Lost modular psu pcie cable.

Ilikegladpandas · Jul 26, 2016

I was wondering if anyone knew how to check which pins are which voltages with the use of a multimeter as I want to create a new connector for my lost one.

I don't just want to go on jamming the multimeter in random holes directly in the psu as that seems like a mostly horrible idea.

Psu is a Rosewill m-450.

If you have lost your PCIe cable then just buy a new one. No point using the multimeter.

This is a cable with 8pin 6+2 that will do. Any place that sells PSUs should have one or you can get one like this on Ebay.

If the pinouts don't match I could end up frying a new gpu, which would be devastating. I don't want to stick a 12v in a ground.

Go here and look up the pin outs and other information. The PCIe cable has a standard that all these cables meet.

The standard is for the pinout on the end of the connector that plugs into the card though, right? The pinout from the power supply itself could be vastly different from my understanding.

Here is the pinout for your Rosewill: http://www.moddiy.com/pages/Rosewill-ARC%252dM450-PSU-Pinout.html
You are concerning your self unnecessarily.

That is not a pcie cable though...

Ilikegladpandas :

Yes I realize that now, Sorry. I have looked into your PSU.
If it is the ARC version then it does not come with any cables. It does not have very good reviews and of coarse the price of the unit indicates this. On their site I could not see what plugs are available however it should conform with standards.

Cable kits are available for all your connections to hardware on your MB however Rosewill say that you should only purchase their cables. I can't see that.

MeanMachine41 :

I haven't seen any cable kits and I've looked extensively. Mind linking the ones you found?

Ilikegladpandas :

The only complete kits are for sleeved cables and probably more than you would wish to pay.
Here is a link to EBay where you can choose for your requirement. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=EVGA+SLEEVED+PC+POWER+CABLE+KITS&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XPSU+MODULA+PC+POWER+CABLE+KITS.TRS0&_nkw=PSU+MODULA+PC+POWER+CABLE+KITS&_sacat=0
