[SOLVED] Corsair RM750i - EPS Connector and PCIE Connectors interchangeable?

[InNeedOfExperience]

Hello,

I was wondering, if I can plug in the 4+4 CPU (EPS) Conector into the PCIE slot on my Corsair RM750i.

I am aware, that the mainboard part is keyed differently and therefor not interchangeable. But both the EPS and PCIE Slot on the power supply look identical. From what I have read, this is possible (which allows to use two EPS cables with the RM750i).

Could someone confirm this please?

Thanks

no. don't do it. the EPS 8 pin will cause your video card trouble

The 3 8 pin modular connections that are on the PSU can be used for pci-e(6+2) or eps(4+4) cables.

Ok, two people two opinions

@ScrewySqrl: What kind of trouble do you mean?

I have an AX1200i that uses the same setup for the CPU and Pci-e cables as the rm750i. The pinout on the PSU side of the cables is the same the component side however is reversed.

I believe what Screwy Sqrl is referring to is plugging the component end of the 8-pin eps cable into a 8-pin pci-e connector will lead to the death of the PSU and/or GPU. Plugging a pci-e into the EPS of the motherboard would kill the psu and/or motherboard.

I think the way you phrased the question in the subject confused ScrewySqrl and he didn't read your first post.

Yes, the 8-pin ports on the RMx are pinned the same. You can use EITHER PCIe or EPS12V cables in those ports.
