Hello world!

I’ve been working on an SFF NR200P build using a Nitro+ 7900XTX. I managed to make things fit, but after setting up the PSU, my heart sank as I realized I only had 2/3 PCI-E connectors needed. Even though the Toughpower SFX only comes with one cable with two daisy-chained 6+2 connectors, it has room for three connectors…

My first thought on the matter was for this to be an excuse to buy a custom Cable Mod kit and make things look clean, but I was unfortunately met with disappointment as Cable Mod doesn’t show any support for the Thermaltake Toughpower SFX; actually, it doesn’t even show the SFX at all on the list. This trend continued as I could not find a single mention of 3rd party cables made for my power supply. I only find Thermaltake power-supply cables made for the GF1, GF3, or PF1, even though the SFX is a popular PSU with 3k+ ratings on Amazon.

The only thing I’ve found at this point is a random Amazon PCI-E cable that mentions support for my PSU, but as I read the reviews, a user said the Pin-outs don’t support what they claim. I don’t trust this product, even though the reviews are good.

So now to my question: while I know it’s not a good idea to run PSU cables not made for your power supply, I need one and can’t find anything. From what I can tell, all Thermal take power supplies use the same pin-outs for PCI-E. Can anyone help with this as I’m out of ideas.

tl;dr I’m wondering if the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 has the same pin-outs as the Toughpower SFX to order A PCI 6+2 cable.
