[SOLVED] Using old PSU cables on new PSU ?

[saltlife97]

Hi,

I just ordered a new 1000w RMX Gold PSU from Corsair, to go along with a 3080 I ordered. I am wondering if I can just unplug all the cables from my existing 750w RMX Gold and just plug them into the new 1000w? Or should I just rewire everything with the new cables?

Thanks for the help
