I don't think that you should be concerned about having to use a modular
PCI-E connector with the 4850. The maximum rating of the 6 pin PCI-E
connector is 75W, so it doesn't have to supply huge currents.

The IP35 Pro has a diagnostic alphanumeric LED display. Are you getting any
codes on that? (I don't know what the error codes are for the board, but you
should be able to find the common ones by searching the Web.)

Hi All,

Just completed a new build, so when I booted up for the first time I found
out that I was getting no signal from the graphic card, so therefore I
can't get into the bios etc.
I have been on to the supplier and they have asked me to do several
checks, like moving the memory around etc but still no joy.
I am a bit concerned about the power supply to the graphic card. The
graphic card has only a six pin connector and in the Thermaltake manual it
tells you to use the embedded 8 pin PCIe supply, but the problem is the
graphic card is only six pin so I had to use the PCie modulised cable
which is six pin, my concern is whether I'm getting enough power to the
graphic card. At the moment the power is getting to the graphic card as
the fan works ok,but that's about it I'm still getting no signal to the
monitor.
Or is there another gremlin about in the system, any help would be
appreciated.

Regards.
