The one you linked looks like M2F, but the build your own cable would probably work. I suppose I'm fine, because Corsair is sending me one anyways. Thanks for the link!
Glad I could help someone! Congrats
Haven't overclocked the CPU yet. The mobo guide says to plug in all 3 power adapters before overclocking, so I'm still waiting for those cables to get here. Once I overclock I'll update the thread with a guide & the new benchmark results.
The only problems I've had (mentioned this in the...
Haha, true. It was incredibly rewarding to get everything up and running, too. Would recommend!
