Help with internal cables?

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 14:29

So, can you people help me with what plugs in to what? I got my parts today and I just need some help finding what goes into what.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 14:36

I've done the CPU cooler, but the thing is, I have a builder series PSU, it seems different from others...

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 14:38

Not too sure, but does anyone have pictures of where the cables are plugged in?

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 14:41

Already coming out.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 14:56

This is still really confusing, can't find the CPU plug in bit, I can't find anything help!!

I've found the CPU cable but it is a six pin connector, a bit confused here...

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:08

Well, there is no CPU connector then, the only ne labeled CPU is a six pin.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:09

I have read these guides and watched these videos, just it isn't clear enough, my 13 year old brain does not want to co operate.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:10

Sorry, made a small mistake, it's an 8 pin connector but my mobo is 4 pin...

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:15

Can't supply photos, this would be much simpler if I wasn't provided with tonnes of cables..

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:23

Ok, now that the CPU power is sorted, now it's time for the front panel stuff, anyone got a diagram for that? The one on the motherboard is confusing :s

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:34

Thanks, by the way, something's up with my front USB connector, it isn't long enough to reach the actually connector, any way of getting round this?

Buy an extension or strip the cable and extend it. If you could post a picture of how far away it is we can advise more.

I'll try to get a picture. Honestly, it's 1 pin off of being perfect, it's a little bit angled, and the photo I'm about to provide shows me pointing to it.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:49

There it is, I am pointing to it.

Looks like its got its wires wrapped around the USB 3.0 connector. I can't see a way around that.

Amazing case manufacturing.

That's what you get from a 30 quid case haha

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:55

My one question is, will I still be able to use the back usbs as they are crucial to gaming.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 17:00

Ok, now onto optical drives and hard drives, what's this Sata thing I'm hearing about?

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 17:05

Alright, I figured that one out before you guys got to me haha, just installing a had tray and then I should be good to go.

In the interests of safety, I would like to request on behalf of everyone on the power grid, a photograph of the inside of the whole PC before the first power on.

I'll do that, Im just gonna install the graphics card, can you also tell me what to do with that, and then, we can power up.
