Corsair RM 850 - 24pin will not plug in to MB

[lubblig]

As the title says, I just got a new psu and it's the rm 850 but I cannot seem to get the 24pin in the mb. If I push any harder it feels like the mb will brake... So is there anything I should do? Is there anything wrong with it? Or should I just keep pushing even though it feels wrong? The little plastic thing that should hook into the other plastic thing doesn't even look like it's close to hook together...

 

Thanks!

Force it in, make sure the notch is linus up correctly tho!

It is normal to have to put a LOT of pressure to get it to go into the slot, but first, take a little sanity check. Make sure that you have the clip aligned with the catch on the socket for the 24-pin connector. It will only fit in one way

 

EDIT: Ninja'd by SSOB -- pretty much check what he said.

Corsair PSU's have still cables, you will probably be able to force it in. I had the same problem but I managed to get it in.

There is some force required. Just make sure you're lining them up as SSOB said.

ok, I meant to say thanks for the responses and I posted the picture but I think the picture took over my internet connection.... But anyways thanks for the responses! I'll try pushing as hard as I can

just penetrate it as you would on a hot chick no harm done.

I always have a hard time inserting the 24pin ATX connector on my Gigabyte Z87-HD3 for some reason, both with my Corsair AX760 and Silverstone ST85EF.
