Can you please advise which type of cable should I use in place of cable #3?[/b][/color]
#3 is just a molex=>sata adapter (it's obviously detachable). Your riser needs a molex (4-pin) connector, so just use one of the molex cables straight from your PSU.

Riz, i'll save you a world of pain.
Do yourself a favor and throw that #3 SATA cable in the bin.

Now repeat after me "Do not use any included harnesses that converts to SATA"

Your local fire department thanks you

Hi bigjee,

Thanks. Great help indeed  Smiley

Understood that ver007 mustn't be used.

Can you please advise which type of cable should I use in place of cable #3?

Nr 3 connects to the same PSU with the SATA connector.
I recommend not to use this wire that came with the riser but connect directly from your PSU.

Could you write down your model of your PSU?
Then I could make a schematic how to connect all the wires.
 


I have Corsair HX1200i. Would really appreciate if you could make a schematic diagram. Risers/GPUs is a big grey area for me and I am full of doubts, fear about that.

The riser pictured is supposed to be powered with a 4-pin molex connector. It's just they already included a molex=>sata adapter as well. Which is not recommended to use unless you 100% sure that your particular card draws very little power via the pci-e slot. Otherwise just disconnect that adapter from the riser and connect the riser to the PSU directly with a molex cable.
