The Grunt,

Thanks pal! that is something I will look into. You are quite right, I haven't looked at high end graphics cards for almost two years now You know how it is, office and SOHO environments where the boss doesn't want to pay for a box of crayons, let alone a decent graphics card.



Otherwise it has been upgrades of kit that either would not support or would not justify the high end graphics.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realise that I was falling behind in that area.

As for your question, yes it makes some sense now. But, say I have two additional case fans a graphics card and a HDD, I would far rather run graphics card + fan and HDD + fan than graphics card + hdd and the two fans from the other outlet. If you see what I am getting at. I think you are right about the reason for the instruction, even though I do not agree in theory with it.

After all the graphics card and the HDD are both high consumption and variable consumption.........case fans tend to be constant. I would rather run the floppy or CD writer, which you don't use that much, from the video passthrough supply.

cheers
