Asharru01 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Since the HX1000i uses shared ports for EPS and PCI-e, can I use an EPS Extension cable with the PCI-e cables? I'm trying to extend the length of the PCI-e cables on the PSU side instead of the video card side to limit the number of extension cables needed.

Asharru01 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Art, Thank you for the response, however I am confused by it. The HX1000i has 6 ports labeled "6+2 PCI-E & 4+4 CPU". All 6 of these ports are: Pin 1 - Square, Pin 2 - Curve, Pin 3 - Curve, Pin 4 - Square Pin 5 - Curve, Pin 6 - Square, Pin 7 - Square, Pin 8 - Curve The included PCI-E 8/6+2 Pigtail cable has the same configuration on the PSU end of the Type 3 cable just as the included EPS cable does (except the missing pin 4 on the PCI-E cable). The EPS Extension cable I am considering has the same configuration on both ends and is a direct extension (no crossover wiring). Where would the pin-out difference be? If there is a pin-out difference, shouldn't it be labeled on the PSU and in the manual so users do not plug their PCI-E 8/6+2 Pigtail into the wrong port on the PSU and fry their card? -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbletsplay Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Dear Corsair Support, I am new to building pc's and I was wondering if there is a special prt of the 4+4 CPU cable? It is labeled on the HX1000i as 6+2 PCIe and 4+4CPU. Can i plug in the CPU cable everywhere there and i get the right output or is there a special way it is dealt with? Thanks for your help in advance With kind regards Simon G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
