UnsoundMethods Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Hello, I bought a computer as it was built(missing a graphics card) off someone over a year ago and I didn't know to ask for the remaining uninstalled power supply cables. I don't think that these were something I was given and I don't want to trouble him to find them. I recently got a graphics card that takes 2 8pin PCIe cables. I have a Corsair RMx 850 power supply. Are these a set that would have come with the power supply?: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/Premium-Individually-Sleeved-PCIe-Cables-%28Single-Connector%29-Type-4-Gen-4/p/CP-8920243 EDIT: Just realized through package contents that these appear to be just two 8 pin to 6+2 pin cables, not a full set, ergo exactly what I need. Still confused what the cable below is. Will probably order one of these. Is this just one 6+2 PCIe cable?: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/Type-4-Sleeved-black-PCIe-cable-with-pigtail-connector-and-capacitors-for-Type-4-PSU/p/CP-8920143 Presumably I just need to buy 2 of the single cable. The pictures are confusing they seem to show 2 cables and only one end of the cable clearly. Does anyone know how long it is? Sorry if questions seem obvious. New to most of this.

Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted May 13, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 13, 2020 Any "type 3" or "type 4" cable will work for you. It's really too bad that they can't put the length of the cable on the product page. But IIRC, they're the same length as stock PCIe cables (600mm?). Unless they say they're "SFX", like for the SF Series PSUs. Then they'd be much shorter. The two you linked look like full length cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsoundMethods Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Cool, thanks for the reply. I just need them to be about a foot long so I think it'll work out fine even if I have to shift the card down a slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsiccia Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 As an alternative you can look at Cablemod. Not the cheapest guys around, but the quality is very good and you can specify exactly what you need including length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
