Would using wires other than the ones supplied be bad? I want to replace the 24 pin wire but I'm worried about compatibility.

Power cables are power cables. Shouldn't have any issues. I say shouldn't, but some companies can be picky.

Dont use anything unless you know for a fact it will work with the power supply youre using.

I would have to agree with the other answer and would not use a different wire unless you know for certain it is compatible. The best way is to check corsair website and see if they have the compatible wire.

I used bare wires. Sounds great. If you want to pin the wires go for it. Probably no difference, just takes a little more time.

of course you should upgrade your electrical wire, why not? Don't mess with a thinner than required electric wire.

Yessir, i recommend doing that over the connectors. They connectors can be a bit sketchy.

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

There should be no problem doing that. You should tin the wires, solder, to prevent them from unraveling.

Honestly it would be better to just buy a splitter and plug it in, instead of messing with the wiring. I'm sure if you have the ability to do it, then by all means do it. Personally, buying a splitter would be easier and safer

Not sure that I can add anything to this. The only thing I can say is to look at the way the wire was attached that you are replacing very carefully, and replace with new wire the same way. Look at other answers for details if you can not figure it out.

I used them to connect a 24v system drawing over an ampere. They work fine. I soldered the connections with heat shrink tubing over the splice. Take a look at http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm there is a calculator there that is a handy reference.

Yes, as long as you can use existing wires. make sure system is in test mode

U will be fine. I had two wires and connected them accordingly. I left the middle screw unattached. Mine is connected to security system box. All works just fine.

It will work with 24pin main power the 8 pin CPU power was hard to tell I think it comes as 4pin but there are 2 next to eachother. I was fidgeting through all the fans in the comp its hard to see.

It really doesn't matter. The 4 pin connectors are specifically designed to connect 4 wire jumpers that have a 4 pin plug on the end. There are 5 pin connectors for use with 5 wire jumpers that have a 5 pine plug on the end. They have no other use that I'm aware of. All the 4 and 5 wire jumpers come with a female plug on the end. Some come a removable 4 or 5 pin connector already installed. Some don't. The connectors are cheap so having extras around doesn't cost much. I have found that the 4 or 5 wire jumpers that come with a plug on one end, and bare (and tinned) wires on the other end, have very limited used. The wires are really too small to connect to a component that has terminal connections, but you can used the smallest (gray) wire nut to slice the fine jumper wires to a larger gauge wire, that can then be connected to a terminal. This method has proved to be the easiest and most reliable and also allows for future changes in wiring configuration. One thing I've learned is, once you start playing with LED lighting, changes/improvements are inevitable and mostly fun.

I had the same problem. It might work but also might burn out the printer because of the higher voltage rating but also the polarity. I would play it safe and buy the one made for it. That is why I bought the AD-24.

It is just a pin plug, so I would think you could use other brands -- just not sure why you would want to bother with another.

Don't know, there are 5 pins in the connector and not all manufacturers wire those pins (only 2 are needed) the same. Best route to get your question answered would be to call the vendor directly to field your question. Problems? Call 706.935.0065 and ask for Angela - let 'er know Nick sent you:)

Any wire will do. I ordered the gold pin connectors and found them difficult to keep attached. I used regular speaker wire and it works just fine.
