BlueDog1210 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 When will Corsair develop a PSU that will support Nvidia's new 12 pin connector without the use of an adapter. If so what what PSUs will be upgraded? If I have to use an adapter I wish the adapter would join close to the PSU and not at the GPU connection! Also when will PSUs AX____i be back on the market?

LeDoyen Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 it's already out and has been for awhile, not long after the FE cards came out : https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/12-pin-GPU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920274#tab-overview plugs straight to the PSU, no adapters needed, works on PSUs using type 3 and type 4 cables, that is 99% of the lineup. As for the AX1600i i believe they were qualifying a replacement iC, for a chip they can't source anymore because of the current shortages. if i remember well it was supposed to be ready sometime in May.

BlueDog1210 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) it's already out and has been for awhile, not long after the FE cards came out : https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/12-pin-GPU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920274#tab-overview plugs straight to the PSU, no adapters needed, works on PSUs using type 3 and type 4 cables, that is 99% of the lineup. Ok that link looks like another cable, figured by now there would be a port for NVIDIA GPUs. No worries, just figured at the price point of AX1600i they would accommodate that. As for the AX1600i i believe they were qualifying a replacement iC, for a chip they can't source anymore because of the current shortages. if i remember well it was supposed to be ready sometime in May. May so I "assume" it will be out sooner rather than later! Edited May 7, 2021 by Technobeard merged posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, just figured at the price point of AX1600i they would accommodate that. the AX1600i uses type 3 or type 4 cables, so it works. too few people need that cable for them to bundle it in i imagine. at least that cable gets rid of the clutter of using an adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 looks like it may be a while to come, parts shortages are a real problem all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted May 15, 2021 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 15, 2021 any idea of this will be available in white? Never? With FE cards making up < 5% of the total market, that would be a money pit. Best to have a custom cable made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
