PSU Replacement Cable

[ttboy99]

Hey guys, I have lost my spare cables for my beQuiet PSU. Now I am upgrading and will need another PCIe cable. Can I simply buy a replacement one from bequiet or do I have to match one to my specific model.

Have you contacted beQuiet to ask them yet?

No should I?

Check the cables section on the BeQuiet website and see if there are any retailers in your country which sell the cables https://www.bequiet.com/en/accessories/power-cable/805

You might also be able to get in contact with customer support and buy the standard cables to replace the original ones.

 

Also check third party cable retailers such as cablemod, however keep in mind you need to choose cables that are compatible with your model of PSU - Not all cables are the same and using the wrong cables can damage your system.

This. When I switched from one model PSU to another model, I didn't replace the cables initially and the system wouldn't turn on.

Worse comes to worse, check the wiring pinout. If you already have one PCIe cable, compare it with the new cables. From what I've seen with modular PSU's, the protection circuitry will kick in if you mess up, but don't risk it.
