Question Is this cable compatible with my PSU ?

[CalDaMan]

Hi, my PSU only came with one PCIe cable so I need to buy another one. I have a Corsair RM750x and found this cable on ebay. Is it the right cable? It says so but I want to be certain before risking my PC.

Thanks

ASUS DUAL RTX 4070S 12G EVO OC

1TB Kioxia EXCERIA PLUS NVMe

Corsair RM750x 750 Watt Fully Modular 80+ Gold Refurbished

All are new from scan.co.uk, the PSU was refurbished also from scan.

Edit: This is because I read that you should connect two separate PCIe cables to the 12v adapter that connects to the GPU.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage? New? Source?

I added my specs to my OP.

That cable is for RM 2013 version. You have to search for Corsair Type 4 PCIe cable. Better though look for a Type 4 2x8 pin to 12VHPWR cable.

Hello again, I bought a new type 4 pcie cable but I can't find the right place to plug it in on my PSU.





The cable labelled A goes to my mobo and B is the pcie cable going to my GPU. Where do I plug the 2nd PCIE cable?

Should go into one of those 8-pin ports directly to the left of the ones labeled A and B. Are you certain this is the proper cable?

Sid replied above and said I needed a type 4 cable and the PCIE cable that came with the PSU also says type 4 on it. So hopefully it is the right cable.

Where did you buy it from? Do you have the link?

Did you buy the Type 4 2x8 pin to 12VHPWR cable?

Here is the ebay link to the cable.

I didn't get a 2x8 pin to 12VHPWR cable because one came with my 4070.

That's the worst solution.

That's the worst solution.

What do you mean? I already have one.

What do you mean? I already have one.

I think this is what he means: The use of adapter cables has lead to connector melting issues with others.

When you connect the aforementioned 12VHPWR adapter cable that came with your GPU to the PCIe power cables, you introduce a potential problem.

You are better served with the 12VHPWR connected directly to the PSU and NOT using any adapter cables.

Oh I see what you mean now. I will get one of those instead then. Thanks.

Is this the right cable?

As far as I can see that's a Type 5 cable. You need partnumber CP-8920284

Are you sure? It does say its type 4, in the pictures it says type 4 on it an if you scroll down to the pics it says "guaranteed for use with all type-4 corsair psus".
