Got confused with that splitted 24 pin, thanks!
Bro sounds like a Souls game NPC
😂😂😂😂😂
OMG I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS OUT HERE.
Hi, I'm fron Brazil. Just built my Second PC and was able to not plug the the PSU the right Way (thought o didnt need the extra pins 😂).
You Just saved my life man ❤
👍🏼👍🏼
@TheProvokedPrawn what's the difference between the a850g and a850gl
me salva, no site do fabricante fala que são 2 cabos 6+2 mas to querendo uma rx7900xtx que precisa de 3, esses 2 6+2 são bifurcados (total 4 conexões) ou só 2 mesmo? outra pergunta é se o 4+4 separa, as placas amd que vi são 8 com 4 e não 8 e 8
Thanks for this video. I was completely lost when I saw all the cords got everything running first try because of this vid.
Thanks. Here's a playlist you might find useful too - How to build a gaming PC: ua-cam.com/play/PLlRFhsGPgCG9yKCHtL2_UnwSGitMqao5z.html
I had a desktop computer 20 years ago. Lived with laptops all this time. The video did not notice that sata and molex are plugged into the fan and rgb controller. I also couldn't see a direct example of how to plug in the amd gpu in the video, but I understand that it could be as simple as plugging in everything else :). Thank you for the work done! I love it!(Sorry translate ;/
)
Didn't know where to plug the 8 pin connected to the 24 pin into! Helped alot! 👍
Glad to help
From my RX 7800 XT. This PSU included two of the new 12v cables. One was for Nvidia GPUs like you demonstrated well. However, the other connected to the same port in the PSU but then split into two separate (not the pigtailed pcie 8 pin) pcie 6+2 pin connectors. I seem to be having issues verifying this, but I believe that cable is all you need for AMD cards. Again I'm not talking about using the pigtailed pcie 8 pin connectors, I'm talking about a 16 pin connector that plugs into the 12v port and branches to two separate 6+2 pin GPU connectors. You seem to know this PSU well. Can you verify using that cable (I'm new to these new units) is correct and safe for normal GPUs that require two 8 pin (6+2) cables? I can't imagine why else they would include this cable otherwise, but I wanted to double check. Thanks for the class video mate.
Your guide saved me thank you so much
Glad to help Blake. I've also got a playlist that might be useful - How to build a gaming PC: ua-cam.com/play/PLlRFhsGPgCG9yKCHtL2_UnwSGitMqao5z.html
thank you so much for this video i thought i burnt my psu but i just didnt connect the other atx cable
Thank you for the detail video with bird eye view and side by side. Planning to upgrade from the 4060 to 4070S with a 750 PSU.
Thanks for watching. Are you sure 750 is enough? Have you checked a psu calculator
Just to answer my own question, after doing a lot of research and speaking with two other UA-camrs that created recent videos on the newer PSU units. This and most 3.0 ATX and 5.0 pcie support units come with two cables that connect to the new 12v (16 pin) connector. One is for Nvidia GPUs that go 16 pin to 16 pin directly. The second, is a 16 pin to a branch of two 8 pin (6+2 pin) cables for standard cards. Again, these are not the pigtailed/daisy chained 8 pin pcie cables but the counter part to the 16 pin to 16 pin for Nvidia cards. This cable is able to pump the same amount of wattage to standard GPU connections as it does new Nvidia cards, so it's recommended. It also only requires one connection to the PSU, rather than having to connect two pcie 8 pin cables.
This is a great PSU btw. It's quiet, comes with all the most modern features and cables, and delivers all the wattage it advertises out of the box brand new. In the future I'd like to see power supply reviews do a complete breakdown of every cable that comes with it and how it should be connected. It's important. Otherwise good video.
I didn't have that cable
@@TheProvokedPrawn interesting I'm looking at the box right now. Mag A850G PCIE 5. It's missing the "L." That's weird, they look identical. Either way it provides information to future units. I've gone through dozens of power supplies in my lifetime and this is the first time I've ever seen that cable. Hopefully it helps someone. Class video!
My first time installing PSU and 3060 gpu hopefully it goes well
Big thanks for this tutorial ! Helped me a lot
Glad to help
Hello sirrr, is the powersupply good I'm thinking to get it 750gl for my 4070 super, will appreciate your response thanks
ua-cam.com/video/dNseVxqqar0/v-deo.html
just ordered this. what is noise like? also my MB is only cpu 8-pin can i just put that cable into cpu or pcie part
The video MSI should have made - thanks for the sanity check.
I have the a750 pcie5 with a b650 eagle ax mobo, it'd generally be the same installation?
Thanks in advance, videos already helped a lot
Also, you show installing the ssd through the sata cables but mine was just a chip that went right into the mobo, a little confused.
I have an RTX 4090 with an old 12VHPWR port instead. Can i still connect it to this PSU or would i need to buy a new PSU instead ?
Yes this works with the original 12vhpwr connections
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks a lot
Whats the difference between msi 850gl and 850g? Should i get 850g?
