No psu cables

[Mal707]

I bought a used psu off of eBay and it didn't come with any cables it is a cooler mast v1000 is there anyway for me to get cables that will work with this psu? I needed a 1000w pay for my build I'm working on but don't have the money in the budget to buy a brand new one

What are you building that needs a 1000w psu where you can't afford a new PSU?!?

Aside custom cables or something that will probably cost as much as a new PSU, you're not going easily to find cables that fit that PSU.

I'm saying to buy the parts I didn't plan on getting a new PSU so I didn't consider it I thought what I had was enough but I don't think it will be

Whoa there, buddy. "Universal connectors" here could be really misleading. There is no universal standard that applies to all or even most PSU's... every manufacturer tends to use their own cables, and mixing and matching is how you make the famous "magic smoke" and then build a new PC.

 

@Mal707 The best way to determine which PSU's use the same cables and what will be safe to use is to consult CableMod's compatibiltiy chart.

There is no such thing as a universal connector, pinout on the PSU is different per manufacturuer and even within their own lineups. Telling someone to buy generic stuff is a surefire way to get someone to blow up their stuff.

With different pinout. Almost any modular Cooler Master PSU series has a different pinout

Matchup with what, the shape of the connectors? Because that's what you said.

But you didn't. You said "Cooler Master uses universal connectors," which gives the impression there's some "universal" connector standard, so at best he'll go off on a wild goose chase trying to find something that doesn't exist and at worst he'll buy cables that will fry all his shit.

What do you want to say with that. If it fits it works?

No such thing  as "universal connectors" exists.

Gives no info on how to determine if cables "match up." Many cables will physically fit but are not electrically compatible.

Yes, we can all read it, we quoted it in our replies, in fact. 

 

At first I thought you had just expressed yourself poorly and gave a misleading idea by mistake but now I'm starting to suspect you just don't actually know what you're talking about.

Please keep your pointless bickering out of perfectly healthy threads.

On cable mod they don't support the PSU or at least I'm not seeing it. It's a v1000w the highest wattage I see is 850

Here's the pinout

 

 

 

 

But where do you want to use a 10 year old PSU for? These units (Seasonic KM3 inside) have issues with recent high-end GPUs.

I didnt realize it was 10 years old I was going to use it on a 6950xt and a 12700k but I rather spend the extra chunk of money and be safe if it was only 2 or 3 I may have tried to find a way but fuck that

I was wanting to keep the one I had now but and I'd even be okay with limiting the power draw on the parts

750 watts would be plenty for running everything at stock, if you wanted to do a mild overclock on the GPU you could probably get away with that too but I wouldn't go crazy or anything and you'll be fine.

Granted it was with a really good power supply, a Corsair SF600, but I ran a 12900k and a 6800 xt for a long while on a 600W power supply.

About 70 watts more in your system for the GPU if left stock, and about 100W less total system draw for the CPU if left stock. There isn't a good way to measure just CPU power consumption so we have to go off of total system draw. That 750w will do fine if it's a good power supply.
