Seems like a super basic question, but after searching I can't find a definitive answer.
 
If they all aren't, are any of them?
 
Thanks,
Mike

    Not recommended.  One very noticeable difference is that the SATA pinout is reversed, which will most likely kill anything you plug into it.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  It appears the GQ isn't listed in that FAQ anywhere.
     
    Are the pinouts from the PSU side readily published so I can look?

    Are YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME EVGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just found out the hard way! Smoked a $300 RGB Corsair Commander pro setup! Tell me how could a company switch the pinout of a power supply / cable yet it still plugs into the G3 or GQ Powersupply! Yes I have both power supply's sitting here and had an extra sata cable from the G3 that I plugged into the GC and Poof SMOKE!

    As I just stated in the other thread, EVGA doesn’t make power supplies, they sell them. The power supplies are made by an OEM and labeled for EVGA.
