Question Enermax Infiniti 650W Sata / molex modular cables replacement? Are there some O.E.M not original compatible cables, or some other vendor?

[ruthan]

Hello,
im lookting for power cables for Enermax Infiniti 650W PSU ( http://www.enermax.com/files/ProductFile_eng/PF_File/121.pdf ) , its now ~10 years old, i received old power psu, without half of cables, im missing 4 of them.

I need replacement for power cables (3x Sata or 3x molex) - black ones modular connectors, i tried to find some compatible cable on eBay, but this 5 pin design is pretty rare, i didnt find any cable which would need lots of modding,
maybe some builder will if cables from other vendor are compatible?
I contacted Enermax, its more than week and nothing, i know, i know holidays.. but its nice to have more possibilities.. there is link for local distributor, but he have only 1 cable replacement for all Enermax supplies.. i contacted him too,
but i thing that there is big hope..

Here are not original cables:
http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_1&lv0=1&lv1=31&no=241

But from connector shape is looks that there could be compatibile:
8 Pin red: EMC024-F - 1 x 6 + 2P (8P) PCI-E 2.0 (50cm)
8 pin red: EMC025-F - 2 x 6 + 2P (8P) PCI-E 2.0(50/65cm)
6 pin EMC026-F: 4 x 4P Molex + 1 x FDD (50/65/80/95/110cm)
6 pin EMC027-F: 3 x SATA (50/65/80cm)
6 pin EMC028-F: 2 x SATA (50/65cm)

Original cables names are in original datasheet:
http://www.enermax.com/files/ProductFile_eng/PF_File/121.pdf
EMC002 - 3x 4P Molex
EMC001 - 3x Sata

It looks nice at least red one 6 pin PEG cables are generic, i already ordered some sample for testing.

Im in Europe (czech republic), if someone have some spare cables for reasonable price, or can make them..

It's junk. Sell it for scrap metal. Really.

Oh, in that case, maybe they have to make things last longer over there. But I'm doubtful that you will get anything resembling quality power from a 10-year-old PSU. Unless you re-cap the whole thing.

I know that is old but, review was good and its not noisy..

i have a 720w enermax infinity, it still works fine. enermax was one of the early adopters of the 80plus standard along with the early ones to pay Ultra's fee for use of their eventually rejected modular cable patent. jonnyGuru reviewed them and gave them a pretty high score at the time. the only thing better were the newly introduced seasonic golds.

assuming the op's unit wasnt abused it should be fine. ideally he didnt pay much if anything for it but it should work.

finding the 5 pin cable will be much harder. the 5 pin was a hedge on future power demands vs only needing 4 pins, so the extra pin was supposedly unused. the keying of the plug may be custom so even if you know how the molex/sata is wired custom rigging a replacement will be harder without a plug that will fit in the socket. ebay seems like the only option. there are some listings for adapters for "enermax 5pin"

I checked them, but i found only wrong flat 5 pins connector in row..

For the price you are going to spend on cables, you will be able to buy a better power supply. There are so many deals out there for power supplies, that after mail in rebates you are barely paying anything.

If that is your psu, I have a feeling you aren't running a top end setup (no offense). So you will probably be able to get a lower end psu and be just fine.

New info:
PCI-E cable i found compatible ones on eBay for 3 Euro:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-PCI-Mo...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Molex / Sata - nothing so far, Enermax is still have them, but there are expensive 10/12 Euro for one.. so there is solution, but its not cheap.

I need at least two of them so its 25 Euro, when i sell this old PSU i can get, i guess 20 Euro, is there new better PSU for 50 Euro?

thats a tough call, id say money put to a new psu is better spent. If you want to wire it up your self that sounds free. Putting more than 15$ for the two cables and just running splitttters is what i would do if i had no other choice. i have a strong feeling there is not a local newegg you can shop @ and that all the stores will charge 50 for a 450watt budget model.
