RM850i Crosslink Cable - No clue where to plug it in!!!

[hiend1971]

OK, so I'm totally new to this hobby and I put together a pretty nice system IMO. First problem is that I ended up with a bunch of leftover cables... I think I'm ok with that since everything that needed power and needed to be plugged in is in. Second, I wanted to try this crosslink cable out for PSU management but have no clue on where to plug the damn thing into! Please help if you can!

This part wasn't in your manual?

First of all,nice system!

Second,why is that a problem? It is why you buy a modular psu,so you can keep the system as tidy and cable free as possible.If you have to add new hardware and need more cables will they come in handy so don't loose them ..... too many do.

It was in the manual, but that's a separate USB cable that you need to attach, that part is done... only thing left is the end of the digital connector which has no where to go.

My bad, now I understand.

THe digital link allows you to connect one Corsair unit to another, thus freeing up a USB header on your motherboard.

I have the Corsair H100i v2 CPU Cooler, but it only has one input which is a USB input, not this micro 3 pin that is at the end of this digital cable.

Although your solution kind of makes sense, I don't think it solves my problem.

Click on the sections to open them up. Lots of cable manipulations. Make sure you lok at both the RM and AXi sections.

I also found this in a review of the RMi 850.

I must have found it at the same time you did... Thanks for the effort!
