Normal
I got a SATA to PCI-e adapter yesterday and hooked it up to the GTX 950. It works but I have not done any intensive graphics benchmark tests yet, so it's still sipping a small amount of power.But I also noticed something weird about the SATA and Molex power cable that was included with the HD-PLEX 160w PSU. With two of the three SATA connectors, the power pins look pushed out of place. I have only used the connector at the end which works no problem, but I cannot connect any SATA plugs on the other ones because these pins are pushed way out of the housing, instead of lying flat. So I can only connect one powered device with them. I have not noticed this before because I only had one hard drive connected.I don't know if this cable was just a fluke because I haven't seen anyone else mention faulty cables when using the provided ones with their HD-PLEX PSU's. I'd be making my own custom cables for the final build, but for testing purposes, this kind of issue still holds me back.
