HoovaDevil Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi. I bought a TX750M from Ebay a while back and it has been fine running an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX, AMD FX-8350, Evga GTX-580 3GB, DVD-RW and a single SSD using the fixed cables. However I've just installed 2x WD Reds and find that I cannot power-up when a device is connected via a modular cable. The MB LEDs/CPU fan are active for a second or so but that's it. Even if I disconnect all the devices from the fixed cable the result is the same with only a single DVD-RW attached to the modular cable, so it's not down to overloading. I can also add more devices to the fixed cable of 4-pin molex without a problem. Any ideas? *** Additional Info *** As an answer might prove difficult I'll just get a couple of adaptors and connect the SATA devices via the 4-pin molex connectors.

Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted July 16, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sounds like someone sold you the PSU with the wrong cables. If the pin-out is incorrect, whatever you plug into the cable is going to short out the PSU, which will prevent it from powering on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoovaDevil Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hi jonnyguru. Thanks for responding. I had thought as much but cannot confirm it as only the blue power cables are marked as HX/TX. It may be that the seller had more than one type of PSU or mixed-up the old with the new. I'll attempt to contact them. Failing any resolution with them I assume it's possible to rewire them providing the contacts can be unlatched. The question then is what is the correct positions for them. I have a multimeter to verify what they are now so it shouldn't be difficult to work out. Thanks for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
