Zifinite Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Hello, I have Corsair AX860i PSU, and i want to know if your PCI-E 5.0 12VHPWR type 4 cable will work on my psu. I heard that all type3 and 4 PCI cables are the same and work with each other and AX860i is a type 3 PSU. So will this cable work as well? Thanks.

Why not give an actual answer, like Yes and No on the compatibility with Corsair AX860i. The page you linked says only type 4.0 PSUs are compatible but on your table it says type 3 and 4 PSUs have same PCI-E cables and can be used in both Type3-4 PSUs.

Because I don't have the answer - I'm not an expert on PSUs, nor do I work in our support department. This support FAQ is the best official documentation that I can find on this (other than the product page of course). 2 hours ago, Zifinite said: The page you linked says only type 4.0 PSUs are compatible but on your table it says type 3 and 4 PSUs have same PCI-E cables and can be used in both Type3-4 PSUs. Looking at the article and the PSU Cable Compatibility chart, they say the same thing. I think the confusion is "type 4.0 PSUs". The article states: Quote The CORSAIR 600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR Type-4 PSU Power Cable (including its premium sleeved variants) is compatible with with any Type-4 connector-compatible CORSAIR power supply. This does include all of our PSUs EXCEPT our HX Bronze & White PSUs, AX1200 and AX Gold; for further information please see our PSU compatibility table. Also it requires two available PCIe power ports on your PSU. The cable is NOT compatible with any Type 5 PSUs. "Type-4 connector-compatible" and the exceptions list when compared to the chart state the same thing, so yes, it appears that the AX860i is compatible with the cable. I couldn't speak to if it would power your system and a RTX 4xxx under full load. Again, not an expert.
