Plugged wrong cable in CPU Power

[Guidevil23]

So I just received all the parts for my new computer and decided to make a quick testbench on my motherboard box before installing everything. All I had plugged was my motherboard (Asus Z87-A ATX), my CPU, my CPU fan, my RAM and my graphic card (GTX 770). I connected everything to my power supply (EVGA NEX750B) but as I am a beginner I made a mistake and I plugged the VGA1 8 pin-connector in the CPU power 8 pin connector. When I opened it, everything worked for 2 seconds. Then, a crack noise and everything stopped. Also smoke came out of the power supply.

 

I just want to know if my other parts are ok. Or do I need to change all my parts that were connected?

You probably need to change your psu...

[LarsReviews]

That shouldn't happen. Best if you try a different psu. Even a 300 Watt will do for a quick test boot without the 770.

 

Edit: How was that even possible, it looks like the connections have different forms ( round/square).

You sir have just made the #1 mistake in computer building. RMA your PSU.

 

It cracked because the pinout is different for the VGA and the CPU power plug, for example negative is where positive should be so in other words you screwed yourself over.

[Guidevil23]

I don't have another power supply so I'll have to wait for the new one! But you think all my other parts are ok?

[Guidevil23]

And yes I RMA my power supply already!

[squirrl]

How did you even manage that? The EPS and PCI power 8pin connectors have different shapes!

It's really a gamble if anything else is broken or not. It really depends where the power went before the PSU cut out. Best case - just the PSU is fried. Worst case - EVERYTHING is dead.

In my experience it's a crap shoot and you won't know for sure until you get the new PSU in.... Just a bad situation...

not sure..until u can test it with other psu...get a psu from ur friend for sometime and test with it for peace of mind...

Yes the CPU 8-pin power connector is made of two 4 pins connectors and the VGA1 is a 6+2 connector

[AustinKZombie]

DID you force it in?

[Guidevil23]

You should know that its a semi-modular power supply

[Guidevil23]

DID you force it in?

No I didn't

[Wats]

whatd you do.. take a knife to the motherboard to make a pci-e 8pin fit into eps?

[AustinKZombie]

No I didn't

Ok you did something fucked up thats like putting a 3 pin plug in upside down.

[Guidevil23]

It's a semi-modular power supply. So the VGA1 and CPU 8-pin connector are not removable. Also, the CPU is 2 4-pin connector and the VGA1 is a 6+2 pin connector. In entered well in the 8-pin power of the CPU

[AustinKZombie]

Take a pick of the PSU

[AustinKZombie]

And the cable connectors 

[AustinKZombie]

Also of the 8 pin on the mobo.

No pics I guess

Sorry for the delay :\ but here they are!

Even I won't make that mistake when I build my first PC here very soon. You should have checked everything before you turned it on for the first time. All the cables are clearly labeled. Silly noob.

That PSU is either a piece of sh*t or older than me... Return it and buy a quality one and pray to God everything still works.

 

EDIT: It's an EVGA PSU right? They really fucked up if you managed to plug the VGA power into your mobo, right a letter of complaint!
