Which psu does it come from?

[FuryXL]

Hello mates,

Recently I was cleaning my desk when I found a psu cable. I'm completely not able to remember from which brand it comes.
Is there, by any chance, something that can identify it on the cable?
Here is a pic of the datas written on it.

If we're unable to determine the brand, I'll just throw it away, but it's a waste.
Thanks for the help

Hmm, seems like the generic font most power supplies use

 

If I had to guess I would say Corsair, but I would not be comfortable using a random cable off an educated guess

psu cables unfortunately aren’t standardized across brands, so you need to be very careful. If you upload a clear photo of the connector psu side and device side and the markings on the cable, someone might be able to recognize it.

In many cases, Corsair, evga, Seasonic, etc. use proprietary pinouts  plugging it into the wrong psu can damage your hardware. If you’re not 100% sure about the brand and model, it’s safer not to use it. Without clear identification, the best option is to store it aside or just discard it.

Yeah, that's why I wrote that I would throw it away without clear identification.
Here are the end and the beginning of the cable :

Although, even if you recognise the brand, you have no way of knowing what specific PSU it came from, unless of course you have only ever bought one from them

 

PSU manufacturers can use different pinouts across their models, so even if it was Corsair for example, it would probably be impossible to tell from what specific Corsair model

 

I would just throw it away personally, the risk is just not worth it

If you know exactly what PSU's you have ever bought, just look up images of the cables and see if they match

No I don't know, I have bought too many PSUs to clearly identify it.
That's a bomer, but hey, if there's nothing identifying it, my trashcan is opened

looks like corsair but i wouldn't put any cable of unknown source into any new PSU, unless you love fireworks and fireworks inside a case lol

 

this is the best choice, there is a way to tell if the cable are compatible, which is using probes and a multimeter (i think it's the correct name) and in case swap the pinouts to the correct location but it's a REALLY DANGEROUS path if you don't know what you're doing

[FuryXL]

yeah, I see what you're telling.
I would be able to do it, but I won't lose my time on something that boring just for a PSU cable that I don't need.
Thanks all for the answers

If it's a duplicate of another cable you have (for example another PCIE power cable) then I guess you could :

1 check if the connectors fit at all in the psu

2 compare, with another cable you're sure of, positions of cables on psu side to gpu side, same build should be same cable
