Question Is this computer toast?

[The Ferg]

What would happen if the 6+2 gpu cables got plugged into a cpu 4+4 connector on mobo, then turned on? Asking for a friend that did this and let the magic smoke out of his computer. I'm just curious as to what he may have destroyed.

Most probably a combination of these:

• Fried motherboard
• Fried PSU
• fried or burned wires and/or connectors

Do these even fit in that connector?

Idk if they do fit but he made them fit. I told him to see if they were the same color and connector pattern, he said yeah threw it in and you know the rest lol.
