Can I use Evga BQ cables with Evga super Niva G2

I know and even the rep I talked to at evga said he could not say he advises it but from what he gave me the pinout on both the BQ and G2 are the same for the cpu.

So it should work? Or am I missing something?

Motherboard side wiring will always be the same. Verify PSU side wiring is the same as you only included the G2 pin-out in your post

The second photo is the BQ pinout

Second photo doesn't specify if it's motherboard or PSU side and only shows the EPS connector. Assuming BOTH the second image is the PSU side and that's the only cable you're using, then yes, it'll work.

No it doesn't work because EVGA hasn't Standardized their Pinout to my knowledge

 

So its best to not do it.

Why? Did your G2 not come with cables? Are the cables for the G2 in some way damaged? Do you have custom sleeved cables you want to use? Are you too lazy to redo your cable management in the case?

hey sorry late reply I took a nap. So I have two computers, one being a I7 4770k with 970 and the other being dual X5660 Xeons and GTX 1070. The dual xeon PC is crashing anytime the CPU is pinned at 100%. But you can play games and everything no problem but when you hit the CPU with a load it will shut down on me. Sometime in 10 min sometimes 30 its random. I tested RAM, reapplied thermal paste, and done just about everything else minus switch out the PSU. I don't use the I7 PC so I gutted it power supply (G2 750). They are both EVGA so I was wondering about being able to use the other. I don't have the original G2 box as I bought that PC used.


But a little update if yall are curious for the situation. I found out a while back that both CPUS will run with just one EPS connector but I imagine with reduced clocks (I have never tested it or ran it long with just one EPS to notice). So right now I just have one plugged up and its working. Instead of stress testing I let Rainbow six loop all night and it never shut down. But if I start OBS and Rainbow then boom crash. At this point I feel it is a motherboard issue

What do you mean by crash?

 

If the PC blue screens; The PC is likely unstable.

 

If the PC just restarts; That could be a power problem.

 

If the PSU shuts off and makes a clunk sound, and cannot be turned on with the power button, until you unplug it, and replug it in the power cable; That's something is drawing too much current, so the PSU is immediately shutting down the PC for safety.

 

Extra EPS connectors do fuck all. They mostly only exist for making the motherboard look better, especially with a board with an LGA1150 socket. 

 

Have you checked windows logs?

Well the board has two CPUs so I think the extra one might be mandatory with higher end CPUs.
The PC acts like it looses all power and the screen goes black and the pc shuts off.

I can start the PC right back up with no problem.

So I looked at the logs and all I get is
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

But I just noticed something right before the critical error I get this 
Volume \\?\Volume{7053cd37-0000-0000-0000-100000000000} (\Device\HarddiskVolume6) is healthy.  No action is needed 

That only appears right before the crash

I was told by EVGA Customer Support that you can use the cables within model groups.  Ie.  650 P2 cables with 750 P2 or 850 P2.  But not outside the model group.

 

I wouldn't risk it, and it looks like you have deeper issues than just cabling.

Yeah I was told the same but its just strange as both are electrically the same. Also yeah I found out after changing the power supply that I have bigger issues but I just dont know what. I have ran a mem test, I have changed PSUs, I have reapplied thermal paste (Even though temps where not high), and I still have no clue

Are you sure it's the CPU getting hit by a load that is triggering issues?  What about the GPU?

I can play games for 12 hours strait and no issue but when the CPUs get a load on them AKA stream then it shuts off

Oh, it's a dual socket board. Sorry, I missed that.

Yeah, the second EPS connector is required
