[SOLVED] 24-pin layout on PSU is completely different to layout on the motherboard ?

[natedog1636]

So I am building a new pc and I decided to use the psu out of my old one, and I am just plugging everything in and the 24 pin won't go in. So i looked at it and as far as I can see the layout is completely different on the psu connector to the motherboard socket.

The square pins are trying to go into the half square half round holes and vice versa

Do I need a new psu?

PSU: Cooler master 550w Bronze psu
Motherboard: Gigabyte A520m ds3h

Looks like you have it flipped 180 degrees.

In the motherboard pic, I believe the top 4 holes (2 rows) are not used.

The cable is 20 pin, the board is 24 pin.


Other than that, the keying lines up exactly.
ATX is ATX. There isn't a "different one".

Oh wow I am stupid, I had the extra 4 pin plug around the other side on the 20 pin plug, stupid me never thought to move it to the other end. . . This has me stumped for an hour. Sorry for wasting your time lol
