Which PCI-E Cable?

hooj · Jan 17, 2012, 12:59 PM

Hello, i have the Corsair TX750 V2 PSU and it comes with four PCI-E Cables and i would just like to know if i can just use any one of the four cables?

As it stands the one i am using is working (correct amount of pins etc) but i just need to be sure because i know nothing of PSU's.

If there are 6 pins on your gpu grap the one with 6 pins doesn't matter wich one

Use any. If they'd use the same connectors with different pinouts a lot of devices would be fried by users.
