[SOLVED] Swapping power supply cables from old to new power supply.

[Zas34]

I have a 550w power supply right now. I just got a 650w power supply. The cords that came with my 550w look more premium then the ones that came with my 650w. Is it ok to use the cords that came with my 550w with my 650w.

The cables from the PSU to the components?
NO.

They are NOT interchangable! If you do this anyway you will destroy, at a minimum, a new power supply. More likely is you will destroy the motherboard.
