webstar Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello, I recently bought Premium Individually Sleeved PSU Cable Kit Pro Type 4 in white to replace the black cables of my HX750 Platinum PSU. However, the cable box says that it supports HX from 2017. and I just checked my HX box which says 2016. on the bottom. Do all HX Platinums support type 4 cables or was there an earlier version of them that doesn't? Judging by the compatibility table, there's only one HX Platinum column which does confirm that it's type 4, yet I'm still unsure as I don't really want to fry a few thousand dollars in components. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted November 20, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 20, 2020 Your PSU uses type 4 cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted November 20, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 20, 2020 Those cables are for you. Not sure why they say "from 2017" on the box. That's kind of a bad way to market those. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webstar Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys, I also confirmed that it's Type 4 by looking at one of the unused cables - it's marked on the connector. I did see that a month ago when I replaced the GPU, but totally forgot about it. Not sure why they say "from 2017" on the box. That's kind of a bad way to market those. :( Honestly that's the one thing that had me concerned. Seeing it made me think that there are HXs that are not compatible, and although that might mean that HX Silver/Gold is not supported, it would've been much clearer to just say HX (Platinum) in the list of supported PSUs.

LeDoyen Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Often the people making marketing material are not technical at all. It can lead to such confusions :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
