I have the below PSU
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CS550M-Hybrid-Modular-Supply/dp/B00GN8VTVW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1508683502&sr=8-6&keywords=modular+power+supply+cable

and this GPU
https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-06G-P4-6161-KR/dp/B01IOWT4DO/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1508685957&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+gtx+1060

My existing PSU cable only has one 4 pin slot left so I'm looking to buy a new cable to go from the PSU's 6+2 PCIE slot and then directly into my GTX1060 6 pin slot.

Am I right in thinking this is correct cable for the job?

you must buy the proper cables from the manufacturer made specifically for the make and model of power supply


they are not cross compatible




that power supply should have come with all the cables you need

The CM550M comes with two 6+2 PCIE connectors. If you need a replacement, you have to find one that's *specifically* compatible with the model; modular cables aren't standardized on the side that goes into the PSU. This cable would not do the trick

According to https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/2v42b1/psa_modular_power_supply_cables_are_not_swappable/
We (Corsair) have a lot of interchangeable cables, at least among our newer models, although sadly the HX1000 and AX750's aren't. The Type 3 (generation 2) cables work on all the below:

AXi Series – 1500/1200/860/760 AX Series – 860/760 HX Series – 1050/850/750/650 HXi Series – 1000/850/750 TXM Series – 850/750/650/550 CXM Series – 750/600/500/430 CSM Series – 850/750/650/550/450 RM Series – 1000/850/750/650/550/450

you need Type 3 cable. Which would be: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/type-3-sleeved-black-pci-e-cable
