Can't find DVD reader socket on msi 760gm-p23

[SenhoraPreta]

Help, I've looked everywhere and i cant find where to connect the DVD Reader/Burner.

the large wire, you would connect to psu, and the small one you connect to sata, unlike the old modles, there is not one dedicated wire/port

 

[MC_K7]

On a SATA port maybe?

Unless it's an IDE DVD-ROM, then you would need an IDE port (but this is very old technology, all modern DVD-ROM should be SATA).

The smaller cable that you connect to hdd/sdd goes from dvd drive, to sata port>> the larger one you also use for hdd/sdd you connect to psu through passthrough provided by psu, included in pacaging. sometimes included in dvd drive too.

Also note that if your DVD-ROM uses SATA ports they are labelled on your motherboard, usually starting with SATA-0 to SATA-3.

You should connect your most important device (usually the hard drive containing your OS) on SATA-0 or the first SATA port on your mobo because it will offer more bandwidth. DVD-ROM are less important and could be connected to SATA-2 or 3 for example.
