So I recently purchased a cable mod 12vpwhr pcie cable for my 1200 Supernova P3 psu
This cable is a 16 pin to quad 8 pin. It plugs directly into the psu from the gpu.
I just wanna make sure I have the correct cable and avoid frying my psu or anything else.
Anyone have any experience with these cables or with this one specifically.
I went on there compatibility list and when you click on the supernova p3 1200 this is the on the page it takes you to.
But it does not say P3 on the product packaging
Any help is extremely appreciated as I’d like to keep the look of my pc clean and avoid using the supplied cable.

    Welcome to the EVGA forums & congrats on your first thread
     
    OK, you did not list the part number of the cable you received & there are many different cables; So ...........
     
    I would email CableMod & ask if their product that you received is indeed compatible with that specific PSU
     
    the other choice you would have is finding the 16 pin pin out & then with a voltmeter confirm the voltage & ground connection

    This is the reply I got from cablemod
    One of my concerns is the part that plugs into the psu directly
    The 4x8 pcie plugs have 8 pins but only 6 are wired

    Response from cablemod
    Our cable wiring system may be slightly different from the OEM cables, but each cable has been tested prior to shipping, so if you are using the correct hardware with the correct cable series - you have nothing to worry about.

    All three versions of our 12VHPWR cables (16 Pin to 2x8, 3x8, and 4x8) work with any RTX4.0 card delivering up to 600W of power. It only depends on your PSU plug availability, as you must plug in all 8 Pin cables into the PSU (not 2/3 or 2/4, or 3/4) in order for the cable to work properly. The reason we offer all of these is for users who want extra redundancy for the power being supplied to their GPU.

    Kind regards,
    Sasa

    You haven't provided a link or a part number.

    Are you sure that the cable you bought is designed to plug directly into the power supply? Does it say that specifically?
    It may be designed to plug into EVGA's existing 8-pin cables as a pretty extension where you hide EVGA's 8-pin cables behind the motherboard tray or in the bottom of your computer case.

    OK, still clear as MUD.............. the part linked does NOT list the P3 PSU (as you noted earlier)
     
    The logic of the
    "NOTE: Please check our Compatibility List for your PSU model before purchasing."
     
    https://store.cablemod.com/compatibility/
     
     
    --->>> is not all that helpful as actual part numbers are not used in the links ... though you can find the part you purchased, on that page
     
     
    That is why earlier I said, to ask the Vendor for information

    (see CableMod information) "Should you have any questions, feel free to contact our Support Team."
     
    The "answer" that you posted in Post #3 above, that CableMod replied to your request ... well this sums it up for technical information --->
     
    WE have no way of knowing if the Mfg has accurate information on their site about their Product .. hey, mistakes can happen
     
     
    Maybe ask EVGA if the 1200W P2 PSU & 1200W P3 ........ PSUs have the same pinout for the PCIe outputs
     
     
     
      email Support@EVGA.com with your questions, Pinout information between the two designs P2 & P3 1200W PSU .... "PCIe outputs pinout"
     
    I would highly doubt that EVGA will "guarantee another companies product as compatible" .... & for obvious reasons,

     
    However if the P2 & P3 1200 watt PSU have the same PCIe output "pinout" then that is about as good as it gets, without doing a full manual check of the pinout on the device (12 pin) end after connecting the cable, for proper Voltage & ground locations

     
    Hope this Helps
