Ssd plugged inn to CPU Power, help!

kathir28 · Mar 20, 2015

hello
After I had cable tied my pc, I started it. But I saw the ssd was not recognised by the bios, so o checked. The Sata power cable was connected to the CPU power 4*4 /PCI express power on the PSU, instead of the dedicated Sata power connectors. Would this have ruined my ssd? Can I fix this ?

This week has been bad

It was connected to the CPU power.

What, exactly, do you mean by this?

A SATA power cable is required for a drive. Generally comes off the PSU.
Did you also connect the SATA data cable?

I'm not really sure what you connected. The SSD should be connected to a SATA data connector to the motherboard and a SATA power connector from the power supply.

Did your system boot up? It sounds like it did, so in which case, I would say that you are okay. I'm not sure if you damaged any pins on the SSD or not, or anywhere else.

There is physically no way you can plug a 2x2 power cable for the processor into the sata power conector.

Please explain what you are talking about, or pictures would be even better.

The Sata cable that was connected to the ssd, was connected to the 4*4/pci express connected on the PSU. I did connect the Sata data cable. Sorry for not writhing this properly

Still.....completely unsure of what and how you connected this.
And......WHY?

The Sata power cable was connected to the port on the PSU on the picture- http://m.imgur.com/8t0DB1G
I dint understand stat I had placed it in the wrong hole/port before it was too late

Ahhh...modular PSU, connected into the wrong connector.

What is the power output on each PSU port? If different, your dive may be screwed..
If the same, reconnect it properly and see what happens.

Thanks for answering
I think the drives (I had a hdd also connected to the same Sata power cable) as their are not recognised in the bios. But Has the motherboard and the PSU got any damage because of this mistake and can I reuse the Sata power cable?
