Posted May 19, 2023 I have a RM650 (bought in early 2020) currently in my system and want to upgrade to a RMx850. Do I need to pull out all the cables in my system or can I just plug my existing cables into the rmx850? I looked at the cable compatibility chart on corsair's site and left confused. I think they're the same but I would like to double check. I'd like to keep using my existing individually sleeved if possible but that's a small price to pay for not blowing up my system.

You need to change all of the cables. Have you tried turning it off and on again? Maybe Restart it? Please make sure to Mark the Solution as a Solution. Take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Posted May 19, 2023 They're the same cables, and you can just reuse them 11 minutes ago, FI Fheonix said: YES. You need to change all of the cables. According to...?

OP told us exactly which PSU they are changing from and to, and it takes seconds to verify that they use the same cables. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Corsair, they do use the same cables, so I was wrong. I guess it isn't an issue. When switching from one brand of PSU to another brand, then it is absolutely necessary to change the cables. Have you tried turning it off and on again? Maybe Restart it?

Corsair is very nice when it comes to using the same cables on multiple different PSU's from their range, so is it with seasonic on certain PSU's as well.

In ideal land yes, but when pinouts are shared you do with what you have especially when youre already 100-150$ down on a custom cable kit.
