How to connect power supply cables to motherboard ?

GhettoBurger · Nov 4, 2015

I recenter bought a corsair 650vs and the power supply comes with a of cables and I'm completely lost my motherboard is the Asus H97-Pro Gamer.
As for my case it's the elite 431 mid tower.

For connecting your motherboard, there should be a 24-pin on the right side of the board near the RAM slots and there should be an 8-pin on the top left of the board.

I figured out that much but there are a LOT more cables check the link.

Look at the bottom of your box, it should have pictures of the cables like this:

Here is a picture of your motherboard for reference:

- The LONG 24 pin connector (far left on PSU box) goes into the slot in the middle-right of the motherboard (far right).

- The solid 8-pin EPS connector (NOT the 6+2 PCIe!!) goes into the very top-left 8-pin slot of your motherboard to power your CPU. This is the connector just to the left of the long 24-pin on the box.

- The PCIe 6+2 connector is what you plug into your graphics card. Depending on the card you can plug two of these into the GPU.

- The long, flat, thin connectors are your SATA power (cable just to the right of the PCIe 6+2 on the box). These are used to power your DVD drives and Hard Drives.

-The thicker 4-pin MOLEX connectors are for legacy power. Some older fans and hard drives can still be powered by this, but you probably won't need it.

-The floppy pin (far right on the box) can be ignored...why people still add these to PSU's is beyond me. Used to power floppy drives.

What is your question?

You have a modular power supply.
You need connect only the power leads that your motherboard or other components need.
All are keyed to fit only one way.

In short, if you see a power port, connect it.
