Hello everyone, I’m doing some box cleaning and I found a bunch of cables which I’ll ask for your help for identification, if you don’t mind 🙃

So, as the title says, how do you call this cable?


Thank you!

    I’m not one the throw things away, but please don’t reuse them if you don’t know what your doing.

    The PSU end of PSU cables are usually different from brand to brand, sometimes model to model (thanks Corsair), so yeah as long as the pinout matches you should be fine, but I usually wouldn’t risk it. Oh the cables are usually all black too, so good luck toneing it out with a multimeter.

    For example Corsair vs Seasonic, pay attention to the PSU side:

    Corsair Type 4 Pinout

    Seasonic Pinout

      Yeah, check any documentation available and even check which pins are connected to the same voltage rails. In this case, common sense says that the GPU most likely be fine as long as it uses less than 2/3 the rated power of the cable but any drives will pop.
