Hey gang.
I'm trying to connect my AX860i PSU to an ASUS P9X79 LE motherboard, and I am running into a snag. The 24-pin and 8-pin cables that came with the PSU are literally 2-3 times too long and inflexible to boot. I'd love to build some custom, shoter, uv-reactive cables, but it seems as if Corsair is determined to keep me from doing so.
The mobo comes with diagrams of the connectors and what each pin is (3V, 12V, ground, etc.), but I can't find this info anywhere for the PSU. The manual is pathetic, the website is useless, and a web search turned up nothing. So, I came here to ask. To top things off, the PSU is some odd Corsair 10-pin+14-pin combination connector, with every pin full, leading to a standard 20+4 connector on the mobo side with one spot empty and one spot having 2 wires in it, so I am wary of doing this without all the info at my fingertips. Things don't match up easily. I could do it by destroying the cable completely, re-using the plugs as I replaced the wires one by one, but if I could avoid that it would be great.
Could also use the same diagram for the 8-pin...the mobo is just 12V on one side (4 pins) and ground on the other (4-pins), and it would be nice to confirm the PSU is the same.
Thanks!
