What's the best way to buy a NZXT PSU replacement cable?
Posted by hkkramer@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I recently bought a used custom PC and want to add a 14TB HDD. The PC only has one SATA power cable with two connectors: one of them powers the AIO cooler and the second powers the fans control hub. Since they're both important for cooling, I don't want to add a SATA Y splitter at either connection and allow the HDD to potentially overdraw power.
My PSU is a NZXT C850 Gold from 2022 - from the NZXT website, that means I'm looking for a NZXT C Series PA Model type SATA power cable. The only way I've found to buy it is through CableMod's custom configurator, but that would cost around $50 USD for just one cable and shipping. I can't find this cable on Amazon, eBay, Facebook... are there any other options?

This might be a bit of a longshot, but do you have the sellers contact info?
It says that PSU comes with 2x SATA cables. Maybe they have the other one lying around still they can give you.

Seller said they don't have any other cables. I'll see if NZXT can sell me one

That's too bad. He should've jammed all the spare cables inside the case for you when he sold it. But he may have thrown them out a long time ago.
Did he bundle up the extra cables somewhere in the back of the PC? Maybe in the unused HDD bays? that's usually where I jam them so I don't lose them.

Unfortunately not, first thing I did was open up the case and blow air in every corner

Damn. Sorry man.
Hopefully NZXT has a decent answer for you.
I only had to deal with them once about a case and their customer service was good. So hopefully they hook you up.
I remember when corsair hooked me up, they referred me to a page on their Corsair Amazon store page, so I had it in 24 hours.
Hopefully NZXT has something similar for you.

For $30 you can get a kit to make your own: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GCCZ9R34
NZXT has an official wiring guide: https://support.nzxt.com/hc/article_attachments/28706299061403

Haven't thought about this. I might try it out if this ends up being the cheapest option

This is goign to sound dumb, but do you still have the contact information from the seller?
That PSU would've come with 6 SATA cables (I'm assuming 3x cables with daisy chains equalling 6), they might have them in a box somewhere.
