    Even if you buy the same model PSU, you’re taking a huge risk if you don’t verify that the new unit has the same pinout as the old one. Manufacturers have been known to change pinout without revising the model number of name of the PSU.

    Always use the cables that came with your PSU if you don’t have a multimeter to verify that old and new cables are identical.

      That happens? Even with better quality PSUs? That’s a really stupid. But still, the proposed solution has the same problem, doesn’t it? In both cases they can stick with same pinout or not. 🤷
