This is honestly such a great video you just made me feel so much more assured. When I first started building my PC and I put the CPU and the RAM and all that stuff into the motherboard everything went so smooth and easy, but when it came to connecting the cables I started sweating buckets. My confidence is now restored, thank you so much!

@Chaim Jedidiah why would i want to do that? that seems like an breach of privacy and just a generally creepy thing to do

[@Sinan493]

This is LITERALLY the only video I could find of someone showing how to split the 4+4 CPU cable without damaging it! Thanks.

[@Mirsab]

This just made building a PC, so much easier. My confidence level just got boosted(in PC Building). It makes more sense now, the cable bit was the most confusing portion of building a PC.

[@billyarmes-timbers6130]

Love portions

[@user-bp2yw9ht3s]

I watched so many build guide tutorials but I always get confused when it comes to plugging cables. this cleared everything up! thanks a lot

[@Hitori-]

This is the real Step-By-Step not like other videos says step by step and they skip some steps. Thanks for this helpful video !!!!.

[@puwhenua62]

installed a rig 2 years ago, with your video. here for another build and SERIOUSLY you are the best

[@diogenesbear]

Thank you. This video actually explained what I needed to know compared to lots of other "experts" that just yammer along for an hour without actually explaining anything.

[@SleekSpacesLiving]

omg thank you for this. I got a new PSU and I was freaking out trying to figure out how and where to install everything. THANK YOU!!! Now, I feel confident when my PSU comes in.

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Happy to hear that Sky! Power supplies can seem a little overwhelming at first, but we believe in you! Happy building!

[@masternobody1896]

@@ThermaltakeAustralia thx

[@purplekittigaming]

glad im not the only one who felt this way. it does look much simpler than i had originally thought.

[@ecos889]

First time builder here thanks for the info it saved me a tonne of time telling me each cable does as my power supply had everything conected to it so was figuring out what each cable was for lol and whether or not they all had to be connected in.

[@CrimsonArcturus]

This video was an absolute lifesaver. THANK YOU for showing both ends of each cable. You've done what PSU manufacturers fail to lol.

[@kila11]

This was precisely the video I needed! Precise, to-the-point, helpful and informative! That's all I needed to know!! I had a general idea of what needed to go where and was reassured that sometimes they do just need a little force ☺

[@timoluetk]

Best Guide there is for this. Was sooo anxious about turning on the power for the first time before I found this!

[@karlosdelacruz3803]

3 years later, this video's still saving lives. You guys rock, Thanks!!!

[@evolve5409]

Just thank you I've been building a pc and that was the only thing I was confused with

[@Fa1se_Hope]

OMG Thank you I have been looking for hours just to find something like this! Keep it up despite the amount of clout you get!

[@j4mesw0ng69]

Thank you, for letting me download alt store on my iPhone!

[@abuveground4934]

Great video! This is by far the most complex of PC builds and this helped so much for my first build! Keep it up 🔥

[@jjraga]

probably one of the most straightforward tutorials ive ever seen nice work 👍

[@jjraga]

@@user-mk4or5yu9r Depending on the case you would insert the PSU either in the bottom in the back (most commonly). The PSU or case should also come with screws that will let you secure the PSU in place.

[@nonya13]

Building my son a computer tonight (right before the start of 2022) and this video helped clarify several things. Thank you.

[@ardentlions6636]

Best damn installation of a pc power unit on KZbin.

[@anarekey2000]

Sure wish this had been around when I did my first build. Nice job! I'm on build #2 now and your video cleared up a lot of questions.

[@EagleWithAhGun]

i cant really describe how thankful i am for this video.

[@Babbleplay]

There are so many cords! Why this many? Why the heck can't it be like , say, a power strip, with all the ports in a row? I admit, I'm easily intimidated by new tech related tasks, but this feels like it's more elaborate than it needs to be. Thank you for making the video; this will help.

[@ashii_ii]

There are modular PSUs out there with removable connectors, so i guess that solves it lol

[@Anarchii]

i remember watching this for my first pc build at 13 in august 2020, can confirm if 13 year old me was able to follow this video then most likely anyone can. i still come back to this video whenever i get a new pc/parts.

