asus nvidia geforce 9600gt silent

[KingBart]

I just bought the asus nvidia geforce 9600gt silent Grafics card
but when i start my computer a pop-up tells me the card isn't
running 100%, it says the card needs to be conacted to the PSU.
The thing is i have no clue how to do this...

You should have one or two cables that came with your graphics card you need to connect those cables from your PSU to your graphics card.

Well maybe you should get someone who knows what they are doing to install it for you then? :raise:

you plug the end with 6 holes into the card

you plug the two ends with 4 pins into matching cables from the power supply

it's not a difficult concept to get your head around, plugging things into matching holes

You could do this, right? It's only slightly harder than this.

Maybe you should get someone who knows something about computers to install your expensive video card, since you obviously have no idea what you're doing.

All the cables only fit in the spot that they belong in. Just plug things in where they fit and you're set.

There's a plug on the GPU.

There's a cable with a matching plug coming from the PSU.

Connect these.
