Switched from a non module to a modular PSU. I had my CPU cable plugged into my GPU. Make sure to read the cables since they’re both 8pin! This was the video that helped me realize my mistake.
This is by far the best video for a setup I’ve seen! I had been watching videos for a week straight and ran across this one and it was the most helpful thank you!

Awesome. Corsair's quick guide is a bit vague. Note. Regarding CPU power, my Asus motherboard (for an AMD AM5 - Ryzen 9 7900X) CPU has both an ATX_12V_1 and ATX_12V_2 where ATX_12V_1 is 8 pins and ATX_12V_2 is 4 pins. Depending on your power supply, the Corsair "+12V (EPS 12V) cable supplied by Corsair has a cable plug is designed to separate in two to accommodate 4 pin setups (see their instructions below). Note that per some posts, it appears that while ATX_V1 is needed, ATX_V2 may be optional and only be needed in some cases (such as heavy overclocking). Per Corsair, for the 2021 RMx series power supplies: 1. Make sure the power supply’s AC power cable is not connected. 2. Follow the directions in your chassis manual and install the power supply with the screws provided. 3 . Connect the 24-pin (ATX) cable to the motherboard. Connect the eight-pin +12V (EPS12V) cable to the motherboard: a. If your motherboard has an eight-pin +12V socket, connect the eight-pin cable directly to your motherboard. b. If your motherboard has a four-pin socket, detach the four-pin from the eight-pin cable, and then plug this four-pin cable directly to your motherboard. c. Some motherboards will require a mix of 8+4 pins, use as many EPS12V cables as necessary and do not mistake them for PCIe cables." 4. Connect the peripheral cables, PCI-Express cables, and SATA cables. a. Connect the SATA cables to your SATA SSD or hard drive’s power sockets. b. Connect the PCI-Express cables to the power sockets of your PCI-Express video cards if required. c. Connect the peripheral cables to any peripherals requiring a 4-pin connector. d. Make sure all the cables are tightly connected. Be sure to save any unused modular cables for future component additions. 5. Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and turn it on by pushing the switch to the ON position (marked with “I”)."
Thank you for this guide, I am also using the same power supply and tech illiterate! My psu died last night and i ordered a new one coming tmrw, hope all goes well :D
Just to be sure, when you first unplug the power cables, you remove them from the case and you get rid of them to use the ones tham come with the new psu?
I have the same case and a very similar power supply but my 4070 graphics card needs 2 PCIe cables and the power supply didn’t come with enough. Built my whole pc before realizing and now i have to wait for one more cable to come in the mail
Are modular Psu cables long enough for motherboard connection in mid tower case going from the back ? Can pcie cable for graphic card be long enough to route from the edge of the card to psu ?
I got a new corsair PSU to replace my dying rosewill 1000w, noticed my 3090 losing display constantly, turns out the PSU is randomly not giving power to the 3090. I'll be replacing my rosewill one with a corsair 1000W. I'll be using this guide as a reference
im getting ready to purchase a new graphics and and a new PSU, so this video came across as extremely easy to follow. i wlll be saving this for when i finally get them! this has eased alot of worries i was having
So I only need the 1 cable that says cpu and I plug that into the 8 slots also what’s the other 4 slots beside it ? Is that where the PCIe cables plug into to ??
Dude thank you so much!! im 13 and my brothers helped me put my pc together last time but this time i wanted to do it and i was super confused at the PSU part and the other tutorials were confusing & didn't cover what to plug in and where.
Just bought the updated version of this from last year this will be my 3rd PSU from this brand The first was a 650 regular all cables then upgraded to the same watt butt semi mod now going to the 750w semi mod No PSU ever died for me
i got the 850, and it's interesting it came with different cables... one that I need for the CPU socket doesn't even fit in the mobo (wrong orientation)... PCpartpicker says compatibal using 8pin EPS? but i dont have that.
Question: I want to use Corsair RMX750 in a NAS server build with support for 15 NAS drives + 3 other drives. A little confused and worried about how to use SATA splitters for power/data. PSU has 5 SATA power out slots. Is it safe to use Power splitters? Motherboard has 3+3 SATA pins. So we will need Data cable splitters too! What is the suggested process?
Ty for this video, after I needed to get new PSU this video help me get it back and after some test and gettting my ram to work again my pc now works :D just awsome video! :D
Is additional cable required for case RGB connection? On my computer, I connected the RGB cables to the motherboard, but the fans are not working stably. I tried to connect RGB cables to the PSU, but the input and output ports did not fit.
I tried to clean my pc case and there is a mesh under my case covering my psu it had two sides one rough that if i touched it would stick to my clothes and one smooth i dont remember witch side to put it on please help.
