Additional PCI-e and/or splitters for AX1200

I was a tad bemused to find that the AX1200 only comes with sufficient PCI-e cables for a triple-GPU setup, and that the 8-pin motherboard plug takes up one of the 8 PSU sockets, leaving 7 - one spare on a triple GPU, one short for quad...

 

Unfortunately, the 7950s I'm using won't spin up on a single connector - they seem to require motherboard power AND 8-pin PCI-e AND 6-pin PCI-e.

 

So ideally I'm looking for modular 1200 cables that terminate in two 6+2 PCI-e (or an 8 and a 6) - the two plugs can be adjacent (ie on the same GPU).

 

A second option is to source individual modular Corsair AX1200 PCI-e 6+2 cables, then run up a MOLEX connection, which I'm not too enamoured with. All I can find are kits, and that seems expensive overkill.

 

I'm certainly nowhere near pushing the power envelope with quad GPUs - this is a mining rig.

 

The final icing on the cake is that I'm in Australia.

 

Any thoughts on supply?

 

Thanks!

ask corsair for 2 of their pig tailed 6+2s , besides being very sexy, they will solve your problems

Thanks! They do sound sexy - where can they be obtained?

 

I'm reluctant to try making one up (the last time I tried I fried a drive).

 

I have an A**ec 1200W and they come as standard, making a quad GPU setup rather neat.

I couldn't find the PCI cables on the site, you might try contacting CS by phone and ask them. You may be able to buy them directly that way.

well they came with my 1200i, i also have seen them come with other psus from corsair

id get on skype and call them directly and ask

 

mr.peanutz can probably hook you up with that info

There are 8 8-pin slots for the CPU and GPU cables.

 

With one socket for the CPU and four double-headed GPU cables, you can have your quad-GPU setup with 3 spare sockets.

Hey guys, did you ever resolve this issue? As far as I can tell, Corsair only sell single 6+2 PCIe cables for the AX1200 and the AX1200 is not compatible with ANY other of their cables (Type 2/3/4) :-(((. Thanks in advance for reply.
