Title: Noob Question: Does the SATA cable coming out of the riser has to go into PSU? Post by: kryptoknightk on August 23, 2017, 05:17:15 AM Noob question guys, this is my first rig. I have already connected the PCI-e cables from my gpu to the PSU, is there a need to hook up the SATA cable from the riser into the PSU too? Please don't mock, educate me.
Thank you. Title: Re: Noob Question: Does the SATA cable coming out of the riser has to go into PSU? Post by: suprkomang on August 23, 2017, 05:46:42 AM Noob question guys, this is my first rig.

Yes, you need to hook up that SATA cable to the PSU as well to power up the riser. Hope it helps Title: Re: Noob Question: Does the SATA cable coming out of the riser has to go into PSU?

Yes, you need to connect it.Thank you. The PCIe interface is limited to 75 W and it is not enough for a lot of GPUs. If you have some 6 and/or 8 pins connectores on your GPU, don't forget to connect them to your PSU too :-). Title: Re: Noob Question: Does the SATA cable coming out of the riser has to go into PSU?
