Question Can I Use Other Brands' Sleeved Cable Set With My EVGA 750 G3?

[thedevilofdark]

Hello, I couldn't find any seller in my country. Also EVGA USA does not ship outside the USA, and Europe does not sell any. I found this in my country:

Can I use it with my PSU? Thanks.

The pinouts on the PSU side of the cables may look the same between PSU. However, that end is not standardized. They use proprietary pin configurations which often aren't even the same between different models from the same manufacturer.

Only the end of the cable. The component end is standardized. Floppy, 4 pin Molex, PCIe, EPS, CPU, ATX, &c

Can you use the cable?
You would have to place a multimeter at the component end. To make sure the voltages and grounds on the component end are going to the correct pin numbers. If this is wrong you'll fry the part(s). If you are certain about your technical abilities to use a multimeter and move the individual wires to the correct pins. Then you can use other cables.

Also some manufacturers add an in line capacitor to their cables. You'd have to add, change or remove the capacitor. Depending on what your PSU requires and what the cable includes.

So, even if you do find aftermarket EVGA cables for your exact model. I wouldn't use them. Not until you verify all the voltages for each pin is correct and it has any required capacitor.

No, you have to find cables, if not EVGA ones, that go with the exact PSU. If it doesn't say your exact model is compatible with cables, then you do not plug them into your PC, period. Pinouts for modular cables are not universal on the side that connects to the PSU.

I found this one in my country: 100-G2-13LL-B9 .

In EVGA's FAQ site (https://www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?f=59698): "Compatible with 1300 watt and under G2/G3/G5/G+/P2/PQ/T2Models"
In EVGA EU Page (CTRL-F for 750W's): Only listed ones are " GA, G5, B5, PQ "
Also in EVGA EU Page (CTRL-F for G3): Only listed one is 1000W.

But when I checked pinouts from a site (don't know if it is okay to share it, site is solosleeving) there is only one pinout listed for G1+, G2, G3, G5, GM, B3, P2, T2 which is "EVGA Type 1".

I have tried to contact EVGA's support but they didn't respond me for 3 days.

I am really confused now. I don't want to buy extension sets because it makes cables too long.