i got a question so i got a prebuilt pc but i bought a graphics driver but i cant find the connecters for the pci graphics card? i need help pls? its a xilncer AC230V
I plan to get the corsair RM750e power supply for my gaming pc that is about 5 years old now the old evga one 650w was starting to reboot the pc randomly so its time for a upgrade, I made sure it was not software related since I had windows reinstalled and such and still did it. I am using a msi motherboard which is decent for the job. Hopefully it will function properly after the replacement is done.
hello i want to know im gona build a pc soon or not like but il gona buy a case and ram and cpu and mother board i was wondering how do i know if the power suply is going to have the rigth cable from my gpu and cpu and the mother board or are they sl the same
Hey dude, your just about the only video i can find connecting an 8 pin gpu, i have the gigabyte windforce 4070 oc with an 8 pin slot, is it literally just one 8 pin in the psu and one 8 pin in the gpu and thats enough power? I was under the impression standard pcie only provides 150w and my 4070 needs 200w... just worried i wont be supplying enough power
i have the RM 750e psu-the power cord that was included with it doesn't fit properly into the psu's 3 pin socket and because of this the psu doesn't power up properly (because of the loose cable) and i have to wiggle it several times to get a proper connection.This is really a hassle-i wonder what could be causing this.Did you experience any such issues with your psu?
Hi there friend and thanks for the vid, i just purchased the rmx 1000x and i noticed some tiny like scratches on some of the cables when i took them out of the plastic bag. The psu works fine but i cant say for sure if this is a problem or not, Do all cables come like this from factory maybe? do you know something about this?
Interesting, I haven't noticed scratches on any of my cables. If they're not gouges I wouldn't be too worried about it but if they're scratched and indented maybe contact the company.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday super thanks for the quick reply man!! no there are very tiny ones ,i only notice them with a flashligh but they are definetely there I will probably give it back on monday just to be sure and ask them to give me another one. The weird thing is that i noticed some scratches in some other corsair psus that i own but in a lesser degree ,anyway, Have a nice day!
Hello I need a power supply, what would be your recommendation or what would be your order.? case Lianli lancool 3 be-quiet-straight-power-12-80-platinum-1000w MSI MPG A1000G be-quiet-pure-power-12m-bn345-1000-w corsair-1000w-rm1000e thanks..
They are designed to go in both directions. Depending on your situation you can put it up or down. It actually draws the air in and blows it out the back of the power supply.
Hello, i have a problem, i have a 400W (circle gaming) power supply (smps) it is giving power to the motherboard my pc boots up fine display turns on fine every fan is spinning but only the power supply fan is not spinning its size is (12 cm, 120 mm)
You should use the new cables as they're designed to work with that power supply. I've heard some people have troubles with not switching out the cables.
My rtx3080 neeeeds 24 pins :( so 3x8 .. i have only 2 cables .. but each has 2x8 pins . anywaym, they recommend to use 3 different cables but i have 2 only and the psu is semi modular. the main cables cannot be disconnected and the only ports where i could add another cable are called HDD/SATA and they each have 5 pins entry. Is is it ok to use a cable 5 pins from psu to gpu or to buy another psu ? ^^ thxxx

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, for some reason I thought the motherboard only had the 24 pin and not an additional 8+8 pin connector . Thanks this clarified things
You're very welcome 🤗
Just to be sure, when you first unplug the power cables, you remove them from the case and you get rid of them to use the ones tham come with the new psu?
Yes, I would use all the cables that come with the PSU and not old ones
And i was being worried about that? Great tutorial!

Wonderful. The clarity is second to NONE :) 😍🤩

I got the same case and psu. This is coincidentally useful!
Perfect 👍
How do i know if my cpu needs both 8 pin or only needs 1. If it only needs 1 8 pin wire and i put 2 into my motherboard will it break
If the ends of the CPU cable are different would you not explain how they are different and which end goes where???
Amen
I have the same case and a very similar power supply but my 4070 graphics card needs 2 PCIe cables and the power supply didn’t come with enough. Built my whole pc before realizing and now i have to wait for one more cable to come in the mail

Are modular Psu cables long enough for motherboard connection in mid tower case going from the back ? Can pcie cable for graphic card be long enough to route from the edge of the card to psu ?
They have been long enough for all of my builds.... but it's possible for them not to be long enough on some cases.
