AX750 2xpci-e cables + EPS12V CPU cable

hello

 

with the new 3080 was looking how to connect the 3 pci-e connectors those cards have ,on my psu since it can have 4 pcie connectors from the 2 double cables i have ,but i noticed the only option i have to install the second cable is in the place of the 2nd EPS12V CPU Cable (my board need 2)

 

do i miss something cant i have both 2x pci-e cables and 2xEPS12V CPU Cable in this PSU ?

from a bit search i can see that the solution will be to create a hybrid cable

i need 3x pcie power cables and 3x 4 Pin +12 Volt Power Cable Connectors

i have 2 extra cables (1 with 2 pcie power and 1 with 2x4 +12v both connect to the 12 port plug on the PSU)of those from an RMA PSU so i removed from each one the double cable that i dont need .

 

In the 12 pin slot of the power supply i have to create a cable that will give me :

 

+

 

are the pins 7,8,9,10,11,12 +12v (red color)

and the rest ground ?

it might have 1 week or 10 years life nobody can tell ,i have this PSU in a pc that is turned on 3-4 hours per day at most ,so i assume has more life than machines runing 24h,the reason i always buy corsair PSUs on all pcs i make its because live LONG...

anyway i measured the voltage on all pins to be sure ,did the mod,everything works fine .

 

now i can have 3x power pcie and 3x 4pin 12v motherboard pins.

Buy a new PSU.

 

As a general rule of thumb, it's a good idea to replace a PSU when the warranty runs out.

 

If you can afford a 3080, you can afford a new 850W PSU. The reason I say 850W is because you get tons of the sockets and cables you need.

 

Making hybrid cables for the sake of saving a few $$ sounds like bad idea when you are gambling with a new card that cost so much.

 

Don't be angry. Just my humble opinion.

The same thing popped up in another post about the age of PSUs :

It's not a matter of "1000W being enough". It's a matter of the age of the unit. Just because a PSU "works" doesn't mean it's working as well as it did new.

 

Old electrolytic capacitors, especially after several thermal cycles, will suffer from a decrease in capacitance and an increase in ESR. This diminishes its ability to properly filter ripple. So while the PSU may be output correct voltages, those voltages may not be as well filtered as they were 10 years ago and could potentially damage components down stream.

all opinions are welcome ,no reason to be angry ,yes my future plan is to go with a AX850 when i can affort it but not right now ,i just got a nice deal to sell my current vga and with 200-300 more get the 3080.

Yes, better play it safe.. a multimeter can't measure voltage ripple, and if it's too high, it will drive every VRM in your computer completely bonkers, or fry them with time.

If you play with overclocking, you are pretty much certain to get higher stable clocks with a new PSU

The AXi and HX1 are very efficient which make them easy on the power bill longer term.

 

The new RM (white label) are 80 plus gold which is not bad. This model replaced the old one from a decade ago. The new RM come with a 10 year warranty which is all the more reason to modernize.

 

Motherboards with an 8-pin EPS12V and 4-pin ATX12V can make do fine with only the EPS12V cable installed. The TRX4 motherboards have dual EPS12V to handle higher power requirements. Servers tend to need several EPS12V as well as some CPUs are close to 400W.

thanks for your comments ,i prefer to buy the top of the line so it will be AX or HX ,AX850 is not in corsair website i guess is no more in production. Edited October 5, 2020 by No_Fear

IC thank you.
