Hello 
 
I currently have an EVGA SuperNova 220-G2-XR 80 Plus Gold 850W power supply running my PC and
want to upgrade to the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5, 80 Plus Gold 1000W.
 
Can I just swap out the G2 850 for the G5 1000 and use the existing cables from the 850?
 
Thanks, Jaime G

    I am not trying to sell you cables...

    https://www.evga.com/prod...aspx?pn=100-G2-06KG-B9

    You can see the compatible cables it the header of the link above.

    The G2 and the G5 show as compatible :-)

    Just want to warn the newer people to computing that mixing cables from the same or different psu's will kill your computer!
    I didn't know this and killed a GPU, 3 hard drives and a motherboard by mixing up a cable from a different psu (the cpu, memory was fine).
    I used a cable from a different psu and plugged into my GPU and blow every thing up that way.
     
    If you can't find a compatibility chart (as above) use a Ohm meter to check out that pin 1 goes to pin 1 on both ends of the cable and do this for ALL the pins as some times they switch pin-outs and what was a 5 volt pin could be a 12 volt pin on a different cable (or a ground).
     
    That was an expensive lesson learned the hard way.

    Thanks for the replies.
     
    If you look at the picture you will see my dilemma. I really only need to re-use these two cables. The one on the left is a 2x2 eatx12v and the one to the right of it is a 2x4 eatx12v.
    Admittedly it's a tight fit with the rad and fans, I was just hoping to not have to tear down my PC to change them is all. The rest of the cables I can change without too much hassle.
     
    Thanks,
    Jaime G

    If the pinouts are the same as the original cables your good to go.

    I decided to bite the bullet and do it the right way. It wasn't too bad, just had to slide the rad over an inch and was able to get at the two CPU cables.
     
    All done and working great
