High Current Pro Gold modular cables compatibility

[xeon_fan]

Hi,
I bought used HCP Gold PSU but without PCI-E cables [it's semi modular so I have one 40A only]:

it's 10 PIN connector, seller lost it :/

As one cable costs 10e on Antec site it's cheaper to buy used Antec PSU of other series as they seems to have the same connectors e.g.
- HCG 620m

I could buy HCG-520m with 10 pin connector for like 15e and 620m for 20e. So the question is - The connectors are exactly the same but would they work ?

Thanks for the help

You'll have to find a wiring diagram of the connectors. Just because they look the same does NOT mean they are compatible AT ALL. Best to get official cables instead of risking to blow up your psu. Also why did you not get a new psu? Getting a used psu in general is a bad idea no matter if it's a good psu or not.

Hey, I took it as it was very inexpensive, almost not used (friend of mine used it for like 5 months), and it's for my third computer.
Based on the reviews quality of this model is very high.
Yeah I know , cheap move but it's very budget computer for like 250$ (cpu, mobo, psu,case + spare ddr4 3200).

Thanks for the input.
