Confused with PCI-E in power supply

ColdDigital

Hey

Im building my pc today and am confused with the power supply.

First thing:

I have an nzxt h440 which has a built in fan controller, where do I plug it in to the power supply? Under peripheral, sata, pci-e or IDE?

Second:

I have a r9 390 from msi, which end do I plug into the psu, one says "PSU" and the other Pci-e? I plug it into the pci-e part of the supply correct?

Thanks

First part: You plug it in via Molex

Second you plug the PSU end into the PSU itself.

PCIE PLEASE. The PSU end goes into the PSU, PCI to PCI. same for the CPU/EPS connector.

You should have a plug that looks like that.

OK.

 

I believe you plug up both the M/B sockets on the PSU with the cable ending with the 24-pin ATX connector.

You also need to power the CPU with any one of the ports on the PSU under 'PCI-E/CPU'.

 

I'm sure you can figure the rest out.
