Is that what the 8 pin connector is called? PCIE? I though that was a card slot.. Does the molex adapter come out to a 4 pin and then I plug both in, or would it adapt it to the 8 pin connector? As I understand it the 8 pin is just doubling up the wiring, right? I know from past experience god damned amd cpus are always power hungry whores ... it says 100w, but pffft
PCI is different. It's made not to fit in that slot.

They make these things idiot proof, because lots of idiots build their own systems -- and I'm one of 'em.
