Hi all,

Very quick question here, for the 6+2 power connector does it matter which way you insert the +2 part? It could be inserted one way, or rotated 180 degrees and then inserted. Does it matter?


Thanks!
 
The Six plus two not for the mb but for your gpu power. There made to be keyed to gpu power. Your power supply should have an eight pin black cable or two four pin ones or a four pin one. If you have older ps with four pin plug it work fine on eight pin mb power plug. Just use half of the plug. The mb eight pin power plug is keyed and pinned.
