Find out which cables are compatible with your PSU
CORSAIR modular power supplies have amazing versatility. Not only can users choose to install only the cables they need, but they can add new cables with different connector configurations or customize the appearance of their PC with different color combinations. To help decide which cables will work with your CORSAIR modular power supply, we’ve assembled the chart below.
PSU CABLE COMPATIBILITY
DISCLAIMER:
1. Please consider the total power consumption of the entire system when choosing compatible power supply units.
2. The only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 cables is the pinout of the 24-pin ATX cable; all other cables (SATA, PCIe, etc) are the same.
