rik1254 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I've recently braided my pcie cables and shortened them to fit better within my new 250d case. When I was refitting, I must not have pushed them in properly and the wires came free from the plugs and I have no idea what order they go back in. Anyone able to help? I've got them sat in front of me and my computers been kia for a week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 25, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sorry for the delay. I have this in a document somewhere, but right now I'm traveling and it's not on my laptop. I'll try to find it for you some time this weekend.

rik1254 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 That's awesome. I've just had a reply from a corsair rep on another forum, but the response wasn't 100% clear. So I took this picture to help clarify my issue. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i68/silly-mel/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/20140525_194636_zps3qgkbgmv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 25, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 25, 2014 Well, the six pin side is standard. So that's easy. The side with the clip is all grounds and the side without the clip is all +12V. It's the side that plugs into the PSU that can be tricky and that's what I need to find you.

rik1254 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 This is the information I already have http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i68/silly-mel/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/6qCC7e9_zpsfb1m60p0.png So from what you've said the gpu 6+2 pin is GGG LLL and that image shows that the psu 8 pin (although only 6 pins present) GGGG LLLL So from that, as long as I connect the ground to ground and live to live, all should be good?

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 26, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 26, 2014 No. The PSU side should be 8-pins. What that diagram shows is the PSU side. 8-pins, not six. The black 6-pin connectors on the PSU side are for peripherals. i.e. Molex, SATA, etc. They have +3.3V and +5V as well as +12V and ground. The blue is for the PCIe.

rik1254 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yes 8pin, but I only have 6 pins present (so 6 cables, not 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 26, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just leave the last two pins on the PSU side empty. That's all. The problem is, there used to be a 6+2-pin on the GPU side. Looks like that's gone, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik1254 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I don't fully understand what you mean by they look like here gone? Mine still is a 6+2, but the 2 is hardwired to the cables, you can just make it out in my original picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 27, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 27, 2014 Then I'm as lost as you are. There's 8-pins on the PSU side. Clip side is ground. Opposite side is +12V. On the PCIe connector that goes into the graphics card, you have two pieces: a 6-pin and a 2-pin. The clip side of the 6-pin is ground. The opposite side is +12V. The two pin connector is just ground (ground x2). Given your uni-sleeve modification, I would four of the ground pins on the PSU side and run that to ALL of the grounds on the 6-pin PCIe and one of the two pins of the two pin connector. Then, make a small jumper wire for the two pin connector that just goes from the one pin to the other. Then, for +12V, just use three of the four +12V pins on the PSU side. Run that to the three +12V pins on the graphics card side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik1254 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ah so the 2 pin are both ground, so the 2 wires that they are hardwired to are also ground. Oh well....fingers crossed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 27, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yep. Normally, they just just double up on grounds on one of the wires then daisy chain to the two of the +2 connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik1254 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 And it works beautifully :) Cheers dude :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
