Quick tip-in some instances, capacitors will still store a whollop of power even after the machine has been unplugged and the PSU switched off. You can manage that by-after the PSU itself is off-depressing the power on button for a count of fifteen or twenty.

So switching out a Power supply, the only connections you need to worry about is the: CPU connector(To motherboard) PCIe connectors(To graphics cards, etc.) 24-Pin PSU connector(To Motherboard) All hard drives need a SATA connector to be powered from the PSU. That's it? That's easy. The only annoying/iffy bit is cable management. But other than that, easy peezy! Thanks for the video man. Really helped me lower my anxiety over doing it, haha.
