Ah I did just write something up lmao

1st time builder here and was wondering if anyone can direct me on where cables go in my psu

I cannot identify the cables either. 0 labels on them. And I’m very confused

[tidal geyser]

find 24pin and 8 pins eps

+2 8 pin pice

the eps/pcie connecter go in the ones labled cpu/pcie

[frail dock]

So I’ve got the 24 and 8 in already

But what do you mean by +2 8 pin

This one ?

[tidal geyser]

you need 2 of the 8pin pcie

they offen a block of 6+2 where eps 8 pin is 4+4

[tidal geyser]

left is eps right cant tell fome image

[frail dock]

This is the cable in the image but better to see

[tidal geyser]

ok so its just the psu side that i had no idea what it was

[tidal geyser]

that be power for cpu 8 pin EPS

and you need 2 of the 8 pin Pcie cable

[frail dock]

So here

[tidal geyser]

yep

[frail dock]

Ok I have this cable

[frail dock]

All the pins have metal inside

[tidal geyser]

be bad if it dose not

fun fact the 2 extra pin on 8 pin pice are just 2 more ground

so no more 12V pin

[frail dock]

So where does this cable plug into

[hardy pecan]

but adds 2X the amount of power it can use

[tidal geyser]

pcie one into pcie cards that need extra power

[tidal geyser]

just for sense right

[hardy pecan]

aka gpu

[tidal geyser]

some mobo have 1 or 2 on them if you have stupid amount of pcie cards

[hardy pecan]

yeah those are funny

[frail dock]

So this cable goes here

[tidal geyser]

yes where it saying cpu/pcie for the pcie cable

[frail dock]

There is 2 areas it says that

[frail dock]

One just below it but I’ve put it into the one at the top next to the cpu

[tidal geyser]

both are same

[frail dock]

Ok

So my next cable I’m looking for is probably one for my ssd ?

Which I think is this one

[tidal geyser]

dont use that since your not using sata drive

[tidal geyser]

unless you have sata ssd not listed in specs

[frail dock]

No I don’t have one only the one in the specs

[tidal geyser]

then dont need sata power

[frail dock]

What about this one ?

[tidal geyser]

idk i have not used anything that has that just for legacy i think

[frail dock]

So I should be done with the PSU now ?

[tidal geyser]

yep
