Question for wiring a pcie 8(6+2) pin connector. I have an evga power supply, and was messing around sleeving some wire for a pcie 6+2 pin connector. while doing so I had gotten the two wires in the 1X1 connector confused. Will this be a problem? and if so how can I identify which wire goes where in the connector? (they are all black)

The next thing you should do is keep a multimeter and PSU cable tester handy should you be in doubt of your wiring skills. Next, you should perform a wiring diagram on a piece of paper or a graphed sheet should you get...
