Aurora R10, 850W PSU upgrade, use current cabling?
I’m looking to upgrade my power supply on my aurora r10 from my current 550W to the 850W upgrade. I was wondering if i could re use my current cables form my power supply or if i need to get new ones and if so which ones from the selection, as they are a bit expensive. Thanks.

For modular power supply, they do not share universal pin-out sockets from the PSU. Therefore, the modular cables are not interchangeable. All of the retail power supplies come with cables. Why taking the risk of using the old set.

The Dell stock 550w psu such as D550EGM-00 Dell YXK65 is not modular psu. The cables are not detachable so I don’t understand why OP would want to reuse the current cables?![](https://www.dell.com/community/assets/community/687062f5-603c-4f5f-ab9d-31aa7cacb376/IMG_0400-d0ffdcc0-71fe-4e2b-8e69-3992b1333e29-1826219894.jpeg)

Re:. I was wondering if i could re use my current cables form my power supply or if i need to get new ones and if so which ones from the selection
as mentioned in previous reply, none of the 550w psu cable is reusable as they are all non-modular. When OP upgrades to Dell 850w D850EF-00 or HU850EF-00 modular psu, ideally the whole set of Dell cables should be acquired because if individual missing cable needs to be ordered again in the future it costs more. If OP want to choose selectively then the must to have cables are 24 pin ATX cable, the 8 pin cpu power cable, two 6+2 pin PCIe power cable, and sata power cable.
cable set example (R# refers to port on psu side)
(2) JX68G for R3 & R4 - 6+2 PCI-E Cable 14"
(2) G9Y40 for R5 & R6 - 6+2 PCI-E Cable 10"
(1) MD63V for R7 - 8-pin
(1) GP6MV for R9 - 4-pin 17"
(1) G2GX9 for R10 - Angled Dual SATA 16"
(1) 4NT8R for R12 - HDD (Dual SATA) + ODD (miniSATA) 7.5"
(1) 654MT for R13/14/15/16 ATX connectors 9"

For pricing comparison, the better value is Dell 1000w PSU. Many OEM open box (assuming w/cables) units being advertised on the bay, starting at $70 USD.
The main point is still stay, modular cables can be different from brands to brands, models to models. For safety, do not use existing cables for a new, different PSU.
