Question Can I reuse the cables from old psu to new?

[Hiper1995]

Hello, I just ordered a psu, 1st player ngdp 1000w gold, around 1 week ago, it has some rattling issues with the fan and I just ordered another identical one to test, maybe I just got a bad unit

Can I reuse the cables from my initial PSU to the new one? It takes 5 minutes, vs redoing all the cables from the PC

Both PSU are the same brand, same model, same wattage, atx and so on, basically identical, and since I ordered both in around 1 week apart, I doubt the seller has multiple revisions (if this psu even has more revisions to begin with) in stock

Waiting for answers before proceeding
Thanks

In your instance you could, since it's the identical unit. I'd still work with the cables that come with the unit instead of recycling, in fear that there might be a silent revision on the PSU as 1st players isn't an OEM of the PSU meaning they source their units from XYZ maker and ask them to slap a badge/sticker on it with 1st player written on it. An FYI, if you look around most of the threads around here, you'll see that being lazy only causes you to do more than twice the work if you did it right at first go.

You seem convinced. Go ahead but if I were in your shoes, I'd be cautious. If you knew what the pinout of the PSU as well as the PSU's were then I wouldn't doubt your path.

Just an FYI, you might want to just contact your seller as well as 1st player and let them know of the rattling you're hearing, that shouldn't be the case of a newly bought PSU, meaning you qualify for an RMA. So you should undo the cabling work then ship out the rattling PSU with it's bundled cables.

1st Player is the house brand of Helly and yes, you can use the cables if it's the exact same PSU bougt so close after each other. It's a very decent PSU. Here's a review https://hwbusters.com/psus/1st-player-ngdp-1000w-psu-review/

I noticed that each PSU comes with a mes check, there I can see the manufacture date. My current one is from December 2023,i guess if the new one is somewhat similar to that, I'll use the cables from the old one, if its a newer batch, like dunno may 2024 and beyond, I guess I'll go through the hazzle to use the new cables, too many chances for a silent revision in that case, in my opinion

The rattle is kinda wierd, it's not very loud, but my sistem is very silent, and when the psu fan starts spinning it makes a very distinct noise, like an old fan that needs to be oiled up, not sure if it's touching anything inside the psu or it's just a defect causing vibrations, anyway I'll keep this thread posted with the new one
