I solved it, as I solve most things in my life - walking away, thinking, and walking back. I found a bunch of unboxing vids and as I suspected the PSU came with 2 sata cables, 1 with 3 ports and 1 with 2 - I had the 3 one, but I couldn't find the other one - all my old component boxes are in the loft, nicely organised - or they were. I eventually found the other cable, I had put it in my MB box for some reason, probably because I didn't require it in my old case. So anyway, I'm all fixed up - and lessons learned. Lateral thinking is always required. Thanks for the reply.

Evening, I seem to be struggling understanding what I can use and what I can't use when it comes to powering my RGB lighting. Ok, so basically I have an RGB 5000x case, and I have recently purchased the Lighting Node Pro so I can glam it up some more. My PSU is a CS550m, and other than the MB cable, it has a Sata connector that goes to my GPU, and another one to which I have 3 components connected - I don't have anymore ports to use. The 3 components are the built in Lighting Core, my SSD and my front fans. Obviously that is quite limited, so I am looking at getting another cable or replacing the one I have so I can run more components in the future, but also so I can have my lights all singing and dancing right now. What sort of cabling am I looking at? Does it have to be a corsair cable, or can I use another brand? Also I've looked and there doesn't seem to be any information on what the other ports on the back of the PSU are specifically for, so looking for some advice on that too. Appreciate any help
