<p>ASRock PG-1600G PSU connector pinout for CMP 170HX cables, from the Discord #asrock PG-1600g thread (GlobalApathy, clee, Miséricorde) and related posts (Zombie, Far); sources: @globalapathy, @c133, @wakeupmbrc1, @zombielurker, @farawaythrower</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Status|Reported}} {{Cards|both}}<br /> <br /> The ASRock PG-1600G is a 1600 W ATX power supply, not a motherboard. It is on the platforms list because people pair it with CMP builds and because its modular connector pinout differs from cables made for other PSU brands. For power in general see [[Cooling and power]].<br /> <br /> == Modular connector pinout ==<br /> {{Status|Warning}} &#039;&#039;&#039;Meter the PSU side before plugging in any cable made for another PSU brand.&#039;&#039;&#039; Matching housings and keying do not mean a matching pinout, and a cable that puts +12 V where ground belongs will likely kill a card.<br /> <br /> GlobalApathy checked his PG-1600G with a multimeter and photos: the CPU/PCIe ports on the PSU panel use standard EPS 4+4 style housings, and on the panel the side opposite the latch clip is all +12 V and the clip side is all ground. {{Source|handle=globalapathy|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561559397220487248}}&lt;br /&gt;{{Source|handle=globalapathy|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561560011459797033}}&lt;br /&gt;{{Source|handle=globalapathy|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561560341823881216}} clee notes this looks reversed compared with the Corsair-compatible pinout he had, so a Corsair-type modular cable he was about to make would have fed +12 V into the ground pins. {{Source|handle=c133|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561558313962049606}}&lt;br /&gt;{{Source|handle=c133|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561559679505539163}}&lt;br /&gt;{{Source|handle=c133|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561560173322043403}} Miséricorde&#039;s pinout picture was of the GPU side; clee needed the PSU side, which is what a modular cable plugs into. {{Source|handle=wakeupmbrc1|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561560170192961608}}&lt;br /&gt;{{Source|handle=c133|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1561556993171259554/1561560254595076178}}<br /> <br /> GlobalApathy uses adapters with this PSU only because its 4+4 EPS cables have a double-wide clip that does not fit the card. {{Source|handle=globalapathy|date=2026-10-19|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1518692084729511967/1561556546167504907}} See [[Cooling and power]] for EPS cables.<br /> <br /> == Use in multi-card builds ==<br /> Zombie runs 4x RTX 3090 plus 2 CMPs with no power limits on two ASRock PG-1600 units (labelled gold, tested platinum by third parties), each on its own 20 A / 120 V branch; Far has three and agrees. {{Source|handle=zombielurker|date=2026-10-05|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1518692084729511967/1556775187351871549}}&lt;br /&gt;{{Source|handle=farawaythrower|date=2026-10-05|link=https://discord.com/channels/1518634379604136178/1518692084729511967/1556813582103220255}} Details and other PSU picks: [[Cooling and power]].<br /> <br /> == Related ==<br /> [[Cooling and power]], [[Platforms]].<br /> <br /> {{ImportFooter}}<br /> [[Category:Cooling and power]]</div>
