I just completed my first build shown below.

Since my motherboard only came with 2 Sata cables, i needed another for my optical drive.
So i bought a 5 pack shown here

The sata cables dont work with my motherboard, I can here the drive power up, but nothing else.

Any Tips or ideas?
Thank you!

Any Tips or ideas? - don't buy the cheapest you can get. Get a mid priced cable.

Should work. Do the cables that can w/ the mobo work in the same SATA port and with the device that 'isn't' working

I agree , should work might be a bad drive

I've seen cheap sata cables with malformed connectors.

Ive troubleshot the cables with other drives and proven that the drives work. But i figured in a batch of 5 cables, 1 of them would work.

Go and buy 1 good $5 sata cable and see how you go.

I've used $2.00 cables from the egg and never had a bad one.

The Amazon vendor seems to have a collection of junky stuff - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A3QZ97VWYLVI4R&sshmPath=
