Can you get replacement GPU power cables?

InfernoUk · 13 Jul 2019 at 09:41

I have this XFX PSU: XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver'

I recently wanted to add a second GPU to my desktop PC, however i have moved house several times since building the PC and the box of cables is gone!

Im wanting to know if its possible to obtain the GPU power cable for my second GPU in any way? or will I have to purchase and fit a whole new PSU?

Thanks for any help

Your best hope is contacting XFX.
That's discontinued/very old model, so it's highly unlikely that any third party makes cable sets for it.

yeah, i tried but they need a serial number to even contact them and thats going to be a pain to get off the PSU, perhaps ill have to just buy a whole new unit

If you have the psu mounted with the fan facing down the serial number should be facing you as it should be to the right of the label with the rail power breakdown.

I dont know if its a good idea or not.. but can you use a molex to PCIE adaptor for this (hides from pasty in a corner)

@Kurgen Go and beat yourself with a stick then stand in the naughty corner for the rest of the day!!

That's not a good idea especially if it's a second 980ti. I would have thought he has come to some solution by now.

Check Fleabay for spare cables.

Can get braided replacement cables, just google, not cheap though.
