Hi , im really confused, i am replacing the evga nex 650g i my system as its been cutting it fine power draw wise for a while, now im super confused, the nex had a 24pin to 24 pin for the eatxpwr, but the g3 850 that is replacing it the same cable is 24 pin one side but like 27 the other with a split connector one end with 17 pins on one plug and ten on the other with the normal 24 the other end.

This is the first time i have come across this, what should i do? There is no 24 to 24 pin cable in the box. Am i missing something? :)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, thanks for the reply i thought so, but did not fancy just plugging in and hoping.

So even though there is more pins one end it does not matter? What is the reason for this? It is the first time i have come across this.

1) stop people from making a mistake - only fits in the PSU pins - out & not MB
2) could lower the load on any one pin on the PSU output
