This is honestly such a great video you just made me feel so much more assured. When I first started building my PC and I put the CPU and the RAM and all that stuff into the motherboard everything went so smooth and easy, but when it came to connecting the cables I started sweating buckets. My confidence is now restored, thank you so much!
This just made building a PC, so much easier. My confidence level just got boosted(in PC Building). It makes more sense now, the cable bit was the most confusing portion of building a PC.
Thank you. This video actually explained what I needed to know compared to lots of other "experts" that just yammer along for an hour without actually explaining anything.
First time builder here thanks for the info it saved me a tonne of time telling me each cable does as my power supply had everything conected to it so was figuring out what each cable was for lol and whether or not they all had to be connected in.
omg thank you for this. I got a new PSU and I was freaking out trying to figure out how and where to install everything. THANK YOU!!! Now, I feel confident when my PSU comes in.
i remember watching this for my first pc build at 13 in august 2020, can confirm if 13 year old me was able to follow this video then most likely anyone can. i still come back to this video whenever i get a new pc/parts.
Nice work again! Perhaps mention that all of the cables are keyed so that there's only one right way to insert them on the motherboard? You can easily determine which way a cable needs to go by either comparing the socket with the plug, or just looking for where the clip locks onto the socket. SATA cables have an L-shape for both power and data connections.
This was precisely the video I needed! Precise, to-the-point, helpful and informative! That's all I needed to know!! I had a general idea of what needed to go where and was reassured that sometimes they do just need a little force ☺
There are so many cords! Why this many? Why the heck can't it be like , say, a power strip, with all the ports in a row? I admit, I'm easily intimidated by new tech related tasks, but this feels like it's more elaborate than it needs to be. Thank you for making the video; this will help.
@@user-mk4or5yu9r Depending on the case you would insert the PSU either in the bottom in the back (most commonly). The PSU or case should also come with screws that will let you secure the PSU in place.
Thank you so much for this! This is a old video and you probably wont see this but I was so worried when it came to plugging in everything and doing cable management.
My power supply has the cords already attached, and I hate it do much. Everything gets tangled so easily and I have to fight with the cords every time I want to change something, or fix my ram because someone else decided to mess with my PC
I have to install a new PSU to handle a new video card and VR headset and your video made feel more confident about doing it. I hope it goes as smoothly as yours did. Thanks!
Great video, but I’m building a PC rn and the owner is using intagrated graphics so I have nothing to plug in the PCie cables and now it doesn’t turn on
Thank you so much for the help! I just bought a new PSU recently and I was so confused by the CPU and PCI-E cables, even if they had written on them (very clever idea from Segotep) I didn't knew what to insert on the motherboard between these two, in that moment I searched for it on RUclips and this video comes in the first place! 👍🏼
Ok so im legit up to cables at the moment and this video is amazing, however what did she plug the molex cable into, and if it was the adaptor where does that go?
I had finished installing my own, different brand powerful supply, and for some reason my pc still wasn't turning on. Your video helped me to go over what I had done and replace some cables that were plugged in to the wrong place. My pc is now running! Thank you for this video and information!
I'm working with an older power supply (only about 7 maybe 8 years old) and I am having a hard time getting inside it doesn't have the connectors on the outside
Wanted an rtx 3080 but got served the middle finger and needed to spend an extra almost $100 to upgrade my psu cause I only got 500w. Thanks all those wires were terrifying but I'm good to go now! Just got to wait for a new power supply and then an extra 1 million years for the gpu to restock. Also one question. Does anything have to be removed, plugged in, then reinstalled to get all the wires connected or can I just disconnect all the wires in there that I need to and then plug in the wires from the new psu?
I have a dvd reader in my computer. I’m assuming that will need to be hooked up too? Is there a standard cord for those or do I have to look into my computer and see which cord it uses?
It's been a long while since I've personally used an optical drive, but as long as it's it super old (IDE old) it should use a Sata power and Sata data cable. The Sata power cable comes off the PSU and the Sata data cable connects the drive to the motherboard ☺️
I noticed today a burn smell coming from my pc, turned it off and then tried to reboot. No display but the fans and lights still work. I noticed the psu red voltage switch in the back looked a lil burnt. What should i do?
I am new to building a pc and this video has helped a lot. I have one question though: Do the cables come with the power supply or would they come separate, for example the 24 pin cable coming with the mother board?
I have a doubt. My power supply is a Corsair RM Series RM 850 (2019) 80 + Gold Full Modular Power Supply and its cables in some places that deflect the pins (as well as the respective wire) do not have. Is it even so or is it a manufacturing defect?
hi i have same power supply so my video card has two 8 pin insertions but that would require me using two VGA cables, each connecting to a different spot on the power supply. Do I only use the one cable or am I meant to fill the entire bit out
I have a question; I have a HP desktop MO1 and I’m going to install a EVGA - BA Series 500W but i don’t know if it will fit. If you might know, pls reply
Our same PHI 5600 is having issues where the High Voltage isn't turning on. The power "on" works on the x-ray supply 20-040 but the high voltage isn't Turing on even after waiting some time. Any ideas?
Ideal thanks very much was looking for a step-by-step guide for a power supply, would have preferred the one I got, RM1000X but I hope I get how to do this for this one showing. Thanks again
Hello.I have a slot called CPU PWR 1 and one called CPU PWR 2. Only the cpu power 1 adapter came out of the psu box.Will there be a problem? The system is working now
i was trying Corsair HX1200 on Asus Maximus XII Hero , thanks to you i found out the cables that came with PSU arent compatible with the power/cpu connectors on the board, leading to powering everything but the pc isn't booting at all , i feel bad
3 года назад
Does it matter if i connect the ssd on the beginig end or middle of the cable??
24 pin connectors are never slightly finiky to connect to a motherboard.. they are ultra super stupendusly very difficult to connect all the time! when i apply even more slightly pressure to push the connector further into board, it still doesn’t work
@ 3:44 4 pin header.I have a ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO (WI-FI) AMD Socket X470 AM4 ATX Motherboard. Do I plug in the other 4 pin header too. left of (x2) 4 pin?

