Are the Corsair RM850 cables compatible with AX860 ?

[z484z]

So currently i have RM850 in my rig and i'm giving it to a friend and upgrading to AX860 

the thing is i like the RM flat black cables and i already done a fine job of cable management

since the AX860 comes with ugly sleeving i was wondering if i can just use the RM cables that i already have

and give the AX cables to my friend along with the RM850

so i end up with AX860 and RM850 cables 

 

because to be honest i don't plan to spend money on Corsair sleeved kit or a sleeved extensions

Please don't take chances with cables, cables can melt when conducting more current than they're rated to - Just purchase according to compatibility. They cost more for a reason, because they can handle more.

That corsair cable kit is rated to handle the rm and ax series, however, what came standard with your rm may not be able to handle the ax psu

Doesn't the AX860 come with low profile cables too? (Except for the 24 pin but eh)

It's to do with the pin outs being different, not the capacity of the cables.  :rolleyes:

I take it you're not familiar with the basics of electricity?

Haha, ok, i'll bite, teach o guru when nearly all PSU's use either 16 or 18 gauge wire.
