Does anyone know what SATA power cables I can use for the EVGA 750BQ. It was given to me by a friend but he was using m.2 and no longer has them (no molex with psu either). I have looked up getting a genuine EVGA part but I’m in the UK and can’t get first party delivered. 
 

I can’t find which other oem cables are compatible as the BQ series doesn’t seem to be listed on compatibility tables, and not sure whether to trust the third party Amazon ones. Would be powering 2x ssd drives with game and editing library, plus a pwm fan hub.

 

thanks in advance.

The 750BQ is listed under compatibility.

 

I missed the part about being in UK.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

So your friend gave you only part of a PSU. The problem with power cables is back when ATX was created there wasn’t such a thing as a modular PSU so the cables are considered part of the PSU as far as standards are concerned whether they are connected or not.  The only ones who really know the specs of those cables are the engineers that designed them.  Unless someone takes those cable and reverse engineers them (which has happened in some cases) other than them having an end that produced X the engineers weren’t constrained by the spec at all.  The result is the only real way to get a safe cable for that PSU is to order them from the company that made the thing. If they have them, They will be pricey.  Might wind up costing more than a new PSU. 
 

The moral of the story is DON’T  THROW AWAY  YOUR MODULAR CABLES if you think you may ever want to use it on another machine.  Also, don’t buy a PSU without all its cables

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.
