have a 850w Corsair RM PSU but am missing the PCIE cable, getting a 970 with a 8pin connector and was wondering what cable would work with it. only need a 8 pin

Any reason not to buy a replacement lead set from any of the usual places or try your luck with Corsair?

only want the one cable as the rest i have just never got it when i bought the PSU from someone, not looking to spend the price for a full set

Then again, have you contacted Corsair? Because the only way you won’t be buying a set, is if you have one made from one of the usual sources or Corsair are willing to supply you a one off for a nominal charge.

is it not possible to buy a single cable to use, have found a few on places like ebay etc, and i have not tried to contact them idealy looking to get one ASAP and dont think that will be the case with corsair

Same part from most other modular psu is probably fine too

It most certainly ******* isn't.

OP - do not use cables from any other model of PSU without checking the pinout. No one likes a dead PC.

This. Mixing psu cables is a nono.
