PCIe and drive connectors for a be quiet! BN302 System Power 9 600W
I need to know what both the connectors are for this power supply, and if possible what to search for when I am looking up cables.
The cables from be quiet! are in the links below, however they are out of stock when I try to order them.
You're viewing a single thread.
Did your PSU not come with cables? General wisdom is to use the cables that came with your PSU. If you're trying to get a certain look, only order from be quiet! for your model.
The cables are molex terminated, and they go from 12pin to 6+2 (often with a second daisy chain for extra power). The reason you can't swap cables is some of those 12 pins will double up in the 6+2, and different manufacturers may have their pinout different from others. If your goal is to have prettier cables, getting a 12 pin or 8 pin extender with the pretty wires should be safe.
The SATA power connectors should be fairly universal, since SATA is mature and effectively EoL in consumer electronics, but I wouldn't deviate from the recommended wisdom.
The PSU is currently being shipped, and the Amazon listing doesn't say whether those ones are included or not, so I wasn't sure (it only specifies the braided cables that are built in I think, which obviously). I can't seem to find the be quiet! cables anywhere but Amazon, and after purchasing them I got a message from the seller stating they were sold out.
I had not considered the cables would come with the PSU, however if they do, then I suppose I won't have any issues.
Edit: Nevermind. I looked at the Amazon listing again, and one of the images included is a diagram showing the cables that are included... duh, but I wish it was also included in the description...
That's good. It would be extremely strange for a new PSU not to come with cables, modular or not. Probably why there's barely a mention of them.
