Corsair RM1000 W per cable

[vortexz]

Hello.I have 1 RM1000 with 2x6 PCI-Ecables with extension powering 1 SP20
How much W is it safe to pull per cable with RM1000 ? 1 cable is powering 2 PCI-E SLOTS on the SP20 .
Is it ok if it pulls 160 W on each slot, total of 320 W per cable ?

[vortexz]

right now I am drawing 160 W per slot, meaning 320 W per cable and cables are not hot, just a tiny bit warm
Do you think it would be safe to pull more per cable ?

Your PSU has 8 PCIe connectors. Why are you only saying 2?

[vortexz]

it has 4+4
I have 2+2 left, other 2 I lost them.

You can not use EPS 4 + 4.

For each 6+2 PCIE cable the maximum load is 360 watt(10 ampere per wire). If you used maximum capability then the cable will be warm or hot.

If think RM1000 comes with 16AWG pcie cables. You can load without problems.

As long as you don't exceed the current ratings on the cable's pin sockets, which will probably fail long before 16AWG wire would. Depending on if they're standard or high-spec pins, probably good for around 9 or 12 amps.
