Photos - Palit GeForce GTX 260 SP216 Sonic
Barely noticeable, but the behind the small plastic cap to the right is a SPDIF input. Basically you can lead an SPDIF wire from your soundcard or mainboard towards the GeForce card and then output sound through HDMI. It's a bit messy and more of a patch rather than a solution.
The GeForce GTX 260 needs to be connected towards two 6-pin power supply connectors. Your power supply should be rated at a minimum of 550 Watts.
Top look from our Project-X chassis, with the Sonic armed and ready. And yes, as you can see we recently added water-cooling into ProjectX. Next step, finalizing and managing (read clean-up) wiring.
The last photo before we close down the PC, and startup our benchmark session.
