hi guys
on 24 pin cable of rog thor1200p there are some pins with 2 cable in 1 pin ,i need to know if those cable are both for voltage support or one of those are for sensors, there are double cables for 3.3v,5v,12v and earth,
and one cable is a bit narrower than others
is this necessary to have double cables there?
also im going to use a hand made cable so i need to know:
if there is no sensor, misplacing cables for example 12v with each other is a problem or not
i mean if we connect 1 pin from 24pin side of motherboard (12v) ,to any of 12v inputs from psu side, its that ok? or it has to be same as original cables.

the answers is yes.
not all psu are the same.
if the cables comes like, that is correct.
No need to worry about it.
the side of the psu is well label where to put the 24pin
you can
1. order the cables from a respectable place.
2. the cables are how it is for that unit and how it is build is the correct way. they are NOT pin to pin cables and how they are set is correct no need to make changes to it.

hi tnx for replay.
the yes answer is referring to which on? you mean both are for voltage? or there is sensor cable?
the point is the cable im speaking about isnt a legit one , its handmade without those double cables. and input sockets from psu side are misplaced,
for example 5vs from 24pin are still on 5vs in PSU side , but not in the same place as it is in orginal cables.

negative. the cables are as they are and please for that specific psu, IF YOU MAKE A CUSTOM CABLE stick with how they are. OR order a set custom from moddiy or cable mod.
stick on how they are since is how that psu supply power to the board and components.
BEFORE MAKING WORK PLEASE CONFIRM THIS DATA PRIOR START WORKING since can vary on units. just a tripple check. and also you can see some pins use 2 cables.
AND GET A POWER DOCTOR FROM THERMALTAKE TO VALIDATE THE PIN OUT BEFORE INSTALLING TO YOUR BOARD. Write out the actual and then the custom work.
a custum cables can run from 78usd to 100usd on stores i mentioned already and real work are most expensive.
protip: stick with how it is. not how you need to be.

tnx can you be more specific about your short answers 🙂 im a bit confused right now
i mean you say: the answer is yes answer to what is yes?
you say : negative the answer is negative for what?
i get the part that every single unit has its own placement
my main question is about those pins use 2 cable, some users mentioned one of those cables are sensor cables, thats my main question
the second question is that order in placement matter or not . and as i learned based on what you say, its unit dependent, every unit can vary in placement , which is a bit weird
08-02-2025 10:09 AM
this means build cables as they are.
1.negative. the cables are as they are and please for that specific psu, IF YOU MAKE A CUSTOM CABLE stick with how they are
2. yes : on 24 pin cable of rog thor1200p there are some pins with 2 cable in 1 pin
Check image i sent. PLEASE double check this with he cables and get more info on your specific unit.
if there are 2 cables on 1 pin on some pinouts, HAS TO BE AS IS. not as you need to be.
If you build a hand made cable, build it is it is not as you need to be. that is there for a reason. stick with it. alteration on this can cause harm, burn, fire or parts burn out. as i mentioned also, all psu are different, has different pin-outs and they are NOT compatible to each other they are NOT universal. they are as it is as psu push to the board current. please follow the recommendation so you do not lose your parts or worst.

tnx again for the replay now its clear,
the last question remain about 2 cables on 1 pin , is there a sensor cable? or both are for voltages?
there is nothing about that in the diagram you mentioned, but i saw some posts on internet , people say that one of those cables is sensor.

Hi @mohamad_re
Multiple wires are often used to split current load across wires. This reduces resistance and heat, and ensures more stable voltage delivery. If one of the wires is thinner, it’s likely a sense wire

thanks for replay
both of those wires that went to one pin are a bit thinner than others, probably both are 20awg,
yet im w8ting for an official answer from asus support, seems they are not willing to help that much :))
also i realized my topic is in wrong section if its possible move it to psu section maybe i get more replays on this
