The amount of cables boggles my mind. Thank you for explaining where they go and what they're for in an easy to follow way.

Not gonna lie, first timer here, so the beginning of the video almost scared me away xD But this was a fantastic guide. Thank you!

probably the best, most informative, and quickest video on psu cables. the instructions weren't clear and enough and i got my pcie 8 pin into my cpu 8 pin on mobo and it gave me enough juice to run Crysis at 60 fps in 240p.

Thanks for the helpful video, I opened my power supply box & saw all of the cables & thought "Oh no" thankfully I found your video and it helped me know where they went

low key thought you had a cat on you for the first 30 seconds

Wow, I really could have used this video about a year ago when I built my first PC, lol. I'll definitely reference this video if I need a refresher when I inevitably build another one, though. Thanks!

I was looking for a video with exactly this content, and what are the odds of us having the same psu. This made it even easier. Thanks so much, very instructional!

[rubberducky_o]

Nice and well explained. It's going to help me in my build. You have earned a new sub.

I was bout to give it to SOME TECH guy, but then a bit of YouTube research and wollah, u came, thank GOD.

Does anyone know why my power supply keeps burning out? The power supplies were brandnew. Is it due to getting hot, or is it due to the extension lead, or is it something else?

Now that's how you do it. Talk it, show it, describe while doing it. Not a buncha other bullshit lol. Awesome job. Now I just gotta figure out all these super tiny prongs for the power buttons.

I’m getting my pc in a couple days and the cables confused me a lot, until I watched this video thank u so much it was a great guide.

[andrewj.]

anyone who dislikes this video is basically saying, "I don't want free help with my cables and I know I will do this wrong and this is why i came to this video"

[ianclark]

This was the best video I've seen so far my only question left tho is for example if you only have 1 graphics card to u still have to plug in all the cables and just leave them hanging same for the ones that connect to hard drives and ssd

[theodorechatzis]

[IVANATOR]
