I decided to buy a modular power supply so I could use the red sleeved cables I bought to clean up some of the wiring mess. Upon plugging everything in and flipping the switch to the power supply, the lights on the GPU light up for just a second and shut off. It sounded and smelled like something fried. I’m just wondering if I messed something up or it’s just a bad power supply? My GPU smells like it’s what burned up (which is an ASUS ROG STRIX GTX1080)

What cables did you buy?  Are they Thermaltake cables?  Because cables from one manufacturer to another are not pin compatible.

link the cables, i'm 90% sure you just fried your entire PC by using incompatible cables.

Such a stupid mistake.. they’re Corsair cables for their RMX power supplies. Is the motherboard fried too? What parts can I salvage?

Might be alive, might all be dead too. That really sucks but at least this isn't a mistake you'll ever make again. Live and learn...

Lol. 

 

Sorry, like that sucks, but it's all gonna be dead. Anything you had plugged in. Check the pinouts for each cable and you might be lucky to have a match or two, but prepare for the worst.

 

And do research next time, always. I've been shocked by how little digging people seem to do when making mod or cosmetic decisions.

CPU and drives might be okay. I bet the motherboard and GPU are fried. You can always test the motherboard.

 

@Dabombinable this is what happens when you mix PSU cables :p

I don't understand why people don't know this.  I mean... Corsair cables... Thermaltake PSU.

 

Sure, you can put a Chevy engine in a Volkswagen body, but it's going to take some work and you better know what you're doing.  Maybe because I used to work on cars my thinking is along the same lines here.....

I don't get it either, if you work hard to be able to afford that dream build would it have cost you much more to do a basic research on what you're buying first? :/
