Hey all,
 
I've recently given my younger brother my old 2070s, upgrading from his 1060 6gb. The problem is he only has 1 8pin cable from the PSU (EVGA 550 G2) so I'm trying to find him a second cable for this new GPU.
I've seen several cables that show cross compatibility between the G2 and G3 so my question is: will Product W001-00-000147 which only shows G3 in the compatibility section be viable?
 
Thanks for your time!

    Welcome to the EVGA Forums & congrats on your first thread
     
     
     I am not sure, off the top of my head ...
     
    DO NOT use it unless it is confirmed Compatible
     
    ---> You can reach out to EVGA CS during normal business hours & Times are PST


     
    reason:  Any PSU can  (and Mand do) have a - "custom pinout on the PSU side" --- then the wire harness is customized -- so the device end has the Correct pinout
     
    FAQ # 59698  Which EVGA Modular Cables are compatible with my PSU?
     
    (excerpt 1)
    "Most power supplies share compatibility with PCIe cables, but power supplies do not necessarily share compatibility across SATA and 4pin molex peripheral cables and can damage devices connected to such a cable.  If you eventually replace your compatible power supply with another power supply, make sure that the power supply is compatible with the same cable set, or we strongly recommend to discontinue using the Individually Sleeved Cable set."
     
     (excerpt 2)
     
    "Beginning with the EVGA G3 Power Supplies, all subsequent fully-modular power supplies began using the same modular cable pinout for improved compatibility.  However, many other currently-sold EVGA power supplies use different modular cable pinouts, and thus it is necessary to always check for compatibility."

    The VGA cables from the G2/G3 are pinned the same and will work with each other.
