Do fully modular PSU come with all cables?

Yes. Every modular power supply I’ve ever purchased has included a variety of cables, all that you could possibly need in a reasonable PC build (even in some unreasonable ones, like my scrypt coin mining rigs, which needed way more power connections than any normal PC should).

Are all PSU modular cables the same?

While modular cables have the ability to share the same connectors, the wiring configurations may differ from one power supply to another. For reference, all pinouts are being viewed from where the wires enter the connectors.

What cables does a fully modular PSU come with?

All psus, modular or not will have a different number of cables. But it will come with all the cables it can handle.

Do fully modular come with cables?

Fully Modular. The main difference between the different types of PSUs lies in how they treat their cabling. Non-modular power supplies have all cables permanently attached. And fully modular power supplies, as the term suggests, come with no cables attached.

Are modular cables universal?

There is no universal standard for modular PSU output cables.

Is full modular PSU good?

In many cases, a modular PSU is ideal. Semi-modular PSUs strike a balance between the two: some cables (usually the motherboard and CPU cables) are permanently attached, while other cables (PCIe, SATA and Molex) are detachable. Modular PSUs have a major advantage when it comes to cable management.

Are PSU cables universal?

Are Bronze PSU bad?

80+ Bronze rated PSUs have been one of the most popular power supplies for consumer grade builds. They are usually very affordable and have a long lifetime. They are still pretty reliable (at least for mainstream PCs).

What is the difference between modular and non-modular PSUs?

Modular vs Non-Modular PSUs: Modularity to the Rescue. A modular power supply solves the problem of having excess cables in your case that will not be used in your system and are, therefore, just taking up space. There are two types of modular power supplies: Fully modular PSUs. Semi-modular PSUs.

What is a fully modular power supply?

A fully modular PSU is exactly what you think it is: every cable on the power supply can be removed. In a fully modular power supply, no cables come pre-connected giving you full control over your PSU’s cables.

What is the standard size of a PSU side connector?

What isn’t standardized, however, is the layout of the PSU-side modular cable headers. Some vendors might use 6-pin connectors for their PSU-side peripheral headers (identical to what’s found on PCI-e cables, because it saves cost), others will opt instead for a wide-format pin-out for the same.

Should you detach unused power cables from a modular power supply?

By detaching unused power cables from a modular power supply, you will typically end up having three to four less cables within your computer case. That’s at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) less cables snaking inside your case and hiding in your drive bays.
