Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I’ve never seen before.

The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can’t un-entangle without popping an end piece off

Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

    You should be able to use a paper clip or staple to pop the pins out of the connector so that you can detangle that cable. There are guides on YouTube that can show you how. Takes seconds to do and you can pop the pins right back in when you’re done.

      Thanks, I might do that. Didn’t think it would be that easy.

      Seems easier than Asus product support which is just a giant train of text-laden webpages bragging about themselves and nothing really helpful in getting support. Have to create an account just to contact live support online instead of calling…

      Kind of want them to send me a new one though so it costs them something and their hostile website design fails to save them money lol
