Full modular power supply, question is: Can i plug 6pin power cable for hard disks in place for 8pin for gpu?? Hii to all, im new to lemmy so exuse me if i wrote this in wrong category or something… I have problem with ps, hard disks randomly stop working and i cant acess them, and when i disconect it and connect it again it starts working again. This doesnt happen wit ssds. Ps is radimax cobra 800w full modular. I suspect sector for sata ports doesnt work properly. Because i never had any problem with graphic cards, curently have rx 5700xt.

    Short answer: No.

    Long answer: No. Don’t.

    You have two more SATA ports on top, try those. Otherwise get a PSU tester or a new PSU

    No, the PCIe power connectors are only 12V. The hard drive connectors have 3.3V, 5V, & 12V.

    First off, you’re good. The MCU folk generally love anyone who has a question about electronics. (Angy pixies gunna be angy pixies, so it’s all the same shit to us.)

    It seems the question was answered, so that is awesome!

    If you can, split apart your questions with a few spaces. It’s sooo much easier to ingest questions that way. An example, if I may…

    Once you get the hang of it:

    • it’s easier to read
    • makes you think about the problem in an organized way
    • it forces you to group bits of relevant data together

    If that is not possible, we get it. Some methods of typing, or some life circumstances, do not allow for such formalities.
