Power supply cables

Hello, I was on my computer today and it turned off randomly. I thought it was a loose connection, so I jiggles some cords and hit the power button a bunch to see if it’d turn back on, it just made a weird clicking sounds. After pressing the power button many times, smoke started coming from...

Have a slight issue as my little brother is upgrading his graphics card to a card that requires an 8pin +6pin, but PSU only has two 6pins, I have heard conflicting reports that two of the pins are only for grounding and are completely safe, and others saying that the card will not get the power...

With the msi trio 3080 I saw it has 3 8 pin power connectors on it and I wanted to know if it would be safe to run it with 2 separate 8 pins (18awg) with one being daisy chained until a psu with 3 separate 8 pin cables would arrive. By safe I mean, no system crashes (other than drivers or new...

I have an old but trustworthy Desktop I built around an Asus B85M-E mobo. I have had an ATI Radeon 3870 card and wanted to upgrade it. After some research, I picked the XFX RX 590. They aren't kidding about that "Fat Boy." In essence I lose a PCI slot installing that. OK, so I see that my PSU...

So I'm trying connect my Q-Dion QD500 PSU to geforce gtx 1660 super oc, that requires 8-pin power supply. On the q-dion's website and pcpartpicker it states that my psu has 6+2pin connector for gpu but in reality all I can see on this PSU is 5-pin and 6-pin connectors, for some reason. Upon...

I'm about to buy a gtx 1660 super, but my psu has 1x6 pin and no 8 pins. I don't know much about electricity, cables or power supplies. can I connect my 6 pin to the 8 pin? should I buy an adapter or a new psu and which one? I've been using the psu for about 3 years and didn't have any issues...

I'm about to buy an rx 570 wich needs 1x8 pin, but my power supply only has 2x6 pin. I know that the 1x6 pin to 1x8 pin is not that safe, and the 2x6 pin to 1x8 pin is better, but I just can't find any in my country (Hungary) and if I want to buy 1, I have to buy it on Amazon, but it has the...

Hey, I am building my first PC and make sure they're are no mistakes. I wanted to know if everything is compatible? I provided screenshots and a PCPartPicker on what components I plan to use. I am worried about the cables for the power supply. Most importantly the fans. I don't know if I have...

My old power supply was going out so i bought a new evga power supply. After installing into my pc my towers fans as well as my 3 hard drives all stopped working. The bios recognizes my disk drive that’s on a different power strip than all 3 of the hard drives. is it possible that my new power...

I just bought a gtx 1660 that requires an 8 pin, me being the dummy that I am didn’t check if I had 8 pin connectors. I ordered an adapter that allows the 6 pin to connect to the 8 pin and I’m worried it might reduce performance

Over the past week my computer has been having trouble starting, after turning on the power strip nothing will happen. All of the LEDs will still be off and it will not react at all when i press the power button. The power strip is working fine as it is powering other lights as well as my...

Ever since I built my computer about 1.5 years ago, I noticed that whenever I plugged in my power supply cord into the power supply, or even moved it a bit, I noticed some sort of crackling sound (I have no idea if this is a normal thing), but for a long time now (maybe about a year), sometimes...

I don’t know if the PSU and the motherboard have enough slots for the cables. And I would like to know if these parts are compatible with eachother. I picked 3TB of storage because I will be using the same system for 4+ years. PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZXZVf9 CPU...

After I built a computer, I saw one of the power supply cables have slight problem (slight rubber was removed). I believe that was not my fault. 1. If you buy a new power supply, do you inspect its every individual cables? 2. I worry some imperfect cables exist because I can't trust the every...

Bought this video card , but only found out the PSU only has 4-pin molex connectors. So the plan is to use one of these and one of these to connect it to the PSU. Is this safe? The PC is pre-built, so we didn't think to check any connectors

I'm trying to finish up my first build, but I am running into an issue with my power supply and my CPU. I have done both basic troubleshooting (connecting individual components to the PSU and powering on/off) and more detailed troubleshooting (taking everything apart and checking if CPU was...

I’m using a ASRoxk B450M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 motherboard and a EVGA GD 500 W ATX power supply. I don’t really build computers from scratch so I’m having trouble with the power. I got help from a friend on the wiring portion. The computer won’t start when I plug it in and pressing the power...

Hello I've been building my pc but just hit a snag with the power supply cables and gpu. the GPU has a 8pin connection(female) and a 6pin slot I've been provided with these cables, but the cables on my old build were slightly different. I'm not familiar with the lingo for power supplies so...

Hello, I have recently bought a msi rtx 2060 and my 1000 watt psu from what I can see only has a six pin connector. I am wondering if I could use a 6 to 8 pin connector for my gpu. Thanks

Bought a PSU and it's always powered on even when no motherboard connected. It happens as soon as you connect Motherboard cable to PSU (it's full modular unit) and it kicks on. As my knowledge it shouldn't happen. Then got a replacement from warranty and it came with exact same fault. If you...

Hi! So a couple of months ago I accidentally pulled on the power cable of the PC Tower and ever since I've been hearing this crackling noise coming from the PSU. I've already had a problem about the computer not staying on for more than 15 mins at most before this happened. Now, I'm just...
