PSUs have Short-circuit and Reverse current protection by regulation. Although some PSUs may not be up to standard, it should be fine to try different cables. Good PSUs will spin the fan a bit then instantly turn off or not power on at all. It's up to you if you want to take the risk

There was a time before I knew this where I swapped out a fully modular 650W PSU and an 850W from the same brand, but they were different enough to completely fry my SSDs, and that was back when they were still $200 for 1TB. Luckily no fires or explosions though and the rest of the hardware was fine.

What are your thoughts on upgrading first? I have a rx5700xt and 3600x im a 1080p gamer and mostly go for stunning visuals than fps as long as I have 80fps I’m fine. Love your vids man keep up the amazing info and reliable news❤

@imtherealvict1m 5 ай бұрын

since you have a ryzen 5 3600x +5700xt i’d be more inclined to tell you to upgrade cpu first, your cpu is already currently too weak for your gpu so there would be 0 point in upgrading your gpu, depending on how much money you have to spend i’d look at possibly buying an am5 ryzen cpu as this is the best upgrade path as its a brand new cpu socket and is guaranteed to be supported for an amount of time, but if your looking for a cheaper upgrade you can always just upgrade to a ryzen 5000 series cpu

@AlexHusTech 5 ай бұрын

If you want stunning visuals you want the highest presets, or texture quality, this means more VRAM, I would upgrade to a 6700XT, this should be sufficient for a 3600X

Corsairs modular psu cables are designed to be used interchangably. To a degree at least. Like for modern ones. Ones from 10+ yrs ago i wouldnt lol but basically the "type" will be labeled such as type 4 and as long as the 24 pin on the psu you are using the cables for is also a corsair rm or rmx or rme is also a type 4 then the rest of the cables r safe. Ive done my research on this and corsair themselves say all this. I used my old cables on my new psu and used the new cables from the psu on my old psu for my wifes pc lol theyre both working. I did swap out the gpu cable tho. Which from what i could had a different pinout so could be good i did that lol i might have also just counted the wrong end idk haha

Overall, the cables that connect to your PSU are not standardized and are ordered differently, depending on which one you have and brand. On the other hand extensions are standardized and are a straight through connections.

650e psu is on the low side. Get about 800 above since you are using high end parts. 80 series should be enough for your gaming needs paired with that CPU.
