Question 1

Not sure if it was just me, but all 5 SATA cables didn't fit on my SSD, HDD or optical drive. Did anyone else have this problem?

Accepted Answer

Not at all sir. SATA fits fine for HDD and SSD. Did you check to make sure you are plugging them in right?

Question 2

I have two gpus that use one 6 pin and one 8 pin. Can I use the 4+4 as an 8 and an adapter from molex to 6 pin for the second card?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure if you can, I used this power supply to build a friends computer and it's only running an Amd GPU. Sorry I couldn't help.

Question 3

I am fairly new at this and I have already ordered all of the components but I want clarification before I finish assembling the finished product. Power Supply is included with Specifications.

This PSU should be more than enough to run your system. The only way this PSU will become inadequate is if you have a CrossFire setup with about five (5) more HDDs.

Question 4

Quick question, why is this so much cheaper than other power supplies with similar wattage?

My friend bought this power supply and when he put a new graphics card in it fried the motherboard and the power supply was dead.

We got a new more properly priced one and replaced it with no problems. I'm just wondering what exactly is it about this PSU that is so cheap?

Accepted Answer

My guess is that much of the reason is the certification of the efficiency. 80 plus is fairly low. If you get a bronze or higher (gold, platinum) the power supplies are more expensive because they have a higher efficiency rating which usually also means better components. Other than that it just comes down to features and quality of components used. Personally I try to never go lower than bronze level certification.
