Power supply cables

I currently only have one 8pin to 2*6+2pin (daisy chain) cable running to the "4+4 CPU" slot for my 6700XT GPU, which takes one 8pin and one 6pin to power. I am aware that I mustn't use the daisy chain cable to power both slots, and I am not too knowledgeable in power supplies and cables. My...

So I got a a new power supply and I got a redeon 5500 4g gpu and when I connected it to the new power supply it turns on then turns off but I connected back to my old power supply and it worked so I think it’s because the gpu cable is a 8 pin and my old one was 4 pin so what can I do

Hi gang, Amidst the many threads I see with 4080s not giving a display signal, I can't even get any lights on with mine. I recently purchased an MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 4080 to treat myself after getting a new job. I am upgrading from a 3070ti. I made sure that the 4080 would be compatible with my...

Hello, Is my PSU good enough to support my current setup? Recently my computer has been getting Event ID 13 nvlddmkm and crashing in games often (usually once every 10-120 minutes or so). After looking into it, the error seems to be related to the graphics card drivers/the card itself...

Hi everyone, When I turn my PC on it briefly spins up my fans and right before they stop I consistently hear a crackling noise coming from around the PCIe power-pin connections. This is not the only time it happens, but it is the most reliable and consistent way to observe the issue. I’ve...

Hi, it has always been a fear of mine to accidentally fry my motherboard due to incompatible PSU cables. I have a Corsair CV-550W PSU and was considering buying the Lian Li Strimer Plus argb PSU extension cables. Before buying them, I want to just make sure that extension cables like these won't...

Hello! So I just bought a new graphics card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z7DXHP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - It needs 2x 8 pin cables (I already have 1x 8 pin in my existing graphics card). I have a thermaltake toughpower grand series RGB 650 Watt PSU. I have...

Hello, I was considering to upgrade my motherboard and cpu, and i was going to upgrade my current mobo for a Asus prime x570-p, but putting my system on partpicker gives me this note/error: "The Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair CX...

I came home and plugged in the power outlet. My PC is connected to this outlet. Once I plugged it in I heard a "hizz" noise from my PC, not a pop, not a buzz, imagine a hizz you get when you open a cola bottle. Just one not so loud but not too quiet "hizz". I booted the PC and it runs just fine...

Hey folks, I appreciate in advance any knowledge or advice you can share. I was upgrading from a Corsair CX600m PSU to an EVGA Supernova 750 P2 PSU. I had 2 SSD's and 2 HDD's as storage, with an M.2 as the boot drive. I replaced the GPU, CPU and Motherboard cables but kept the Sata cables in...

Hi guys. I have a noob question earlier today I tried to turn my pc on but it wouldnt work but I saw my GPU led on. I think I know why it happened because I had two cables a power supply and a hdmi cellar taped together(I didn't know that was a bad idea). I'm getting a new power supply cable but...

Hi all, I have an older MSI GTX-790 that I want to use in a PC I'm repurposing for use as a server. I think the card is a "gaming" edition since it has one PCI-E 6-pin and one 8-pin rather than the usual 6 + 6. However, the power supply in my spare chassis only has two 6-pin PCI-E plugs. Can I...

I would like to get an extender for my pci-e cables. I have 2 cables, both have a 6+2, and I would like to extend them to another 6+2 just longer. Would using an extender that's a 6 to 6+2 work if I just connected it to the 6 part of the original cord?

I just want to know since the plug says 125v instead of the normal 100-240v is it safe to plug into a wall? Or do I need to buy an adapter? The PSU is Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W and the website says the input voltage is 100-240v. However the plug looks exactly like this View...

Good day, I'm currently creating a build, and I need a power supply with the extra 4 pin ATX connector not just the standard 8 pin. Now some of you might be thinking, "You don't need that, that is just for extreme overclocking, and it will be unnecessary for the everyday user". Well, yeah...

Hello, I have a Dell Optiplex 3020 that I'm suspecting has a bad PSU; I'm looking to replace it and I would like to go with something a little newer than what it has but I'm not sure what to get to make sure I have the right connections; My current one has an 8 pin P1 and a 4 pin P2 connector...

