Help required with power supply modular cable for HX850 - CP-9020032

[DarkVain]

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this. Wasn't able to post in other areas which may have been more appropriate.

 

Having trouble find out which specific modular cable I need for the HX850 - CP-9020032 power supply.

It's the EPS12v 4+4 cable since the new motherboard I have now requires two 8pin CPU EPS12v 4+4 connections.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Again sorry if this is the wrong area.

If you look here: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/psu-cable-compatibility, you'll see what cables are compatible with your HX850 (GOLD) ... you can use both Type 3 and Type 4. The Type 4 will have capacitors in the cable for more stable voltage but it probably won't make much difference unless you are planning to tweak the overclock.

You can then head on over to https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/c/Cor_Products_Accessories_Parts?q=%3Afeatured%3AproductCategories%3ACor_Products_Accessories_Parts_PCComponents_PowerSupplies&text=&pageSize=12#rotatingText and find the variation on the EPS12V connector that you want (sleeved, colors ...) or even go with a less expensive stock replacement (https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/Type-3-Sleeved-Black-EPS-12V-CPU-Cable/p/CP-8920115).

No motherboard "requires" two 8-pin EPS12V connectors unless you're overclocking with LN2.

 

And since you're using a 10 year old PSU, I don't think you're overclocking with LN2.  😉
