12VHPWR cables?

On a PCIe 5.0 PSU the modular cable for the 12VHPWR are they the same across all PCIe 5.0 PSU's?

I have the Thermaltake 850 SFX and was wondering 12VHPWR cable would work on say the new Silverstone 850w SFX psu?

It has most likely got different pinouts so no unless you want to fry some expensive hardware. If you had both psu's then you could carefully compare them side by side to ensure that the cables come from and go to the exact same positions in the connectors but what would be the point of that if both psu's have all of their own cables?

Was gonna order a custom length cable but planning on changing the psu for the Silverstone one soon and if they did work on each other would be a bonus.

If you have a card that needs one of these, just don't, seriously

If you have to buy two cables, so be it.