I looked this up, apparently the G has a silent fan mode whereas the GL does not
Does this come with 3 pcie cables? my gpu requires 3x8 pins
ima def need this tomarrow, got the same psu. and my motherboard comes in tomarrow
Dose it work how long have you had it
Do you recommend this psu for 3080 and is this psu worth ?
Wow you saved me so much time, I thaught I broke a piece or something when I built my pc, it was just the mobo supply 😆
Can you seperate 8 pin in 4 pin ?
Can you use the pcle cables for the gpu
I showed it in the video?
@@TheProvokedPrawn ok just making sure
Prawn superb video as always
Thanks
You save me greetings from brazil

Nice video, got me through some confusion. One thing that got me; my motherboard cpu power is 8 socket + 4 socket. I didn't realize you can separate the 8 pin cpu cable into a 4 pin.
But what's PC building without at least 1 freak out?
@spookyaction3236 I freaked out about the same thing. It's my 1st time building a pc, and I thought the psu wasn't compatible with the motherboard😅
This video is perfect
Thanks! Sub for more!
hi how do i know which cable side is to the mobo and which to the psu?
they only plug in one way
Is this PSU compatible with the XFX Speedster MERC310 7900XTX? The GPU has/requires 3x8, but from everything I can tell, this PSU only has 2x8. I'm brand new to PC building, so please, any any all advice is MUCH appreciated!
Same here, will never but msi power supplies again... cheap bastards only gave 2x pcie cables... my gpu has connections for 3 pcie slots.
There weird it’s 2 cables but 4 8 pin connectors as long as the gpu doesn’t pull over 375 w it works
Another question, my motherboard has 1 x 8-pin cpu power connector, will it work with this power supply?
Does this have a 8 pin connecter for a rtx 4060?
Thanks for the turorial !
Hope it helped and you enjoyed enough to subscribe
thank you mate but what about the noise?
i was watching this video for about an hour trying to figure out how you have CPU cables and i only had PCIE. When i tried plugging the pcie cables into my motherboard where the cpu cable was supposed to go. i realized that MSI gave me 4 PCIE cables instead of 2 cpu and 2 pcie. lol.
Hi, Thanks for your vids.
But I have 1 question for that specific PSU, do the cables support an 8+4 pin CPU?
Thanks in advance.
i have same question, u find it?
hello sir, I have a question. If i have 5000t case, i want to use RGB and connect with icue app but i don't want connect id cable & RGB cable to commander core xt in case ( can use 2 cables ID & RGB on Mainboard???), have any way let case 5000t use rgb???
Question, will this work with a rtx Asus 4070 super 16 pin video card?
Does this GPU happen to support RTX 4080 Super and Aorus B650 motherboard? I purchased this PSU for my build.
I'm trying to use the yellow gpu cord with my 3060ti but it doesn't fit, neither does the cord from my old psu to gpu, any suggestions? It is founders edition 3060ti
Do you not have an adapter with your GPU? I thought the founders edition cards had a special adapter.
Have you seen any coil whine sound???
hi can you help me, i bought an incorrect lian li strimer v2 which is dual 8pin , my gpu is 4070 super and has 1x16pin. is there a way i could still use the extensions?
I assume by 1 x 16pin you mean the 12vhpwr connector? You'll need to send it back or use the horrid adapter that came with your GPU sadly.
i doesn't show on 80 plus website
I have a question, my mother board had 1 8pin and 1 4pin for the power and not 2 8pins (msi pro b650m-a wifi motherboard). Will I still be able to use this power supply, or do I need to go for something else??? plz help...
Same issue here did you find a solution?
@Grifjaguar yup, basically the connector isn't a single 8-pin. It's two 4-pins that are clipped together, and you can separate them.
One end of the connector cable has a single 8-pin (that goes into the power supply), and the other end has two 4-pins clipped together to form an 8-pin.
I bought the power supply and installed it, and it works perfectly fine.
Should this psu for my rtx 3080 12gb plz guide me
Should be fine. Use a PSU calculator to see if it has enough wattage
thanks my man you help alot
Happy to help.
tnx for work!
You're welcome!
Hello a beginner here , just want to ask , i can see 4slots of 8pins CPU&PCI-E in the PSU , does it mean I can plug in any of those 4 slots for the CPU&PCI-E power?
I have the same question. I just have to connect one CPU wire but i am assuming I can connect it to the CPU&PCI-E that is next to the ATX 24P connector in the top left....
Double upload! 👍🏻👍🏻
where can i get more pcie cables for this psu?
Is this psu inherently loud in idle?
im going to immigrate to canada next next week and will build a new PC with 12600kf and 7900 GRE. do you recommend this?

@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks!
Choosing between this, the nzxt c850 gold and rm850e. Do u have a recommendation?
Not him but I’d go for 850e
Saved me, thank you
gl vs g series ?
My mobo has an 8 pin and a 4 pin. Do i use one cable
Did you find an answer?
Thanks!
Thanks for the super thanks. Glad it helped
Thank you
You're welcome
😊 all hail the brutton
😂
What if my board has 1 cpu connector
Just use one, that's fine
