Yep, I saw that when I posted the photo (not obvious from above), and pushed it in. Just didn’t take another photo. Thank you, though.

Is this any use? What isn't shown here is the other end of the other second cable is plugged into a separate port on the PSU (that was the super fiddly bit).

Thanks. That was useful. I only had the one cable connected. Now I have two. Wow, that was fiddly. There's a reason I don't build my own. :-) Its a shame this wasn't in place before the build with all the public messaging about the power draw of the cards. Appreciate your thoughts, Alex.

I ordered at 1403 on launch day and got a dispatch notification late yesterday, due to arrive tomorrow. So not a huge wait for me considering the massive shortages. Fingers crossed it works out for you quickly.

Fair enough, makes sense. i‘ll put it on hold for a bit and wait for the new products. Thanks!

Hi folks, I love games, but not a hardware guy. I’m looking to change my PC which is creaking a bit on newer games in the next few months. I like GeForce based on good experiences, and tho my current processor is an Intel, I’m not wed to it (looking at the forums here AMD are getting some love...

Hi folks, I am getting to the point where my four year old rig isn't cutting it with newer games, I am looking to upgrade. The budget I am setting is £900, but I'd prefer to do something for less. I am looking to run new games at a reasonable level, but I don't need to be blisteringly fast. I...
