My Jupiter is scheduled for delivery today. Of course I bought a Corsair HX850 - is there any *safe* way to use it, or should I not even plug the thing in?
What if I power on the HX850 and plug in the PCI-E connectors one at a time?
JESUS
I have absolutely no idea how people with this amount of experience find themselves buying these devices. Really?
Literally in awe when I'm reading some of the questions in here.
brb, gonna go study electrical engineering for a few years and then ask a question that by then I'll already know the answer to. Thanks for clarifying, at least I asked first, instead of frying my stuff.

Good on you! This place is not newbie friendly. I know. Not long since I was in the same boat. (I wouldn't have made the mistake you did, but I made plenty of others!)
Seriously, though. Nearly all ac to dc power supplies are NOT hot pluggable. Not just computer equipment, that's across the board. You can get away with it on a lot of things, but the only one I can think of that's designed to be hot pluggable is a USB phone charger. That's not a slam on ya, btw. Just sayin'.
