    NO !  (unless)

    You do not have to use an EVGA cable ---> however --->   The PSU side of Cable MUST be wired Correctly for your specific PSU
     
    All PSU outputs are NOT wired the same, you will cause Damage to your PC if wrong cable is used
     
    Only the device side is wired to an industry standard - side that connects to MB, GPU, drive ...........

    The PERIF plug on your AC is a 6 pins male plug so if the cable in the picture is a 6 pins female plug it should work without any problems.
     
    If you have SATA cables you can also use a SATA to molex adapter to avoid buying a molex cable:

    your confusing me man.....
     
    i have no perif1 wire at all. i have 2 fans that are molex male that need to be connected to the psu by this wire

     
    but i cant find one online besides one for a EVGA superNOVA NEX750G1  while mine is a EVGA superNOVA NEX750B will this wire still work if i purchase one from cablemod.

    What i mean is: do you already have a cable like this (SATA):
     

    If you do then you dont have to buy another cord, you can use the one you already have and use an adapter like this one https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-LP4SATAFM12-12-Inch-Molex-Adapter/dp/B00GK8SYCW that you can plug on one of the 3 SATA connectors so you get molex connectors for your fan instead.

    Why are we having two threads open for the same thing?