@Chaim Jedidiah why would i want to do that? that seems like an breach of privacy and just a generally creepy thing to do
This is LITERALLY the only video I could find of someone showing how to split the 4+4 CPU cable without damaging it! Thanks.
This just made building a PC, so much easier. My confidence level just got boosted(in PC Building). It makes more sense now, the cable bit was the most confusing portion of building a PC.
Love portions
This is the real Step-By-Step not like other videos says step by step and they skip some steps. Thanks for this helpful video !!!!.
installed a rig 2 years ago, with your video. here for another build and SERIOUSLY you are the best
Thank you. This video actually explained what I needed to know compared to lots of other "experts" that just yammer along for an hour without actually explaining anything.
I watched so many build guide tutorials but I always get confused when it comes to plugging cables. this cleared everything up! thanks a lot
3 years later, this video's still saving lives. You guys rock, Thanks!!!
First time builder here thanks for the info it saved me a tonne of time telling me each cable does as my power supply had everything conected to it so was figuring out what each cable was for lol and whether or not they all had to be connected in.
This video was an absolute lifesaver. THANK YOU for showing both ends of each cable. You've done what PSU manufacturers fail to lol.
omg thank you for this. I got a new PSU and I was freaking out trying to figure out how and where to install everything. THANK YOU!!!
Now, I feel confident when my PSU comes in.
Happy to hear that Sky! Power supplies can seem a little overwhelming at first, but we believe in you! Happy building!
@@ThermaltakeAustralia thx
glad im not the only one who felt this way. it does look much simpler than i had originally thought.

Building my son a computer tonight (right before the start of 2022) and this video helped clarify several things. Thank you.
Best Guide there is for this. Was sooo anxious about turning on the power for the first time before I found this!
Just thank you I've been building a pc and that was the only thing I was confused with
i cant really describe how thankful i am for this video.

