Title: Powered Risers Post by: TheFuneral on May 07, 2013, 06:28:19 PM Hello guys,
I'm setting up a rig with 4 cards and have bought powered risers for it. I'm not sure I fully understand how to set them up correctly. Would I just get the cables from my PSU that have been used for cd-roms/floopys/older hdds that look like this? http://www.computercablestore.com/12_Inch_Internal_Power_Su_PID1633.aspx and plug them into the one male portion of the power cable coming off my riser? Will the direction matter? Thanks again for your help, Title: Re: Powered Risers Post by: Buffer Overflow on May 07, 2013, 06:37:08 PM They are keyed you cannot plug them the wrong way around.
Title: Re: Powered Risers Post by: TheFuneral on May 07, 2013, 06:38:21 PM so the power plugs I posted above are the correct ones to use for my risers? I also plug the other end coming off my PSU?

Title: Re: Powered Risers Post by: Buffer Overflow on May 07, 2013, 07:45:02 PM Oh, and don't forget your PSU has to be powerful enough to take the extra load.
