[SOLVED] Upgrade but keep the cables

[FSXManu]

Hi all

I got my PC watercooled by someone and after using it for a few months I began to think that my PSU maybe isn't capable of it since I can't really overclock it.
I got a I7-8700k at max 4.7Ghz and a RTX 2080 TI which reaches 1995 Mht, maybe 2010 Mhz at Max. when gaming.
My PSU is only a Corsair RMX750 and I think that is too weak because I got 5 SSDs and an M.2 drive in my system and 32GB of RAM.

So I thought of switching it for a RMX1000 but the problem is I got custom cables by Cablemod installed and everything is wired very nice and I got the question, can I just replace the PSU without chaning the cables?

If the wquestion is weird sorry I'm new to this

Best regards,
Manuel

No, you cannot use cables wired for one power supply on another. If you change out the power supply the cables must also be replaced.

Your PSU is ONLY a Corsair RM750x? Well, you don't need to worry. A PSU upgrade is not required.

750w is plenty, and the RMX750 is a good unit.
No, the cables are likely not interchangeable.

Look elsewhere for why you can't OC higher.

as of 3/22/2018
What % of I7-8700k chips can oc
at a aggressive vcore near 1.4 or so and delidded
4.9 99%
5.0 88%
5.1 54%
5.2 22%


Note the delidded caveat.

All RMx PSUs use the same cables.

But you don't need a new PSU. RM750x is more than enough.
