Super confused newb, need help with wiring!

Ken Masters · Aug 18, 2014

I have 4 cables that have no place to go (as far as I can see). Everything else is assembled in the comp, but one SATA cable is out, and I don't see an extra slot in my HDD for it. The other 3 cables are part of a group. There's a small 4-pin cable connected to a large 4-pin cable that's connected to another large 4-pin cable. I read the sticky and it didn't help. I apologize in advance if I'm not using the right terminology for these parts, as I'm not that tech savvy.

photos will help. Also where the cables are coming from. Make and model of PSU and motherboard, as well as the case will also be helpful.

I'm not sure what motherboard it is, or PSU, but all of the wires are coming from the PSU. Also, sorry for the garbage iPad pics. I've also noticed that there is already a SATA cable in both the HDD and the optical drive, as (poorly) shown from the pictures.

PSUs have extra cables incase you choose to add extra HDDs, Fans, or any extra components later on. Just tuck them away as best as you can.
