1. List all your components?
2. What do you mean by MB power cable not fitting in PSU? How many cables do you want to use to connect MB and PSU?

i have an msi z170a gaming m5 motherboard a corsair rm650x psu a gtx 1060 and an intel core i5 6600k but what i mean is i have to force it down into it really hard and when i turn the psu on it doesnt work at all my pc wont turn on or anything so i put the power cable that came with the supply in for the meantime but all the cables i got from cable mod work accept the 24 pin cable and its only the end of the cable that plugs into the psu it goes into the motherboard just fine

How many cables connecting MB and PSU? How do they look at the MB side, how many pins?

vapour :

on the psu side the cable have two parts but they converge into one connector the psu has a 28 pin hole but my cord has 24 pins and i looked at a picture and it looked like each connector piece matched with the connector hole in psu and on the motherboard side it is 24,do you think cable mod maybe messed something up?also the smallest of the two parts that go into the psu goes in fine its a 10 pin the other 14 pin is the one i am having troubles with.

Kasper Jorgensen :

yea but i got cables compatible for rm not rmx thats why it does not work

vapour · Oct 12, 2017

I suggest you get compatible cables before doing anything. You don't want to damage components or ports.

i have the ones that came with it so i use those

Check the motheboard 24pin and 10+14 pin you have, you may need to change orientation, check the shape of each small pin, it has two different pin shapes. Make sure they all match before pushing.

i will be sure to i already ordered the RIGHT ones so who knows maybe some day ill get just a regular rm.sorry for wasting your time tho .

His PSU and original cables doesn't have 10+14 pins, it has 20+8 pins.

Kasper Jorgensen :

He told me he has 10+14 for the mb, so I assume that. He is getting correct PSU cables now

Kasper Jorgensen · Oct 12, 2017

vapour :

He said his new cables are 10+14pins which will not fit into his RMx PSU as it uses 20+8 pin, I know cause i have one myself

I am so lazy that I get a fully modular one.
