of the mother board is a blue socket nammed IDE slot. I'm pretty sure I plug the cd drive cable into that(correct me if ive been wrong on anything yet so far please.). Then theres the remaining HDD cable, I dont know, but it loks pretty important. And i plugged the PCI-E power cord to my ATI 1950XTX cart, Do I need to do anything with that?
Anyway, thankyou for giving your time and reading my problems. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
