Hi all,
I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I feel like it isn't mentioned enough but don't mix PSU cables. As a casual PC builder, I will admit I don't usually read manuals when I build PCs however after shorting multiple hdds and ssds and not knowing what went wrong. Today I discovered, after shorting my SSD, that EVGA PSU sometimes (depending on the PSU because EVGA doesn't make their own) wires their SATA power differently and it is routed in a way that if you used a cable from another PSU it would short everything powered by that cable. This shorted my LEDs + SSD, thanks EVGA. So here I am with tons of lost data which I would have loved to have kept but it is far too costly to recover and dead LEDs hoping you won't make the same mistake as me.
Thanks
