How This Workbench Works
Each build ticket gives you one real part, either a connector pulled from the PSU cable bag, or a component power input still waiting to be plugged in, plus a bin of four candidates. For every candidate, read its actual pin count, voltage rails, and wattage rating, then decide: is it Compatible (connect it) or Incompatible (reject it)? A wrong pin count, a mismatched voltage rail, and two connectors that share a pin count but are keyed and wired differently are all real, distinct reasons a hookup can fail. Sort all four, click "Test Connection," and fix any wrong calls before moving on.
Exam Warning: The 8-pin EPS12V (CPU) connector and the 8-pin PCIe (6+2, GPU) connector both use 8 pins and can look similar at a glance, but they are keyed and wired differently. Never substitute one for the other, even if it seems to fit.
