I bought this PC 2 months ago. Yesterday, I had to transport it by car. Even though I packed it in the original box with foam, when I tried to set it up again, I noticed that this cable, which I had secured with electrical tape, was loose. I'm sure it wasn't loose before.
I know it's some kind of power cable, but I don't know where to plug it in (I'm not a hardware guy).
Note: The PC is turning on and functioning normally. I don't know if it's related or just a coincidence, but my headphones that I usually connect to the back stopped working.
Can someone shed some light on this?
It looks like a molex cable to me which is just power. It will probably be daisy chained together with 2 other of the same connector that then goes to your PSU. The other parts could be connected to something. If possible I would switch it out with Sata power anyway. I don't trust molex.
Huh, now that you say so it does look like a molex connector. I haven't seen one of those in years. If it is then at worst a few case fans stopped working. I can't say I've ever seen anything important be attached to molex?
Lol yeah. It's just weird where it's coming from. That's not like an old aio that has a USB to molex for power or something is it?
