post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Recently I got a psu and the 4 pin or 8 pin is missing. Is it possible to use the pci-e (6pin) to power the cpu?

It is a corsair ax1200. The psu is supposed to come with 6 pci-e but came with 8 instead. They left out the 2 cpu 4 pins.

Call Corsair and tell them to send you a new set of cables.

How hard is it for you to request new cables for the PSU?

Just go e-mail Corsair, They WILL send you new cables.

Please say you are just doing this until Corsair sends you the cables they supposedly left out?
