Hello guys, could you help me to find out if i can use these VGA GQ PSU cables from 850GQ PSU to power my 3080 along with my 650GM PSU?
 
In the compatibility tab it says nothing about these cables

    Straight from the compatibility page found here: https://www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?f=59698
     
    "Please note that all GQ power supplies are not cross-compatible with any other cable sets."
     
    I wouldn't mix them.

    Thanks for your reply, but what i found is that if you go to a product page of 850GQ PSU you can find compatible cables down bellow and if you press on any PCIe cable listed you can find 650GM in compatibility too... Strange

    While all the cables in the cable 'set' are not compatible/interchangeable, some individual cables are.

    The PCIe Cable is compatible/interchangeable between an 850GQ and a 650GM..You're good to go there
     
    You can Contact EVGA to verify or check the pinout power and ground terminals yourself..Pinout is shown as if you are looking into the connector end..The 'Sense' terminals are ground terminals.

    Is it the same cable that i showed with pictures tho? The one from GM650 has a metal net on and the one from 850GQ hasn't. I thought it might be somehow different but since it shows "compatible" for the one that you linked i'm curious if it's the same cable but without sleeves
    p.s. Don't want to burn my 3080 since it's not easy to get

    They're pinned/electrically the same and will work.
