So a modular PSU.
But instead of standardising cable connections & wiring across the industry, they made a connection plate thing.
Which is pretty much useless. Just go with a detachable cables one, reattaching cables should be easy enough to a new unit in case of replacement. No need to retire anything in both cases ๐คท
Unless, for whatever reason, the pinout on the new unit is different from the old unit.
I almost fried my PC with that, before I paused and beeped the new and old cables out and realised they were wired differently.
