yes, usually a SATA power connector is used for hard drives and such. But this CPU cooler just happens to also use it. That end with the 5 pins goes into the power supply, and as you already guessed, the L-shaped skinny end goes to the connector on the cooler.

Hi I'm building my pc atm and I came to the part to install my cpu cooler( I got the nzxt kraken x63). I have to plug the cables in now and I have one cable left it says sata on it but I can't find a place to put in(I got the msi b550-a pro) anyone know where to plug it in?

There should be a sata port on your power supply that looks like this and its for power of whatever device you are going to use it for

if your power supply is modular then get the cable with that port which is in your power supply box

It's the bottom cable in that picture you just sent and that will give power to the screen on your AIO

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.
