Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted November 5, 2019 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 5, 2019 The EPS power cables are standard 4+4 to make an 8pin CPU power there is nothing wrong and so long as you are using the cable that came with the PSU and connecting the cable correctly there is nothing to fear.

mrquacker Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks, @Corsair Notepad! Even the shapes being different shouldn't I be concerned? The squares and rounded pins? I'm using the CPU cable that came with the RM750, and my concern regards its shape that is slightly different from the CPU plug on the motherboard - I've added the photos to illustrate it. Thanks once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayglorange Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yes, it will work just fine. Its a modern board, with a modern power supply. The difference in plug shape has no bearing on it, the contacts within the plug itself are the same. As long as you plug it in the right way round it'll fit just fine, as the rounded parts on the cable fit into the squared parts on the board's plug. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrquacker Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Thanks, @Dayglorange! I've tried it yesterday and it worked. I confirmed that my previous Asus board had the same plug and it also worked with the RM750. So everything's fine! Thanks once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
