A builder wants a power supply that lets unused cables stay in the box, so only the cables the build needs are plugged in. Which supply feature is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The builder wants to pack only the hoses this machine uses, not a knot of leads that have nowhere to go. You pick a modular cable set. A second supply, a bigger supply with fixed leads, and the motherboard plug's split do not let you leave unused drive cables in the box.
Full Explanation
A modular power supply lets you attach only the cables the build needs and leave the rest out, which is what the builder asked for. Redundant supplies let the system survive the loss of one supply. They do not describe detachable unused cables. A higher wattage rating changes how much power the supply can deliver. Permanent cables still fill the case even if the rating is higher. The 20+4 pin connector adapts the motherboard lead to 20 or 24 pins. It does not make every peripheral cable detachable. Exam caveat: the modular ports on the supply are not interchangeable with another brand's cables. Use the cables that came with this supply. Operational check: connect only the motherboard, drive, and graphics leads the build uses, and confirm the unused leads stayed in the box. Use only the cables that shipped with this supply, and leave the unused leads in the box. Record the result on the ticket before you close the call. Boot the build and confirm every device that needs a lead has one.
