Nox_ Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hello, I bought a server powered by a HX750i and needed to add some disk + GPU (3090) The problem is that I lack some of the cables (1 x SATA and 2x PCIE 8 pins ) to do so. Problem 1 : Corsair cables are not compatible from one PSU to another Problem 2 : Where can I find such compatible cables ? If I check the graph, it looks like I need Type 3 cables Sata : is this sata power cable compatible ? PCIE: is this PCIE cable compatible ? Useful links : PSU cable compatibility : legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution LeDoyen Posted March 18 Solution Share Posted March 18 the old HXi are type 3 but really, only the motherboard 24 pin differs from type 4. you can get type 4 cables for PCIE and sata since they are probably easier to source (notice even type 4 psus use "type3" pata/sata) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox_ Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Ok, does the type 4 generation (3 or 4) has any impact ? I can go for any of them regardless ? Also, while looking for cables in the boxes, I found a PCIE type 3 cable, with a 8 pin input and 2 x 8 pin output. Can I use it to fill the 2 x 8 pin of my GPU ? If not, can I combine the type 3 with a type 4 ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just as @LeDoyen said ... PCIe, EPS, and peripheral cables are the same through the Corsair line. Only the ATX differs. Type 4 PCIe and EPS may have the inline capacitors but those aren't necessary. The pinouts for everything except the 24-pin ATX motherboard connector are the same between Type 3 and Type 4. It's a big reason why all of my PSUs are Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
