If I am replacing a PSU, I like to connect the mobo and SATA cables first and route them to the place where the PSU will be. Then I route the PCI-E cables for the GPUs, install the PSU in place and connect everything to it. Finally, I install the cards and plug the PCI-E cables to them. This is just how I like to do it (and it is convenient in my current setup) but there are other ways .
Excellent. My case has a good back panel where the current PSU cables are routed and it's very tidy. Hopefully i'll make it clutter free. Seems as though routing the cables tidily is the most time consuming part.
Routing the cables always takes me long time even if at the end results are not great. With my case it is very easy to connect them to the PSU once they are routed, though, that is good .
Ya but does it matter which side you plug in ? One side says CPU and the other says " Type 4 "
According to YouTube, the " Type 4 " side goes into the PSU
Only thing is, the PCIe and CPU both look similar on the PSU side, ( obviously different on the other side where they plug into the GPU and CPU power )
If I plug in one at a time should be ok
Great PSU, I have one too The capacitors on the RM***x series cables is worth taking note of as they make the cable ends quite chunky and don't flex as easily.
Depending which 8 pin you have in your hand (CPU or PCI), I think the PCI has 1 live cable missing and it doubles up on the ground on the GPU end (you'll see 2 cables daisy chained into 1).
Those molex just look like power, but you also seem to have 3 pin as well. I'm going to assume that the molex is just for the LED's, but they wont be addressable.
