Forget it! I am aware of the wiring and made it clear in my initial response to your shallow answer. If you can not even point out the elephant in the room that the polarity is switched, why bother respond?

@Nepaluz Yes, the wires are in different places, I think I've made that abundantly clear! But it isn't a polarity reversal, the ground is still the ground, the +12V is still the +12V. It's just where they happen to be in the connector that changes.

Just wanted to confirm for future readers, Tom is correct. The polarity is not switched. It's still +12V, the pins are just in a different location. As an example, I have a modular PSU with multiple 8-pin ports where optional cables can be plugged in for EPS12V, PCIe 8-pin and PCIe 6-pin plugs. The pinout is the same on the PSU side for all of the 12V cable types. Just the wiring order at the device end is different.
