What is this wire called??

[Craigathorn]

One of the wires on the back of this has come out and I don't have a soldering iron or anything to try and fix it with so am trying to buy another 1 off Amazon (my first supplier has failed me with deliveries twice!!) 

 

i know its the atx wire to plug in the 24 pin socket on the board, and on the psu it says it's just a 24pin atx plug (corsair rm850x) but when I search for just a standard atx cable they all seem to be in one solid piece on the side that connects to the psu unlike this one where it has a 18 socket plug and a 10 socket plug, to which I can't find any of on Amazon..

 

HELPPPPPPPP

One end plugs in to the PSU, one end in to the motherboard. The 18 and 10 pins would go to the PSU.

EDIT: RMA the PSU. Do it. Now.

Why?

Because " One of the wires on the back of this has come out and I don't have a soldering iron or anything to try and fix it with so am trying to buy another 1 off Amazon (my first supplier has failed me with deliveries twice!!) "

I thought 24 power connectors usually have a pin missing because it's not exactly required by the motherboard? Or am I confusing something with something else...

Either contact corsair and see if they can send you a replacement cable, or contact the retailer that sold you the PSU and tell them about your problem and ask for an RMA and replacement PSU.

They said come out, not is missing. Therefore, they should mean that one of the wires going to the pins has come out

They could be mis-wording what happened or just saw it now without the pin and are assuming it fell out.

Well, it's the top left of the larger connector.

Check online if corsair is meant to have a pin in there. I can't as my PC hates alt tab right now.

Well, on the PSU it has a pin filling every slot so yeah, RMA...

Yeah sorry, the pic isn't clear to depict the problem, I just wanted to know which wire to buy as a replacement haha

 

the issue is that the actual wire (not the pin) has come out of the top left pin of the smaller connector

 

i dont want to have to RMA but I guess I should really  had to do it with my screen got delivered and that took 3 weeks to bloody sort out, at least I could hook it up with a different monitor but without a psu I'm f*cked. -.-'

And you couldn't fix it with a soldering iron. You'd need to learn how to crimp the cables properly. There are tutorials, it's the same thing as braiding cables sort of.

All I see here is just panic mode, without any proper research on whether that pin actually did fall out or it was made like that on purpose. It would be really difficult to have that pin fall out, when there are reverse latches that prevents them from doing so. The end your holding in the pic, goes towards the PSU, not to your motherboard. And the number of pins in that pic is 29 pins.

I know the feeling. I have a new PSU arriving monday from an RMA that they screwed up. They thought I wanted a refund rather than a replacement.

Read all previous replies and not just my OP, you'd see I'm not concerned about the pin missing from the front, I just wanted to know what the cable was so I could order a new one as all the ones I could find only have 1 solid block that attached to the psu not 2 separate blocks. 

 

The problem is on the the reverse side of the cable and the wire is free I.e. With the frayed end of cable hanging out the socket.

The cable is Corsair proprietary, only they will have it. You will need a pin removal tool to take out the that pin, unhook the clamps on it and put the cable back in and then lock it back with some pliers. The other is to buy a pack of those pins and diy.

 

And I've read all your replies, none of them say the frayed end of cable is hanging out of socket

RMA has now been submitted boys, however i'm an impatient b*stard and have requested they refund the items and have ordered a new PSU off amazon as they deliver on sundays. :')

 

real quick though, before that order gets fully confirmed.. is there any point in getting the RMi rather than the RMx? apparently the RMi just has an extra few bits on for corsair link, but i don't really know what that is or whether i would benefit from it.. i do have a corsair case, corsair RAM and corsair AIO water cooler for my cpu, so if you've got any idea as to whether it's work the corsair link then that would be appreciated

The software monitors your psu for the rmi.
