Professional IT installed a Corsair SATA power cable into my Seaonic power supply. I'm lucky my PC didn't die.

Long story short: I got a PC for A.I. research during Covid (i5 11400, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090) built by the very large IT department of my work. The pc only had a single 256GB 980 Pro to boot, as everything would be done through our servers.

The pc got decommissioned and I could basically just take it home (as a work from home pc), and I ended up installing an extra SATA SSD. Two clicks, and the pc turned off. Ended up reinstalling almost everything, but no cigar. At some point I removed the SSD and it booted again.

I don't have warranty on the the PSU (Focus GX-850) (as it officially belongs to my employer), but I ended up contacted SeaSonic myself who confirmed that Type-4 cables are for Corsair power supplies... Luckily they can send me replacement SATA power cables, but man I am happy they make power supplies with proper protections in place
