Wtf just happened.

I'm really depressed. I get my last video card today to finish my computer but my psu exploded. Here is what happened, tell me wtf happened.

Basically the mobo cable, not the one with like 50 holes, the other was the problem.

The cord it came with didn't make any sense. One side had a side that fit in perfectly into the slot on the mobo and the other was cut in half. So instead of it being 4 it was 2 and 2. But that didn't fit in ANYWHERE on the psu? I read the directions all it says is put the other side on the mobo and that's it. I looked at all the other cords. They were for fans, sata and all 4 cards. I used a cord from my last psu. Burst into smoke. So I'm stuck to a shitty 750 psu.

It was a evga 1300w

tell me my other choice. Not use it and? Use 2 video cards? And waste 1000$?

Be patient and buy more cables.

 

Now you're wasting them anyways.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Wait.... Buy? Why should I buy them when it was suppose to come with it? It clearly didn't fit anywhere on there. I even switched sides so the split side went into they motherboard and it didn't work.

Yeah, no thanks.

I don't have it with me but the other side wouldn't fit because of the connectors at top. The things to lock the cords into place. So the split end wouldn't fit into the psu.

Guess it doesn't matter anyway since it is broken. It started up but I don't think it's good to use it again lol
