12vhpwr connector question.

[pepsi_man004]

Hi!

 

I have a RMX 850w PSU, this does not come with a 12vhpwr cable. It has 2 PCIE cables instead,

 

Would I be able to use a 12vhpwr cable from a RMX Shift PSU that my friend has?

 

Currently my PCIE cables are being pressed against my case glass, they are pretty tough cables and I am unsure if it will be fine to keep them pressing against the glass.

Sorry, as I am new to all this stuff, I assume the rmx shift has type 5 so therefore my RMX 850w uses type 4?

EDIT: I don't think type 4 and 5 cables are interchangeable.

Just get an angled 12Vcrap adapter

No.

Corsair type 5 uses a smaller connector than Type 4. They are physically incompatible.

Not sure I'd trust any of those after the Cablemods fiasco.

 

The Corsair Type 4 Premium cables are really nice as they are flexible so you end up with a nicer/safer bend radius at the GPU.

They made better ones since, and not only Cablemods make them, but Thermal Grizzly too and those are reliable (if expensive)

Even Thermal Grizzly admit they are potentially more prone to issues than a plain cable, although I don't think they have experienced any problems so far.