Looking at cable extensions for my RM750x (2018). I have found 'EZDIY-FAB Sleeved Cables' on Amazon for £28, which is significantly cheaper than cable mods, is there a catch to this? Can these harm my components, and are they even compatible? The cables...

I have a Corsair RM550x, which is a modular PSU. I was having trouble starting my PC (details below), so I tried using a different CPU cable from another PSU. I thought that if it fits, it should be ok. However, as soon as I started it with the other cable, my PSU made some sound and never...

Hello everyone, My pre-built Dell G5 desktop came with a paltry 360W power supply. I purchased an EVGA 600W ATX 12v power supply to replace it, but it's clear that these power supplies were not 'made' for a small frame PC like mine, as it's far too large to fit inside but I've accepted leaving...

So i have a b550 phantom gaming 4 motherboard which has 2 atx12v power connectors, but the power supply i have only has the 4+4 cable (rm650x) , is the extra 4 pin cable needed? Specs: Ryzen 5 3600 rx 480 B550 phantom gaming 4 2x8gb 3600mhz XLR8 RAM I apologise if any terminology is wrong

I was swapping my GPU and power supply today I accidentally connected a pcie power cable to what I believe is a CPU power connector on the EVGA G2 1000W PSU. The connector fit perfectly and was not forced. When I realised the error I swapped gpu and power connector as I did not actually have...

I have an Asrock H110 Pro BTC + motherboard. I have a server power supply with a breakout board that has 16 PCie (6 pin) ports and one 4 pin Molex. I'm trying to establish the required power connections for the motherboard and CPU. For the motherboard - I'm using a 6 pin to 24 pin Cable from...

Power cord (16A 250V) that came with power supply doesn't fit my country's socket. Can I use my old power cord (10A 250V) on my new PSU? My Corsair RM750 came with a power cable that has an incompatible socket type, I cannot mount it on any of my wall sockets. On the new PSU cable, the...

Hi everyone, I ordered a sea-sonic prime plat. 850 w power supply on eBay that came with no cables but was a really good deal about 6 months ago. I also order the supposed OEM cables for it, also on eBay. It came with the sea-sonic bag and everything. I was running an OC’d i7 5960x pulling about...

I’m having some weird issues. Specifically after I downloaded the drivers for my new pc I built it won’t power down when I click shutdown and sometimes it will just restart instead. When I try to restart it it just gets stuck and I have to manually turn off the pc. My pc works fine but every...

Hello, I have a NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM fan as a bottom intake in my case. Blades pointing down, motor end up (the end with the Noctua label up, so it's pushing air into the case). The wires from the Power Supply (Corsair HX1000i) are running right over the noctua fan motor. The wires...

I have a SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM power supply in my daughter's PC. It's a pretty old one by now I guess. Bought it in 2016. Anyway, I tried putting it in my daughter's computer, which now has my old GTX 980 in it. The cable it used to have in my case with my own Corsair PSU does not fit...

My power supply has multiple sata power connectors on one cable. I was wondering if I could use one cable to power two hard drives? there are three connectors on one cable. Pc parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pG7CCz PSU...

I've got a pretty small computer case, and while I'm not really worried about the airflow I'm more concerned on how I'm suppose to get my ssd, and hard drive in there without breaking anything. I literally have my cables floating around bunched in one giant ball with a zip tie. I was how rough...

So I have an RTX 3070 and it needs 2 x 8 pins to power it. I was just wondering if it would be better to use 2 single 8 pin to 8 pin pcie cables or 2 y splitter cables that my psu comes with. Also, is it safe to leave one side of the split end unplugged and one side plugged into the gpu. Thanks.

I have an old (but still works well) OCZ 600MXSP power supply and am upgrading my other components. My brother is helping me, please excuse my ignorance. I need to get a PCI cord that is compatible with my power supply and the new video card. The new video card has 6 plus 8 pins. The power...
