| power to the 5900 Pardon my rather candid question but I'm kinda newbie at assembling a computer. Just got myself a MSI fx5900 which came with a power cord. The card has an onboard connector as well. The point is that nowhere in the manual is indicated that I should use that cord and onboard connector to connect the card to the psu and how  .And if so, to use the cord or a cable coming out of the psu... Thanks for any clue.

| Yes the fx 5900 needs additional power. So you have to connect the connector to the 5900 and your powersupply.
