Incidentally is there any significance in the fact that the 40/80 IDE cable which came with m/b is yellow rather than the usual grey? Why would colour be a problem ! And don't play with your hardware if you don't know what are you doing, ask a friend to help you ! Colour is often used to indicate something specific with regards to the type of port, especially when there are RAID and non-RAID enabled PATA/SATA ports on the same motherboard. *shrugs* That's only for you to see which port is which and there's no diference in cable collour because it's yust a collour, if the cables are the same ofcourse ! Sure, but the colour is sometimes significant. If there are 2 red ports and 2 black ports, typically it indicates different capabilities. It's just a colour, but things are often coloured for a reason. But not with the cables !!! The question was regarding colour of cables not colour of things on mobo ! Cables too can sometimes indicate something interesting. Mouse and keyboard PS/2 cables, for instance, are colour coded for a reason. I can't think of any industry standard examples where the wrong colour cable might make a difference, other then possibly ethernet (which isn't really a standard as far as I know -- but I always colour code my crossover cables if I end up wiring any for some reason) -- Are you tired of having your hands cut off by snowblowers? |
