A popular modification for upgrading your PC's aesthetics is custom power cables.  Depending on the model of your power supply however, certain cables may not be inter-compatible with one another.  NZXT Power Supplies can be grouped into three groups:

* C1000 (2019) Model was exclusively sold as part of NZXT Gaming PCs in 2019 & 2020.
** Bronze PSUs are semi-modular and do not use a full set of PSU cables.  These models will exclude the 24-pin ATX Power.
*** C750 SFF included only with the H1 V2 case.

How do I know which model I have?

The best way to identify the exact model of PSU you have is to check the model sticker on the outside of the power supply.  The first two letters will help identify if you have an NP- or PA- model PSU.

Can I use the same cables for PA- and NP- Power Supplies?

Please do not attempt to use 1st generation compatible cables (NP-) with 2nd generation (PA-) PSUs or vice-versa.  These cables are not pin-compatible and the use of 1st generation cables with a 2nd generation PSU can result in damage to your system, fire, or severe injury.

What third-party cable replacements are compatible with my PSU?

Third-party cable replacements (aka custom cables) are a popular option used by many builders to add a personal expression in a build and are a great way to tie a system's aesthetics together.  These can come in a variety of styles and materials with the most common being individually sleeved paracord or nylon cables which may be dyed to match a certain color profile.

NP-model PSUs were manufactured in partnership with Seasonic and include the C and E series released throughout 2019.  These PSUs are compatible with cable kits for the Seasonic Focus GX series of power supplies.

PA-model PSUs fall into two groups including the standard C Series (Group 1) as well as the Gold Core series (Group 2).  These two groups are not inter-compatible with each other and will use different cable kits.  We currently do not have a list of cables that are cross-compatible with either PA-Model group.

A more compatible alternative for cable replacements are cable extensions which connect to the end of an already provided PSU cable to add an extra length of cable.  These extensions give the look of custom cables but have greater compatibility as they are based on the ATX standard and therefore will be compatible with most if not all PSU cables.

Is it safe to use third-party cable replacements or extensions?

So long as compatible cables are used, there should be little to no risk in using third-party cable replacements with most power supplies, however due to the tolerances in manufacturing these cables may not be of the same quality as the official cables included with your PSU.

Are third-party cable replacements or extensions covered under the NZXT warranty?

Due to varying quality control practices used by third-party cable manufacturers, NZXT's warranty does not cover issues caused by third-party cable replacements or extensions.  If you experience an issue caused by a third-party replacement or extension, please reach out to the manufacturer of the cable/extension for further assistance.

Does NZXT offer first-party sleeved cables?

At this time, NZXT does not offer official first-party sleeved cables for the C and E series power supplies.

Does NZXT provide a pinout for their PSUs?

Currently we only offer a pinout for the newer PA-model (Group 1) and PA-model (Group 2) power supplies included in the product manual.  You can find both located below.
