I bought this PC 2 months ago. Yesterday, I had to transport it by car. Even though I packed it in the original box with foam, when I tried to set it up again, I noticed that this cable, which I had secured with electrical tape, was loose. I’m sure it wasn’t loose before.

I know it’s some kind of power cable, but I don’t know where to plug it in (I’m not a hardware guy).

Note: The PC is turning on and functioning normally. I don’t know if it’s related or just a coincidence, but my headphones that I usually connect to the back stopped working.

Can someone shed some light on this?

    It looks like a molex cable to me which is just power. It will probably be daisy chained together with 2 other of the same connector that then goes to your PSU. The other parts could be connected to something. If possible I would switch it out with Sata power anyway. I don’t trust molex.
