Rm1000x cables on PX1000G?

[vortexx21]

I have the cable mod replacement flex kit for RM1000x, I sold that and bought a Deepcool PX1000g, if the cable fit in the slots can I use those on the new psu?, afaik i havent seen the flex kits for deep cool px1000g.

You'd need to compare the pin-outs before trying.

 

Typically, the plug and socket will be 'keyed' specifically to stop the wrong cable being plugged in but even if it does fit, the pin-out might be different.

Nope. Do not mix and match power supply cables. You need to use the cables that came with the Deepcool PX1000G.

This is the only right answer, if you have to ask.

No is the answer, else they wouldve already checked the pinout on it themselves.

No, nope, nada, zilch, nuuh,...

It is possible that they might use the same cables, or at least for some of the cables. But like @ChrisLoudon mentioned you would need to compare the cables to ensure the different cables are wired the exact same. Best way to do this would be using a multimeter to measure and map the voltage on all of the pins on the PSU or continuity check each of the pins at either end and compare against the standardised side of the connector to determine if they're wired the same. EPS12V and PCIE cables might be the same since they're just +12V and Ground wires and will likely be either 12V across the top row or 12V across the bottom row... pretty much 50/50 chance if it is the same. Stuff like SATA cables are much less likely to be the same since they're a mix of 12V, 5V, 3.3V and ground randomly placed across 6 pins. Also if you get the SATA cable wrong it will kill your SSD/HDDs. The 24 pin is very unlikely to be the same as it's 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 5VSB, -12V, Ground, PS-ON, PWR_GOOD, and sense wires all spread out randomly over 28 different pins.

It's pretty common for different power supplies to use the same physical connector from the supplier but wire them differently. Just because it fits in the socket doesn't mean it's wired the same.

 

Just use the Deepcool cables. It's not worth risking.

*within a single manufacturer's product line. In theory. Though Corsair bunged that up and literally paid the price for it.

This indicates to me that they *aren't* the same pin out. If they were, CM could just rebadge the kit 

[OddOod]

If you want to check, you need a multimeter, a known ground, and these images.

 

Use the included 24pin cable to jump start the PSU, then use the multimeter to test each Cablemod cable's actual output against the voltage according to the spec. You should probably triple-check, just to be sure, paying particular attention to which side the clip is on
Or you could just yolo it, plug it all in, and fry potentially everything up to and including other devices on the same circuit. Please do have a fire extinguisher on hand if you go this inadvisable route, and remember, electrical fires keep going as long as there's electricity. Unplug the burning things.

For a side thing i will check the pin out and thx for the diagrams! But i will use the provided cables as yall have made it apparent i am asking for a house to burned down lol. Thx for the warning yall.

I had one more questions if u dont mind, so those are from the psu side or the cable to psu side? Or do you want me to see if my PSU will match those to see if i can use the corsair cables? If that didnt make sense (im half asleep lol), do u want me to make sure the pin out side of my psi matches the diagram? Thx

If you're gonna check to see if they have the same pinout, you need to plug the cable into the PSU, then test the side that will plug into a component. I would recommend using the 24 pin that came with the new PSU to jump the supply, then use your flex cables to test *each and every* pin to ensure it's giving the correct voltage. If *all* the pins checkout on the PCIE, CPU 4 pin, and SATA connectors, then and only then would I recommend testing the 24pin

Ohh ok i get it now, first jump the psu using the included jumper, then test each of the included deep cool cables i have (2 of 8 pin cpu and the 24 pin since i will use the 12vhpwr for my gpu). U want me to make sure the reading i get from my multimeter matches the the diagram that u provided since that one is for corsair cables (that are my cable mod kit)
