    8-pin PCI-E Cable

    I recently purchased 2 Corsair 520HX psu's. One of them has 2 X 8-pin (6+2) PCI-E cables but the other only has 2 X 6-pin PCI-E cables. At the moment I have stolen one from the other but I want to go SLI and require another one.

    Thanks. There's no way I'm paying for postage for Corsairs error. The 8-pin PCI-E shoud have been included in the package like it was in the other, supposedly, identical package. I'll return it to Scan if I have to.

    Re: 8-pin PCI-E Cable

    the first batches of HX520/HX620 only shipped with two 6pin PCI-E cables, newer batches include the 6+2pin PCI-E cables, so its not really Corsairs error, rather you just received a PSU from an older batch.

    My HX620 is from Jan, only has two 6pin cables

    SCAN should fix you right up with the cables. As noted, this is not an error. We began including the 8pin cables when the video cards with 8 pin connectors were released.

    Re: 8-pin PCI-E Cable

    I emailed Corsiar to obtain a couple 8 pin PCI-Express power adapter & got the shock of my life when I found out the postage cost. are here any retailers in the UK that can provide me the adapters?

    And when are Corsair going to improve their nearly non existent customer services for the European customers?
