Arcanu Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hello, is the ATX sleeved cable (from Corsair store) from RM750 and RM750x compatible with one another? http://www.corsair.com/de-de/individually-sleeved-ax-i-1200i-860i-760i-atx-24pin-generation-2-black This is Type 3 cable for: RM Series – 1000/850/750/650/550/450 Available for purchase. http://www.corsair.com/de-de/individually-sleeved-24pin-atx-cable-type-4-generation-2-black This is Type 4 cable for: RMx Series – 1000/850/750/650/550 Not available. I have the RMx750 PSU and want the ATX cable for the RM750 PSU. Thank you. Arcanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanu Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I had another support ticket about the ATX cable because I thought that I mixed up the ATX slots during sleeving. The ticket was 10 days old and I didn't get a answer. Do you also have bad experience with the support? Found similar questions: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=159543 No answer. Is there another way (expect the Corsair chat) to talk with some one from this company? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam360 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 No they're not compatible, only the ATX cable, the other cables are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa3pnt Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Note the different "Types". One is a Type 3, and the other is a Type 4. They are not the same. You require the Type 3 for the RM750. RodeoGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanu Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Bam369 and wa3pnt: Where do you get this information? Are you 100% sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam360 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The ATX cable is not compatible since RMx cable is different, it has 28 pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcanu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 How can I chat with people who made PSUs? The support doesn't react to my tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terroralpha Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 you can use type 3 cables on a type 4 PSU, but why would you? you will reduce the voltage accuracy and ripple suppression of the RM750x. either sleeve your own cable or wait util corsair starts selling the sleeved type 4 ATX cable. or return the RM750x and get a regular RM750. type 4 cables have extra wires on all cables that feedback information from your other components back to the PSU which the PSU then uses to correct it's output. there are also capacitors inside those type 4 cables that help suppress voltage ripple. removing those feedback wires and caps will turn your RM750x into a more efficient CX750M. ripple will be 3 or 4 time higher and voltage regulation will also drop. total waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Blake Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hello, So the Type 3 cable is technically compatible with the RM750x. You will have to cut off the retention clip on the 14-pin connector, and then plug it into the 750x. However, you can also just transfer the 14-wires onto an 18-pin connector, similar the picture previously posted. The wiring placement needs to be exactly the same as the 14-pin, with the "left" four pins being completely blank. Outside of this, no the Type 3 RM750 24-Pin cables will not work out of the box with a Type 4 RM750x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
