I'm looking for a white PSU that's 1000W+ and has at least 6 CPU/PCIE connectors. The new Cougar Polar power supplies meet this requirement however I'm hoping to use the cablemod custom cables I already have which are compatible with Seasonic Prime and Asus Thor PSUs.
The actual plugs look the same on the PSU, in that the 24 pin ATX is split the same on the PSU end but I have no idea as to what the pinouts are. I tried looking to see if the OEM for these PSUs was Seasonic but I had no luck.
Was just hoping someone here might have more info?
 
HEC is the main builder of Cougar PSU's and they have never used Seasonic before. The pinouts are highly likely to be different so if you use those cables with that PSU then you are highly likely to turn your pc into a expensive paperweight. If in any doubt contact Cablemod to see what they have to say about compatibility.

Do you actually need 1000w? The white Corsair RM850X has the number of connectors you require and is in stock at £135. I would take that over a Cougar unit anyday.

12900K + 3080ti. :p
Corsair one won't work with my cables I'm guessing anyway?
I don't even really need a white PSU since it's in an O11 evo, it's juts a nice to have to settle down my OCD. :p
Sucks that the Seasonic Focus GX1000 in White only has 5 pcie/eps plugs.
Same issue with the Asus 850W White PSU too.

Pity that Seasonic stopped making the Snow Silent 1050W PSU ages ago. That looked nice.
