Hey guys, In a bit of a pickle.
I recently done a full system upgrade and am wanting to redo all the main cables for it (24 pin, 8 pin pcie & 8 pin EPS).
I did make all cables for my previous build so I have some knowledge.
Mu psu is the Corsair AX1200i and the issue I'm having right now is with the 8 pin pci-e, specifically the split cable. I have made 3 sets of dual 8 pin cables for my gpu but they keep tripping thr psu out when using a psu tester. I have 2 different diagrams I am following for the correct locations of each cable and am ensuring that the 3 +12v cables meet the correct points on the psu side, leaving no pin on the bottom left (facing the connector). When the cable is plugged into the psu it turns on with no problem but when I connect it to the psu tester, it sparks, trips and shuts off. I can only think there's something wrong with the split I make. I use a large female molex crimp to hold them together and then solder it.
If anyone could provide me with some help or even a correct pinout diagram, I would greatly appreciate it.
