No you will want to go trade it in for one with 4 pcie cables. You seem to be sticking with Corsair brand.  If you are really wanting that brand I suggest the RM1000.  You will have zero issues using it.

When your looking at pci-e cables they most likely will list each plug.   So if you sort by ones with 4, you are going to get a lot of PSU's with 4 plugs but being powered by 2 cables.
I returned the PSU and got the GX1050 instead, for the same price. The Cougar has 4 separate cables and the S5 is whizzing away as I type this  Grin

It's running at 49 degress on stock, but I'm going to change it and add 2 Corsair SP120's I also bought...Will be interesting to see how much quieter it is, but also how much hotter it will be without stock.

Now I just need to figure out what all those numbers mean on the S5 dashboard!

Edit - I noticed for the past 5 or so minutes it's actually been mining at around 1300 GH/S. Thought it was odd considering it's running stock..
