[SOLVED] Busted psu,should i/can i reuse the cables?

[xnzm96]

My seasonic psu decided it didn't want to live anymore and blew up,currently waiting for my new psu to arrive also from seasonic. praying all the other components are fine and still working however I was wondering if its safe to reuse the old psu cables and avoid the cable management?

This is the new psu I've brought

Old one was a seasonic gold plus 650 w

Please don't mix and match cables from PSU's even if they're from the same brand, since the pinouts might not be the same for both.

Out of curiosity, how did you manage to blow up a Seasonic PSU? How old was the unit and what sort of specs are you powering with the PSU?

Tbh I have no idea why it happened psu was less than 18 months old, heard a loud crack from where my pc was and then the power went out,went to turn my pc back on and it tripped the electrics again
was a loud crackle and a little smoke when I tried to turn it back on.

< 18 months, it might be under warranty. You might want to check it out. (Open it up, look inside.)

There is a paperclip test you can try / learn how to do.

Focus FX and GX have the same cable pinout. No prob to use the old cables.
