Sata Power Cable Doesn't Fit

[resistencex3]

Hello,
Basically my Sata Power cable that connects my power supply and my drives (optical and hdd) doesn't fit in the optical and HDD slot for the cable>

I have:
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171036

HDD: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136793

DVD Drive: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

thank you for your help!

I can't see how they can't fit. More description.

Well it does fit, but I can`t plug the whole cable into the slot, no matter how much pressure i put. It can only fit around one-third of how it actually should fit. When I pull it with very very little force, it easily comes out.

Never run into that problem before. Can you upload some pictures?

I cannot see it clearly from the picture, but can you check that the space inside the power connector is clear of anything (I doubt if you haven't checked already). So, all of the sata power are like that for that psu? I doubt it is the problem with the HDD and the DVD. Try plugging to your old PSU?

May need someone who had this problem before to give you an answer.

I have exactly the same problem with exactly the same power supply! I think we should let cooler master know, but at the same time don't want to wait for them to ship out replacement cables.

Are spare cables available on Amazon? Not sure if the PSU's socket is proprietary. :/

For the mean time I'm using a molex to SATA power adapter.

Yeah I solved the problem buying Molex to SATA adapter as well. I guess I shouldn't buy power supplies from CoolerMaster anymore :x

You're not alone.

Newegg's customer feedback for that power supply indicates that several customers have said that the SATA power connectors don't properly fit into their SATA optical drives and hard disk drives.
