cable Molex/4pin Compatibility between HX1000 and AX1200i

[alanmona]

Hi,

I could not be 100% sure if the original cable between PSU HX1000 platinium ( 2021 model) and AX1200i ( 2013 or 2014) can be swapped safely. From compatibility corsair chart all type 3 and type 4 cable except 24 pin seems to be compatible.

- However for Molex/4 pin, the pinout seems different (see picture attached). why original cable between HX1000 and AX1200i can be swapped with different pinout?

- PCIE/sata the pinout are the same so can they be swapped?

Thank you

They both use the same type-c cables, no worries

Missing pins don't mean incompatibility. It just means they're using different pins.

 

This chart is correct and the only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 is the 24-pin: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/psu-cable-compatibility
