Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently purchased the Bitfenix Alchemy 2.0 EVG Modular cable kit (red) for my EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750w PSU.

I noticed when comparing the 24pin ATX cable that the pins don't match up. The Bitfenix has a blank pin on pin 2. The OE has a blank on pin 20. Hopefully the following pic helps explain what I mean:

Left is OE, right is the aftermarket Bitfenix.

I don't want to cause damage to any of my components. Can anyone confirm that this cable will be safe to use or is it faulty? Thanks!

Modern pc's have very little use for 3.3v, don't see it as an issue unless pin 20 is blocked in the mobo.
I would, however, check all the pin colors against the original, if the wiring doesn't match that end, I'd be calling the place you got the cable kit from.
