Introduction
The power supply provides power to the entire pc and must be installed correctly and securely.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Lay down the PC case as the motherboard(with cpu) is already installed.
- Place the PSU in its bay (bottom-mounted with fan down or top-mounted).
- Secure screws in the rear.
- Route cables—24-pin ATX to motherboard, 8-pin CPU EPS near socket, PCIe to GPU.
- Use cable management grommets, Velcro straps, or zip ties.
Compatibility Tips
- Calculate wattage using online PSU calculators.
- Use modular or semi-modular PSUs for cleaner builds.
- Ensure available connectors: CPU EPS, PCIe 8-pin, SATA/Molex for drives.
Troubleshooting
- PC doesn’t turn on or reboots under load: Verify connectors and PSU wattage sufficiency.
- Cable tension issues: Reroute and leave slack near connectors.
