For some of you that may not know, always keep your old PSU cables in the same box as the PSU that they came with. Never mix full modular PSU cables with other PSU's. It could fry your PSU and or your computer.
This is so true and reason for those wonder is voltage polarity will not be managed properly if you mix cables that belong to different manufacturers, even those of same manufacturers in some cases. And reason for that is different pin layout schema that different cables follow since there is no industry standard in this. TL;DR: IF YOU LACK CABLES EITHER DIRECTLY ASK YOUR OWN MANUFACTURER OR DON'T EVEN BOTHER.
does that apply to replacing a modern corsair 550 PSU with a corsair 850 PSU? I was hoping not to replace every cable, just the one for a new GPU as it needs a different connector.
Thank you many for this simple clear illustration video, i got zero experience with psus and pc mainly used laptops so NOW i can buy the psu safely and happily!
Hi Flash, I just bought the same PSU as yours. I'm a beginner on building a PC. If I'm not wrong, at 9:26, those two spare 8 headers ports beside the PCIE cables that you plugged in are also for PCIE cables rights? Thank you
Question; where do I hook up my 360mm AIO to a asus- motherboard, especially the two wires attached to the pump head. And how to hook up the 3 fans,etc. I need help.(I’m new to it)😅
I have the same psu ,it's relly nice ,only one thing ,and it's so important, you should buy one more pci-e cable for your gpu because is not recommended use 2 only when your gpu needs 3 ,okay both cables has 2 connectors at the end but you are forcing to pass trough 1 cable the power that should pass by 2 . In my case I have a rx6800 xt gaming z trio from msi and need 3 for that I bought 1 more for this psu and let get power smoothly my gpu.
I have to wonder the same thing. I've had this PSU for 4 years and never had an issue with it. But I upgraded my GPU from a 5700XT (which has 1x 6pin and 1x 8pin connector) to a RX6900XT (which has 2x 8pin connectors) and since the swap, I always have an issue where it will take several attempts at hitting the power button before the PC posts. I have always used the PCIe splitter cable that plugs into 1-PCIe port on the PSU to 2x 8pin GPU plugs. This PSU has several PCIe outputs and I'm wondering if just coming off of one for this huge GPU, is enough. Thinking about trying one cable per 8pin connector on the GPU. So that would be 2 cables. But where are you needing a 3rd cable? I have not seen a GPU with more than 2x 8pin inputs?
HELP. is it possible to connect the Corsair RM850 2021 PSU, using the Corsair PCIe 5.0 600 W cable/Gen 5 12VHPWR PSU cable (Suitable for PCU Type-4) to a rtx 4080?
Are the CPU and PCIE cables the exact same function? I would prefer to use the 3 CPU cables as: 1-CPU and 2,3-PCIE. Will that be the same result? Or is there a difference?
Hey I have the exact same PSU, was wondering how is your PC doing? I see you've done a daisy chain which seems to be something people frown upon. And there are also people who are against using third party PCIE cables because it'd fry your PC. So I am kinda stuck right now as I am not sure what to do...
Not a single issue. It is frowned upon to daisy chain and use third party cables but I did research on the cables I bought and they are rated the same as the cables that came with the psu. I’ve never had any issues with voltage or anything related to electrical.
@@flashhobbies did it come with the premium white cables or the standard black ones, i think the RM850x came with the black ones with the premium white costing extra?
I have a question. I have a Msi Tomahawk b450 max, ryzen 5 3600 with a geforce rtx 2060 with a low power supply unit (forgot the wattage) used it for about 3 years with no problems. I just upgraded to a ryzen 9 5900x with an Msi rtx 3080 ti and new power supply, same as yours but black.. using same motherboard. Connected all wires correctly and I'm getting the red light for the "cpu" with "no signal" on monitor. I have tried everything, nothing seems to be working. Do I need a new motherboard? I have read on many different platforms that it will still work, just going to lose a minor amount of bandwidth which I don't really care about. I don't know how to fix it, it's driving me crazy, been at it for a whole day. Do you or anyone know a solution to the red light? I resetted the cmos, took the battery out put it back, nothing seems to be working and idk what the issue is.
Hi, I have a problem, I spent almost all my money on an RX 6950XT and they tell me that I have to buy a 1000w source. Does this RM850 not work for me? It's the most money I have left but I don't want my PC to blow, or have to buy an Aresgame font.
Hi, I recently purchased a PSU like this one you're showing in your video. I've been noticing a specific noise when the fan kicks in. I can hear it because my setup is very quiet, so even the slightest sound stands out. It's not the sound of air flowing, it's more like... I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it reminds me of the sound a fridge makes when it turns on. Obviously, it's not as loud or intense as a fridge, but it's that kind of electrical hum. I've noticed similar sounds in other UA-cam videos when the fan starts to spin. I was wondering if you experience the same noise with your PSU and if it's considered normal?
I’ve never had a noise with mine. My system is loud though. I have a 3 fan aio and it makes a lot of noise. Some noise shouldn’t be an issue. I’d be more concerned with a grinding noise.
Depends what gpu. Im pretty sure i googled correctly, that one cable supports 150 watts, so if your gpu uses 200 you want 2 cables. If its an older or lower watt card you can daisy chain them.
A lot of bad reviews on Newegg saying it was "Dead on Arrival", which is BS. . . THey prolly forgot to press the manual power button on the back of the PSU.

Yes correct
How did you remove the second part of the second pcie cable? I have a 3x8 pin gpu and the one side of the seconde pcie cable is stil outside
Thanks for this! I've never had this kind of command core before and it was nice to have a sanity check. :)
I have the same white Battlecruiser and is good to see how it looks that PSU on it, because I'm considering to buy it.
Great video, not some nonsense IJustine- grade pc part review.
Will I need to get new GPU cords for a 16 pin gpu ?
what if I have 2x4 pin cpu , where do I plug the other cpu cable in the psu after there is only 1 cpu port in the psu ? You don't show it right..
my gpu has 3 8 pin connectors wtf do i do now? they gave me 3 cpu cables but only 2 pci cables
Thank you for sharing amigo. Damien from Ireland
I just ordered this PSU. I hope it solves my problem that i've been having for a couple years. (Intermitten freezes, random shut downs).
Have you ruled out temps as an issue?
did it solve the issues?

At 10:15 that one cable splits. Which end do I plug in and which is supposed to be extra

So what you’re saying is to use 3 cables if your GPU needs 3 ?
Recommended by whom?

Isn’t the 2 slots on right you used for pcie not for CPU? I had both my pcie/vga cable on 2 to the left.
Is the main power cable specific to the PSU unit? Will a 500w one from previous psu be ok?
I would not use a 500w power supply cable for a 850w psu that seems like a recipe for disaster
not the britest here if i have a second CPU cable cuz newer motherboards 2+8pin wheres the second one?
whats the wattage/va of your ups?
