  1. still 0 stock in the uk/eu e.g. there has never been any Im just going to order one for a future card but if i was ordering one on release date i would be upset with corsair now
  2. Also its good to see a cable with the sense pins for 600w but you didnt answer my question about my current cable is it usable with xxx watt limit (xxx insert answer here)
  3. I realise that my HX1500i is Type4 so it will be fine but whats with (and is compatible with all of our type-4 PSUs.) So going by that statment HX1200i's being Type-3 wouldnt work.. The only difference between Type 3 and Type 4 cables is the pinout of the 24-pin ATX cable; all other cables (SATA, PCIe, etc) are the same.
  4. My Current PC is HX1500i with corsair 12-pin GPU Power Cable RTX 3090 FE 12900K Will the Corsair 12-pin GPU Power Cable work with the RTX 4090 if so what is is spec'd upto as alot of 4090's are going to come with 600w secondary bios's also will you be releasing a 12VHPWR cable for current gen PSU's? Corsair need to put a statment out on what the current 12-pin GPU Power Cable is rated upto as i dont want to go melting the cable
  5. I fitted one today for someone who ignored my recomendtion to get the 280mm Liquid II with 3 x LL 120 fans It does and doesnt fit, as in you have to have a high level of skill to fit it without marking the case or the aio and yes the dust cover does fit and it took alot of patience you have to fit it pipes up ll 120 blowining in through the rad
  6. My home pc's i use HX1200i + HX750 PSU's which are Continuous output rated temperature 50°C anyway i used old parts i had hanging around to upgrade my parents Core 2 Quad PC (which i upgraded in the past from a Core 2 Duo) I do this every couple of years with spare parts being that its a freebee supplied by me im not going to go buying them a HX series psu Intel DQ77MK i7 3770 32GB DDR3 1600 GeForce GTX 750 Ti 240 GB Integral SSD (Phison S11T) In a new Deepcool MATREXX 55 RGB TG Case My only spare psu was a 10 year old coolermaster psu that came bundled with an old case that never got used u know the type 500w with around 300w max on the 12v line super cheap super light It has been in there for 6 months or so but smells like burning whenever gaming so have been waiting to pick them up a cheap corsair psu once prices came back down I picked up a Corsair CV650 yesterday for them for £33 I know this will be fine for the setup but noticed the Continuous output rated temperature is 30°C what is its Continuous output rated wattage at 40°C Continuous output rated wattage at 50°C Failing that is there some sort of rule of thumb e.g. take x% off for every 10°C
  7. Well im in the UK so one from Almere would be great Did you poke the web team?
  8. You will be surprised what these oem psu's can handle I have a HP Microserver Gen8 that i picked up in 2014 that has a 200w psu I have it crammed to the rafters and its still running fine as a 24/7 server 6 years later I compile code on it all the time its fine Upgrades Xeon E3 1290 v2 (4.1 GHz Lol) 2 x 8GB PC3 1866 ECC 4 x 10 TB WD Helium HDD (internal) LSI SAS2 9207 4i4e 1 x Samsung 850 Evo 250GB (Internal) 2 x 4TB 2.5" HDD (Internal) 2 x 2TB 2.5" HDD (Internal) 4 x 8TB WD Helium HDD (External SAS Enclosure) 2 x 60mm Blower Fans 6 x 2TB 2.5" USB Drives (Hub Powered) 1 x 128GB Samsung EVO Micro SD So yeah you have 40w more power than my server you should be fine Saying that though if i could replace my psu at the right price i would to cover all bases but sadly its a custom tiny psu https://postimg.cc/gallery/kmd2PrK
  9. Any idea when eu/uk are getting them I signed up for an e-mail months ago and havnt received anything also been checking the website daily the last 8 days
  10. nope on stock on the uk store https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/12-pin-GPU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920274 btw im not sure why people cry about needing a huge psu for the RTX 3090 im seeing over 100w peak power less with the RTX 3090 at 115% PL than with my Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro + with a 320W PL the 3090 doesnt spike the PSU anywhere near as much as the Vega 64 that i can see from readings maybe icue doesnt pick it up im sure you know more about it
  11. Is this going to be available in the uk any time soon? e.g. on amazon.co.uk or scan.co.uk I finally managed to snag a 3090 FE from scan.co.uk today (they are the bestbuy for uk fe's) So would like a cable some time soonish for my HX1200i
  12. My first goto was the cables as i thought the same I really dont like the 24pin being modular its a bad idea same for the primary eps12v but it seems everyone wants fully modular for some stupid reason I cleaned all contacts with 99.9% iso propanol and gave it 2 hours to evaporate It didnt make a difference I tested with a multimeter at the 24pin header eps12v and pci-e all where low I just hope its a one off bad unit and not an indicator of a bad design..
