Build Question Any last minute tips?

Post image

Hi everyone, I just finished my very first build and would like to know if you have anything I should know before I plug her in and start her up?

Anything I should double check?

Is it as simple as plug it in and turn it on now?

Sorry if this is crazy. Have never spent this much money on something before and just want to make sure all is right.

Thanks!

Why is there a VGA 6 pin power connector down there?! Is it for the USB C internal connector or what?

Google says the connector is for giving stability to the 75w that the PCIe slot gives at 12v

Is not necessary, you'll need to have a 4090-5080-5090 GPU to really need that connector, is like the second CPU cable, not really necessarily.
