Putting my rig in a new case, don't have enough molex connectors to use my Cooldrive so I hooked a fanmate up to my Zalman...checked all connections from fans, PSU, etc., all looked good, booted up fine, was about to do some testing, opened up Speedfan, and my GPU was clocking in at 68C. I thought, hmmm, that's much warmer than normal...

Forgot to plug the FanMate into the motherboard.

68C at idle with no fan on, I'm impressed. Thank god I didn't go straight into benchmarking!

EDIT: Which actually brings up another point. This is the P150, and using the Neo 430 with no problems so far (knock on wood). It comes with 2 3-molex 4-pin connectors, but I need more than six 4-pin molexes for my system. I don't want to use Y-connectors.

Antec sells extra connectors for the reasonable price of $2.95. With shipping of 8 bucks! So far haven't found another site that sells them, only the SATA and PCI-E connectors.

Anyone want to trade me a 4-pin connector for a SATA connector?

For you -z. If you need female 4-pins with wires attached for doing your own soldered in splices, PM me and address. I got a load of'em.

Thanks Galvanized, I've already searched the house and found some old PSU's I can scavenge from if I go down that road...I'm also trying to remember the title of that thread where you were discussing PSU mods, where the guy was asking about sleeving and SATA connectors, lots of good info in that one but can't seem to find it...
