xfx 1250w black edition

[xxmorpheus]

i need serious help. xfx support is awful. there is not information on the owners manual. The back of this psu is all labeled. on the 24 pin connecter, there is another plug with 10 pins. i dont know where to plug this connector into. i flip the switch, there is power, but my computer will not start. on the back of this psu there are 2 mb connections

Take a picture. I can't understand what you're describing, I've never seen anything like it.

notice it has 2 cpu inputs. also the 24 pin connector has a 10 pin connector directly attached to it


there are also 2 mb imputs

if you look at this pic, look at the 24 pin connector, it has a 10 pin connected to same cable

The cables should be labelled on the connectors or on a sticker. Just plug them in to the corresponding plug on the PSU. From my understanding, the end of the cable that plugs into the mobo is 24 pins, but the end that plugs into the PSU is 10 pins.

look at the pic...

the 24 pin connector has that 10 pin connector in the same bundle.

have you plug the 8 pin connector also require by the power supply?

Is the main motherboard plug where that sticker is on the back? If so, plug the extra 10 pin connection directly under it.

i took it outside and slammed it on the ground and shattered it into pieces. now its completely modular. back to the silent pro gold until i get a corsair ax 1200

Edit: i will never in my life buy a xfx product ever again

That bad, huh?

Yep. Getting another one for free. I don't understand the 24 pin connector to the psu on this one. It has a 20+10 cable

prob the 10 breaks into 2, 4 and 6, so you can can add to the 20 pin one in case your mobo is 24

Nope its one 20 pin and a 10 pin on one cable that is not detachable


figured it out with xfx tech support. 20 pin and 10 pin go into psu, and 8 pin connector as well. i am an idiot
