Hello,
I need to install a GEFORCE 9300GE graphics card on a computer, but I have an issue with it; there is a black and white cable on this card https://www.cjoint.com/c/CEot0FNNbeZ
I think it should connect somewhere, but where???? Or do I not need to connect it...

The motherboard is an ASUS MS-7184

I know this setup isn't the newest, but maybe some people have a good memory and can tell me where this cable connects

Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the answers, I'm going to go for the simplest and follow Sugel
    Let's say it's an option on the motherboard and I didn't choose it....

      That's not what I mean:
      I'm just pointing out that there is no need to plug it in and that it's only for advanced use.

      Well, if he doesn't use the HDMI port, it's clear that... No need to overthink it...

    I think it's an SPDIF port.
    Am I right?

      no.
      SPDIF is the optical audio output -_-'
      And besides, the classic one is a flat connector two wide with a key, not a four.

      I think it's more for powering an HDMI output...

      I had that on an HD3450... It needed to be connected to the motherboard, if it had the appropriate connection...

      Ah no... The SPDIF has 2 keying pins, I have one on my GT120.

    Hello

    As far as I can see, it's simply a 4-pin Molex to power the board....

      It's just not like that a power cable.

      Ahh, is it not a flat card by any chance?

      YES.
      But this time, there is a link to an image, the -_-'.
      And a Molex spec that is one mm wide, and well...

    Anyway, I suppose it's a useless connector like for SLI, and this card works great without it; it's optional.
    I had a card from the same series with the same connector, and I never found it useful.
