Hello all, I have a simple question regarding powering a GPU that requires a Molex adapter.

The PSU model is a Corsair CX500M.

I've received a cable from china with these connections:

and here is the official pinout:

As I understand the 5V connections is missing, how problematic can it be if I use this cable?

I've asked for a refund due to a different pinout but the seller told me that "This was tested with corsair and it works fine"...

Thanks in advance,
Best regards.

Oh wait.

You are saying that it’s a modular psu

And that’s the psu side?

Okay I think I get it.

Plug it in and use a volt meter to see if it is putting out correctly.

You reallllly gotta be careful with these, mfgs haven’t standardized the psu side and it can lead to tears.

Alway confirm with a volt meter

If it’s wrong someone here can point you in the direction of the pin removal tool.

Which ai am also interested in as I have some. Of mine that need corrected also

Hi, yes I just took a photo at the end of the cable and inverted it horizontally so it matches the position of the 6-pin socket in the actual PSU.

Unfortunately I don't have a multi-meter right now but eventually I'll measure it 😀

I'm just wondering if all the pins are routed properly... will the GPU work without the 5V wired?

Best regards
