Asus Strix soar 7.1 power connection

[matabhaine]

Don’t know what to do next; too scared to plug any power cable into the card.

It came with enough vga cables for several PCs, was going to use the molex to attach the six pin to the sound card.

I’ve never connected molex to any internal add on card. I’m not saying it won’t work but I would test ech pin for correct voltage.
Why not just use one of the cables that came with the PSU? Like @PeterOz said in Post #13 , remove the extra 2 pins. Most (the extra 2 pins) I’ve seen just unclip and dangle off to the side. Do not force the plug if the shapes don’t match. If they match, it should plug in easy.

I only have a perif cable with molex connections and the vga 8-pin to 6-pin cables, I thought perif plugged into the psu with a molex six pin connection plugging into into the SB six pin power. Can I use a vga cable?

There is no grantee that it won’t fry the card or even power it.

The pin out for the Display may be different than the pin out of the sound card.

Best thing to do is contact the card manufacture or go to their site and see about getting one.

Right, will do, sorry for any confusion.

[Rustys]

No worries about any confusion would rather you validate then try and loose a piece of hardware.
