Need help with psu^^^

The last psu I had was bad so I replaced wit 650 watt (modular now) but idk where the plugs go in

austere rune
#

They should be labeled

clear swallow
#

They are (some aren't) but it has 2 heads
Idk where the second head goes

#

For motherboard it had 2 heads

austere rune
#

Make sure to only use the plugs with the PSU it came with

clear swallow
#

Yep its new so I separated its parts

austere rune
#

What PSU?

clear swallow
#

MSI

#

A650GF

austere rune
#

Ok. That big one you have there appears to plug into the motherboard one

clear swallow
#

Yes but what abt the small one

#

They're together

austere rune
#

The other spot labeled motherboard?

clear swallow

#

I can’t see anything in that photo really

clear swallow
#

I got it
Just needed to separate the wires

#

I'm not going to need all the cables right

snow python
#

No

#

You'll only need the cables for the devices that need the plugs

snow python
# clear swallow

Also, you need to plug the dangling one into the connector beneath the big one in this picture

clear swallow
#

I got the mb and cpu plugged

#

What else do I need?

snow python
#

Graphics card plugs, any SATA power for 2.5" and 3.5" drives

#

That's about it though

clear swallow
#

What are they labeled as thou

snow python
#

Huh?

clear swallow
#

Name for eg
There's one labeled as cpu written on iy

#

It

#

I found pcle

#

The rest aren't labeled

snow python
#

Are you looking at the right end of them?

clear swallow
#

Looking at any side that had letters
I found another cpu for some reason but that's abt it

#

Its labeled on the psu just not on the cables

#

I also found a second PCLe

#

The manual aint helpful since it doesn't include pictures

snow python
#

Well, the labels on the cables are what you need to concentrate on, then

#

And also their shapes

clear swallow
#

Alr where does the pcle go on

snow python
#

To your graphics card

clear swallow
snow python
#

Majority of the time it is the only device that needs PCIe power

#

Plugs into VGA, because, you know, graphics card

clear swallow
#

Alr

#

So Ig I don't need the second cpu and pcle since I don't have 2

#

I have these 3 left

austere rune
#

You might not need all the cables as well

clear swallow
#

The dude in there also told me that I'm using the wrong screwer for mb

#

Which one is right?

#

Size

snow python
#

The ones on the right are for fans

clear swallow
#

For the cooler fans (connected to cpu) that go to the top?

snow python
#

Those go to the CPU fan header on the motherboard

clear swallow
#

Alr lets finish up wit the psu and turn it on ig

snow python
#

Need to plug in graphics card power

#

Oh, older picture?

clear swallow
#

@snow python psu fan up or down?

snow python
#

Down

clear swallow
snow python
#

You're going to regret not having plugged in CPU power earlier

clear swallow
#

I did that for my older psu but all cuz the psu was bad I had to replace it

#

But

#

PCle where does it go

snow python
#

Into the connectors

#

Also it is an i, not an l (PCIe)

#

Stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect express

clear swallow
snow python
#

Yes

#

6+2 pin makes 8

clear swallow
#

Where it matter which side they go?

snow python
#

No

clear swallow
#

I can't find where the cpu cable goes in lo

#

If only I could put the cpu cooler fan to the front instead of top

#

Accessing the motherboard would've been so much easier

snow python
#

Top left of the motherboard

clear swallow
#

I believe it goes there but not sure

#

Check your motherboard's manual for locations of all the connectors

#

And also, watching the LTT build guide on how to build a PC would've been very helpful beforehand

clear swallow
#

It was so fkin hard to get it in bro

#

I can't close it lmao

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_1b6b960d-60fb-4ca1-ae4f-41380e07c741.jpg
snow python
#

Cable manage it better then

clear swallow
#

Accidentally pulled it out and can't push it all the way now

#

@snow python good enough?

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_e3409458-ea22-4260-893b-7aa6e41a6c02.jpg
snow python
#

No, must be fully connected

clear swallow
#

I did

#

Finally done

#

It turns on

#

New problem tho

#

@snow python

#

So yeah

#

Red blink wit bep bep sound

snow python
#

Something's shorted somewhere turn it off and take everything apart ig

clear swallow
snow python
#

Somewhere 🤷

#

Might be a stray standoff somewhere in the case where something shouldn't be, maybe one of the PSU cables is in backwards, maybe a dropped screw somewhere

clear swallow
snow python
#

Dude stop turning it on lol

#

Take everything back out the case before it shorts out, a protection system fails and kills a component

clear swallow
#

I'm tranna identify where the sound is coming from Aware

clear swallow
snow python
#

Well, yeah

snow python
clear swallow

#

#

The second one

austere rune
#

On what side?

#

#

Would it be VGA?

clear swallow
#

Yes psu
