Can I Use a Different PCI-e Cable for My FSP Hydro G Pro PSU?

Asked By TechieNinja42 On

I have an FSP Hydro G Pro power supply, but I lost one of the PCIe 8-pin cables needed for my graphics card (a 5070ti). I found a replacement cable on Amazon, but it only lists compatibility for Asus, EVGA, and Seasonic, not for FSP. The pin layout looks the same, but I'm wondering whether there are other factors to consider. I really don't want to risk damaging my GPU with the wrong cable. Any advice?

Before considering a different cable, make sure to check which model of Hydro G Pro you have. The connectors may differ between models, and even if they look similar, the wiring could be different. Using the wrong cable might damage your setup.

I'd advise against using that cable. FSP cables aren't interchangeable like some other brands, and they have different pinouts that can lead to issues. It's best to reach out to FSP directly for a proper replacement cable.