There are modular PSUs out there with removable connectors, so i guess that solves it lol
probably one of the most straightforward tutorials ive ever seen
nice work 👍
@@user-mk4or5yu9r Depending on the case you would insert the PSU either in the bottom in the back (most commonly). The PSU or case should also come with screws that will let you secure the PSU in place.
Just bought a brand new psu and soiled myself when it wouldnt turn on. Thank you for the PCI-E/CPU tip that was the problem!
I love the host's sophisticated vibe!
finally the type of vid ive been looking for since i kept confused with fully modular psu
Sure wish this had been around when I did my first build. Nice job! I'm on build #2 now and your video cleared up a lot of questions.
"Most GPUs use only one PCIe cable"
*Laughs in triple 8 pin cables*
Hahaha, little did we know the big ole 3000 series would destroy that statement 😂
YOU SAVED MY LIFE MY FRIEND AND I WERE STUCK WITH THE POWER SUPPLY FOR 3 HOURS THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Great video! This is by far the most complex of PC builds and this helped so much for my first build! Keep it up 🔥
Yes please. Explain like I'm 5. This is amazing.
Just wanna say thanks for the clarification between pci and cpu. I messed up between the 2
mine aren’t labeled so i had to interchange them
"Cpu cable can split"
You saved my day
Thank you so much for this! This is a old video and you probably wont see this but I was so worried when it came to plugging in everything and doing cable management.
Thanks a bunch for the comment, we really appreciate reading ones like these!
My power supply has the cords already attached, and I hate it do much. Everything gets tangled so easily and I have to fight with the cords every time I want to change something, or fix my ram because someone else decided to mess with my PC
You are a life saver. I forgot to plug in the 10 pin power lead back into the PSU. I thought I had a dud mobo for a min.
this is legitimately the best tutorial for me because this is the exact power supply im getting
What supply is is ? :)
*SIMPLE*
*PERFECT*
*CLEAN & CLEAR*
_★ I'm really loving that narrating girl. 🎋_

I successfully installed my GF1 ARGB 850W thanks to this!
Yeeeiw that's what we like to hear!
I probably should've watched this first before I started building my PC hahhaa! Now will go back to building xD
Great video! Finally someone that I can understand. This video deserves a like
Very helpful there's no case to distract from the actual material
just finishing my build Christmas morning thanks for this vid my son is gonna be so happy
You seem like a great dad

This is awesome to hear! Glad we could help you out!
This video us extremely reassuring and helpful for those of us just starting our first build. Thank you!
Thank you, now I shall try it on my PC :)
I'm new to pc building and want to know if I need to plug in every single cable or just the Motherboard, CPU, and GUP cables?
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN IT ALL
Thank you thank you. New build pc wouldn't turn on and your guide on 24 pin cable connections sorted out my issue. Much appreciated.
Ok so im legit up to cables at the moment and this video is amazing, however what did she plug the molex cable into, and if it was the adaptor where does that go?
2:12...really !? i was waiting to see where to use this exact cable !
this video didn’t hold to my unbelievably high standards!1!1!1!1!!!!11!

Hopefully it wasn’t rhe PCIe that was plugged in the wrong place
Holy shit THANK YOU. Multiple videos and this one I found extremely useful
Awesome sauce! Thanks for watching.
Setting up to build a pc and this was extra informative! Thanks!
Glad we could help!
I'm working with an older power supply (only about 7 maybe 8 years old) and I am having a hard time getting inside it doesn't have the connectors on the outside
Currently looking at a PSU roughly similar to this but I like the idea of semi modular rather than full.
Great video! I got my psu all good I just don’t know where to put my cables into the mb.
OMG Thank you I have been looking for hours just to find something like this! Keep it up despite the amount of clout you get!

Replace your power supply immediately and dont turn the pc back on until you do
Thank you very much, I am new to building a new PC. This was a clear video and straight to the point. SUBBED! !
Hi! I have the same mother board used in the video and I am new to building pc’s. Where does the molex fit into?

Ya
I'm gonna buy components tomorrow
really great video, did like that part where you explained how to mount your PSU in case and which way fan should point to xD

If I've to split the 8 pin connector into 4+4 should i plug into PSU the other end with 8 pins or splitted in a half?
