Hey ,thanks It's a holiday here and my PSU decided to die on me this morning. I could tell right away it was from it. Sadly I'm more of a software guy than a hardware guy and I have never changed anything besides a hard drive and 2 RAMs on my PCs so changing the PSU seemed scary for me. This helped a lot especially at the point where I realized I didn't connect the hard drive to the PSU. Your video was very informative saying what everything is for and what is for older models and what is for newer models and I genuinely know now how all of this stuff works. Thanks a bunch.

As a fellow builder the past 25+ years, I feel confident of every plug in a PC. But yesterday I broke my USB 3.0 19 pin cable, I am just glad I did not break my motherboard, i was just jiggle it carefully out. The housing around the pins was stuck in the insane expensive Asus e670x hero mobo. Wish I watched a similar video about signal cables. Thank you for the entertaining and informative video.

That 3.0 connection is soooo horrible and the pins are soooooo flimsy. Thankfully they are very easy to bring back, as long as you don't force them in and break the pin, its happened hahah.

Hey! Nice video! But got an extra question. I have the following: PSU: ROG STRIX 1000W Gold Aura Edition GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC The thing is that on the PSU Asus only provided 2x 6+2-pins while my GPU needs 3x 8pins. There is also a 12+4-pins support and Asus provided two cables: 12vhpwr to 12vhpwr and 12vhpwr to 2x 8pins. My question would be, is it 'safe' (As I know it's possible just asking how safe is it) to use 12vhpwr to 2x 8pins and 1x 6+2pins cable to provide power to the GPU?

@ThisBytesForYou 9 ай бұрын

your power support brings 2 x 8Pin PCIE cables, and 1 x PCIE cable that splits off to 2 x8Pins. Use both of the 8Pin PCIE straight cables, then use 1 of the 2 ends of the cable that breaks out to 2. So in total, there would be 3 cables, 2 x 8Pin cables and 1 cables that breaks out to 2, but you would only use one. This is a picture of your cables: c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll1280/17-320-038-01.png, you would use cable #4 and #5. PCI-E 1-to-1 Cable x 2 (700mm) and PCIe-E 1-to-2 Cable x 1 (700mm)

Hello and great video! I have an alienware r13 and it came with a non modular 750w psu. The power connector for the gpu is a daisy chained 6 and 8 pin connector cable where the 8 pin is being used for the oem nvidia 3060ti. I purchased an aftermarket gigabyte gtx 3070ti and it did not come with a power corrector but requires 2 × 8 pin connection. My question is do you feel it safe for me to buy an 8 pin to 2 x 8 pin pcie adapter to make it work? Or am i out of luck? I'm new to this and learning on the fly so really interested in your thoughts. Thank you!

@ThisBytesForYou 4 ай бұрын

Thanks my friend, so the recommended PSU for that is 750Watts, so you are good, and thats usually for more than it needs, and an entire system but you want to daisy chain an 8Pin to spin off to 2 x 8Pins, ... splitting the power of 150Watts, into 2, 75Watts per connector, I dont recommend it. Do you have the manufacturer and model number of that psu?

@ThisBytesForYou That's not what I meant! But I've never seen a hdd with both styles of plugs! To the best of my recollection! And no, I wouldn't plug both in at the same time, if I had one like the one you showed! Just so ppl know,do not touch the parts on a hardrives mobo to the steel chassis or hdd goes pfzzt! With a tiny puff of smoke!

@@davidrussell8795 yeah, when SATA first came out, of course Molex was king, so HDD manufactures as you can imagine had MILLIONS of these chassis' laying around, so they added the SATA connection to save money and resources, after a period of time, the dual interface died off since the resources depleted. I was a product development engineer with Alienware when SATA was released, so I had worked with thousands, maybe millions of them. Right, that's why there are stand offs on a case, to separate the motherboard from the chassis, to not fry it.

My pre-built pc came with the cheaper power supply, which I’m not a fan of, since it means all the cords are stuck to the power supply (including the ones not being used). It is a wirey nightmare.

well this can help you detach it and know what are the cables are so you can plug a new one in, a modular one, I have my amazon affiliate link in the description for this power supply, its awesome.

@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you for the recommendation, also the video helped a lot. I mostly took apart my pc just to take a look at the inside and clean some stuff up (also I’ve never really looked into the parts of it) so it’s great to know what each plug does. I just finished putting it back together and it works like it was originally.

The molex wasn't too bad if you weren't pulling the harddrive out 50 xs like I did! That's when u had connections problems!

@ThisBytesForYou Ай бұрын

Molex was a nightmare, one offs is nothing but when you build hundreds a day, you really feel how bad the design is, SATA is easier, just flimsy

So would it be normal for the SATA cables to remain unplugged?

@ThisBytesForYou Ай бұрын

Yes, if you're not using it

@@ThisBytesForYou I’ll be adding a 1 TB NVMe, I don’t need the SATA cables for that right? Just need to install under M.2?
