Corsair RM850 replacement 24 pin.

[Disco_P]

My 24 pin on my 850 is dying. The slightest touch and it just cuts off.

Cablemod set is too expensive and too long.

However it lists compatibility with AXi, HXi and RM series PSUs. Which, as long as they did their research, means that AXi and RM series PSUs use the same cables.

So this should be compatible?

The physical sockets are identical.

If I try this, will my PSU explode and set my house on fire?

OK, I was looking at prices because I am an unloyal person and saw that the corsair page lists it as compatible.

I am not going to die in a fire.

Probably

Which end of the cable is causing the problem? If it's the modular end that plugs into the psu it could be the connector on the psu itself.

I gave the PSU side plugs a good wiggle and no shut at all.

They also physically look fine.

But it look me ages to get the cable back into a position where it would work.

Will Corsair not send you a replacement if you contact them?

 

[Disco_P]

Yeah but I assume that would be downtime. And I have just started to get back into skyrim

I have already contacted ocuk cs about getting it replaced. And I really wanted to replace the massive braided extension setup I am using atm.
