My system currently uses a EVGA 650 G3 PSU, all cables routed neatly.
I took advantage of the EVGA weekend sale price for a EVGA 1000 G3.
The 1000 G3 comes with cables that includes capacitors. I do not believe the 650 G3 cables have those capacitors installed.
 
Question 1 - should I remove the 650 G3 cables and replace with the 1000 G3 cables when I swap out the PSU? (please elaborate if possible)
Question 2 - what benefits come with the capacitors installed in the cables?
Question 3 - what damage may occur if the 650 G3 cables are used with the 1000 G3 PSU?
 
Thank you

    Q1 = Yes
    Q3 = Really BAD things - SMOKE =
     
    Always use the cables that come with the PSU ---> They are Not always interchangeable
     
    The PSU modular Outputs are NOT guaranteed to be wired the same
     
    Only the ends that connect to your hardware are Standardized.
     
    So unless you confirm the pin-out .......

    thanks Cool GTX, I will be pulling all the 650 G3 cables and using the 1000 G3 cables as advised.
     
    It is hard to put the smoke back in once it escapes....
     
    Appreciate the wisdom!

    hmm so they changed how the psu's were wired in between q1 and q3? or is q1&q3 stand for something else.
