Ordered PCIE power connector was created differently

[s00316]

I ordered custom PSU cable for my GPU but it seems different from my original cable.

Original      Custom

□□□□     □□□□

□■□□     □□□■

 

So the original has empty slot on the shaded pin out and custom cable has empty slot on the end of pin out.

***note that this is connector to PSU not GPU side Is this going to cause the problem?

 

The guy who made the cable told me

"The Type 3 housing are all 12v on the bottom and all grounds on the top pins. There are two wires crimped together in the top row because the there are 5 ground wires. The bottom is wired differently by the maker but they do not matter because they are all soldered into the same block inside the PSU"

Regardless of if what he said is correct (I don't know) there's no reason why it should be like that.

However you can fix it yourself. There should be little tabs on the side of the sockets in the plastic housing. Depressing these will allow you to remove the socket and put it in the right place.

You can usually do this with tweezers.

The official spec is below.

Technically, it should be fine. but i would use 2 staples or paper clips to move the pins. He is correct that the 12v pins are all soldered to the same 12v rail though.

I fixed the location of the 12v pin to right location. But now I realized original one has 2 wire cramped on left side but custom one has 2 wire cramped on right side. Does ground wire location matters too??

Like I said before, it SHOULD be fine, cause it's all 12v, but I would try to match it cable for cable to be the same. 2 crimped match, etc.
