Hey … Well slap my arse and call me Susan!!
Found out the issue. As I had been whining about every one of the 10 Â* 8 pin connectors from my PSU are all wired identically which is an issue as some 12v mobo ports want 12v all in row closest to licking clip, whilst others want it on the lower row.
So my issue was all the supplied 8 port cables was straight pass through with no cross over, this meant an conundrum.
So after all the stuffing around I discovered that two of my cables were actually from my spare set as I have 2 x ax1500i’s (I keep one as spare). Realising this I went digging around every Corsair 8 pin cable I could find. Turns out the CPU or EPS cable I had been using was from my spare set, which made me wonder if I had already modified that cable, so I found my default set of main cables, tested the connection and sure as hell by default the pins are swapped. It just so happened in a ridiculously likelihood I was unknowingly originally using cables at some stage (and lord knows why) had been changed from cross over to a straight through.
So question finally answered. Problem was just a typical stupid case of bad luck in unknowingly being confused as the PSU cables I was using had previously been modified and I was assuming they were still default and could not understand why plug and port Pinout didn’t match.
Hope that makes sense, and even better hope this helps some other poor person from losing their mind. Thanks for the help offered, much appreciated.Â*
