You're unsure about the cord's name, but it connects the power supply to the CPU power header. You've shared photos that should aid in identifying it. Thanks!

You require an extension mainly because it often complicates the situation. The colored cables suggest the power supply is outdated or faulty. Could you provide the PSU’s brand and model, along with your motherboard and CPU details?

I chose the budget basement power supply option. Earlier, I experienced a fire in my computer case while using it—definitely not a good time!

Consider a Corsair RM750 750 Watt PSU or similar from Seasonic like the PRIME GX-750. These units perform exceptionally well. Investing in a quality power supply is essential—neglecting it can lead to electrical hazards, hardware damage, and system failures.

THIS!!!!! The PSU is nothing to cheap out on or instead of being cheaper, it's gonna get pricey.... In a few cases WAY pricey as in the system, your stuff, your home, maybe even you..... You do know what a house fire is right? Bad PSU's have caused just that to happen before with those consequenses too, no bullshit. Don't cheap out on the PSU, spend the few extra $$'s for a known quality unit.

This power supply has limited capacity and only one PCI-e port. It’s not ideal for extended use. Consider upgrading to a better PSU such as Corsair CX, Cooler Master MWE V2 or XPG Pylon. Which GPU is installed?

Thanks for the feedback! I acquired my PC a few years ago from Origin PC, which wasn’t a great decision since I had little knowledge about computers. When I received a new case, I considered replacing the PSU, but I chose not to because I already had one. Now I think it’s time to get one.
