Go to solution Solved by Origami Cactus,

NO, don't mix cables from different PSUs, especially from different manufacturers. They often have different pinouts and it is an easy way to blow something up.

If you are really determined, at least search up the pinout schematics for each psu and then compare them carefully before making any stupid decisions. It would also be a good idea to test the pinouts yourself with a voltmeter or something, to be extra sure.