[@SoilentGr33n]

Yes please. Explain like I'm 5. This is amazing.

[@jepar278]

finally the type of vid ive been looking for since i kept confused with fully modular psu

[@AntisepticHandwash]

I love the host's sophisticated vibe!

[@mxrt0]

I successfully installed my GF1 ARGB 850W thanks to this!

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Yeeeiw that's what we like to hear!

[@MyklCarlton]

Nice work again! Perhaps mention that all of the cables are keyed so that there's only one right way to insert them on the motherboard? You can easily determine which way a cable needs to go by either comparing the socket with the plug, or just looking for where the clip locks onto the socket. SATA cables have an L-shape for both power and data connections.

[@MyklCarlton]

Also - we'll make Sarah a competent tech by the end of the year!

[@fadia7446]

"Cpu cable can split" You saved my day

[@hypercake9360]

This video us extremely reassuring and helpful for those of us just starting our first build. Thank you!

[@Wealthymotivator.]

Great video! Finally someone that I can understand. This video deserves a like

[@trevarriusross4740]

just finishing my build Christmas morning thanks for this vid my son is gonna be so happy

[@hurricaneofyoutube1957]

You seem like a great dad

[@bdrigg]

This is the simplest, to the point, easiest to follow video I've found. Bravo!

[@ExySmexy]

Very helpful there's no case to distract from the actual material

[@miraytezoukoum9750]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE MY FRIEND AND I WERE STUCK WITH THE POWER SUPPLY FOR 3 HOURS THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@nozyspy4967]

"Most GPUs use only one PCIe cable" *Laughs in triple 8 pin cables*

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Hahaha, little did we know the big ole 3000 series would destroy that statement 😂

[@Tyler-uv3si]

Just wanna say thanks for the clarification between pci and cpu. I messed up between the 2

[@jen5sentrypl1]

mine aren’t labeled so i had to interchange them

[@ralphmendoza2622]

Holy shit THANK YOU. Multiple videos and this one I found extremely useful

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Awesome sauce! Thanks for watching.

[@Acorniscute]

Thank you so much for this! This is a old video and you probably wont see this but I was so worried when it came to plugging in everything and doing cable management.

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Thanks a bunch for the comment, we really appreciate reading ones like these!

[@hunterwittman3653]

this is legitimately the best tutorial for me because this is the exact power supply im getting

[@fudge-zr6hw]

What supply is is ? :)

[@gellichan09]

I probably should've watched this first before I started building my PC hahhaa! Now will go back to building xD

[@Buster-hw8ps]

Holy moly this video is absolute crystal clear!!! Thank you so much!!

[@xdp5660]

Ya I'm gonna buy components tomorrow

[@420hansol]

Thank you, now I shall try it on my PC :)

[@deccers6459]

Just bought a brand new psu and soiled myself when it wouldnt turn on. Thank you for the PCI-E/CPU tip that was the problem!

[@NFIGamingZone]

Thank you so much for the help! I just bought a new PSU recently and I was so confused by the CPU and PCI-E cables, even if they had written on them (very clever idea from Segotep) I didn't knew what to insert on the motherboard between these two, in that moment I searched for it on KZbin and this video comes in the first place! 👍🏼

it’s so funny how every time i assume a process related to building a computer is so complicated until i look up a video

[@Spacebargamer]

You are a life saver. I forgot to plug in the 10 pin power lead back into the PSU. I thought I had a dud mobo for a min.

[@20kerberos]

really great video, did like that part where you explained how to mount your PSU in case and which way fan should point to xD

I had finished installing my own, different brand powerful supply, and for some reason my pc still wasn't turning on. Your video helped me to go over what I had done and replace some cables that were plugged in to the wrong place. My pc is now running! Thank you for this video and information!

[@tjc_2661]

Hopefully it wasn’t rhe PCIe that was plugged in the wrong place

[@PlayingCrazy]

Great tutorial.

[@kumamakanui1514]

I noticed today a burn smell coming from my pc, turned it off and then tried to reboot. No display but the fans and lights still work. I noticed the psu red voltage switch in the back looked a lil burnt. What should i do?

[@varriodelaware14ranatraino59]

Replace your power supply immediately and dont turn the pc back on until you do
