Seasonic prime 1000watt platinum

[Livinloud]

I got this power supply for $2.50..I don't know for certain if it works as I don't have any of the modular cables and looks like it will cost around hundred to get them all. (Cablemods, maybe a little under). My question is this an idea I should try getting those or just cut my loss? I currently have a evga 750watt platinum.

this, because it's just $2.5. If something's selling for that cheap, something must be wrong.

DONT USE THOSE CABELS FROM THE P2/PQ

 

just so i've said it... 5v and 12v could be swapped and literally fry it

Well if it's $2.50 then it's either dead or it will light your house on fire.

Up to you.

If it was stolen it would be selling for a lot more...

Thieves steal to make money, not $2.50

It was from an Amazon return place called its $5. Most everything I have gotten there has worked. Now this I'm not sure, so it's a gamble well at the time..couldnt find the psu cables but I'm sure they were there somewhere..just people there open the packaging and let it all fall out so they ruin shit like that. But I did not know you can mix modular cables because they won't be the same. If I knew that I wouldn't have pick it up...but the time I thought I had a chance to make some real money lol.

Well you can try to call seasonic customer service and they might send you a cable kit for it for free or cheap, or buy some custom cables from cablemod.

Best to call Seasonic and get the cables from them.

Found a 550watt seasonic for $25 with all the cables. Its being delivered next week. Seasonic sent me to a website with all the cables and I then proceeded to email that company and confirmed the cables seasonic sent me work in both so just only $25 to see if it works and if it doesn't I just sell that 550watt psu and be a wash basically. Hope I win though!

So after talking to seasonic and the company they recommend I buy from via email I was able to establish most psu made with in the last few years of "seasonic only" the cables are interchangeable. I now have found out my seasonic prime 1000watt titanium is a fully functional unit and works really well. I have not attempted yet to overclock to draw power yet. But I will attempt that first before actually putting it in my every day rig.
