Hi Comp,
I think I told you this before with your last psu, but I blew an ssd and psu by picking up the wrong cable. In this case I used an OCZ modular cable (sata power) accidentally putting into a corsair modular psu. The result was a sata power cable fitting perfectly into a 12 Volt supply frying both components! I now keep each manufacturers modular cables separately and double check that voltage on each modular connector!
And someone else figure out the wonderful advantages of having "proprietary" plugs. Anyone else ever figure out that those fantastic modular plugs that we all use are NOT per any specification other than those the power supply manufacturer invented on the spot?Originally Posted by adsyf
Sure, they know the voltage and current limit for ATX, but nothing else is per any specification.
Kudos to adsyf for making this realization.
I have read about other people during this, corsair prints on the PSU to use only their cables, and each corsair PSU have their own, so you can't even swap corsair model cables between corsair models
That's true, partly.
I got some additional cables from Corsair for my HX1000, and the HX1000 is different from their two lower HX models. Of course, I didn't pay for the cables since Corsair will provide them on request for free. I simply had to ask for more cables and specify the HX1000.
If the PSU industry were smart and had their act together, they could all chose a standardized connection. Then you could go to your local electronic store and buy modular cables for whatever you want. I'm sure you could eventually buy kits to fabricate your own cables at that point.