  13. I didnt say it was due to the 3.3v rail i simply said the 3.3v rail was garbage in comparison to my hx750 I said the 12v rail was 11.1v going as low as 10.7v under load causing instability and is clearly failing this was also confirmed with a multimeter oh and btw the icue readings where saying it was fine so yeah dont take them as gospel come on jonny you know better
  14. The HX1200i used to register 12.096 but it has been going mad the last 2 weeks or so 11.8 11.4 11.1 i have seen it at 10.7 under a prime 95 load even reseated the cables although they where fine already Pulled out my old HX750 and its fine its a 2nd gen HX750 from 2014/2015 CP-9020031-UK The HX1200i was picked up in 2018 Maybe i just got unlucky with a bad one but the 3.3v rail was bad from day one it was 3.245 under idle and as low as 3.080 under a prime95 + gpu load With my HX750 its 3.344 idle and 3.265 under load I was never happy with the poor 3.3v rail I just presumed it was the motherboard turned out it wasnt the motherboard but just a bad 3.3v rail on the HX1200i so its lucky the 12v rail imploded or i would have never known I only picked up the HX1200i as the HX750 had been so good and my pc upgrade was at the edge of its rating I have also been getting crashes the last couple of weeks which was driving me mad so put the cpu back to 5ghz and disabled the gpu oc was still getting crashes Since i have put the HX750 in its been fine so have reinstated the oc which has also been fine The motherboard seemed to be compensating for the bad 12v rail its on stock voltage with a -0.035mv undervolt stock intel load line and ac/dc load line at 5ghz it was putting 1.320v into the cpu at the bios with the HX1200i at 5.1ghz its putting in 1.308v into the cpu at the bios with the HX750
  15. Not sure about that chief my 11.1v 12v rail on my hx1200i disagrees swapped it out for my old hx750 bang 12.168v my 2x hx750's have been great solid all round rails the hx1200i not so good..
  16. ok thanks but its still a bit of a joke to pay £240 for a new psu only for it to perform worse than my 5 year old HX750
  17. Who do i blame for 3.3V line going out of spec Corsair or Gigabyte? My 3.3v line is going out of spec if the pc is fully loaded From my understanding there is an allowance for it to go upto 5% off 3.3v (is it 3.3v or 3.33?) Anyway my Corsair HX1200i is always at 3.297 flickering to 3.285 at idle (readings from the psu lower readings from the motherboard) My old Corsair HX750 was always around 3.310 to 3.330v on the same pc (readings from the motherboard) When the pc is fully loaded the HX1200i says that its putting out 3.266v The motherboard Z390 M Gaming with i9-9900KS says that the 3.3v rail is 3.127v To stay in spec is has to be above 3.135v at all times yes i know its not much out of spec but my old HX750 managed to keep it above 3.25v at all times even fully loaded so why is my HX1200i unable to do it the psu was upgraded to give ensure there was plenty of headroom but i have ended up with much worse voltages see image when the cpu and gpu is loaded below oh and the gpu is only slightly loaded with a 118w load the gpu pulls over 350w when gaming which causes the 3.3v rail to drop even more than i am showing in the image I am pulling only 498w from the psu I have actually seen it pull 854w before whist stress testing both cpu and gpu in a game (prime 95 whist gaming)
  18. Hi im mainly asking for confirmation from corsair to 100% cover myself but thanks for replying Im not asking if they should be able to handle it corsair included them with the HX1200i so they must think they are upto it but graphics cards supply 2 8 pins for a reason and using the included split off 8 pin is just the same as plugging in 1 8 pin into the gpu I have 4 x Spare Single HX/TXM PCIE Braided cables sitting here doing nothing (As i have 2 HX750 PSU's) they also look far higher wire gauge than the ones that come with the HX1200i so I Would be better using 2 x spare single ones from my HX750 for the HX1200i would i not? with regards to "Also can i go the other way and use an 8-pin EPS12V cable from the hx1200i and plug it into a spare blue 8 pin port on the back of my hx750 to populate both of my 8-pin EPS12V Sockets on my motherboard? " I know the HX1200i comes with 2 8-pin EPS12V cables so thats fine But the HX750 Gold only comes with 1 x 8-pinEPS12V Non Modular i was just curios if i could if desired use one of my 8-pin EPS12V modular from the HX1200i cables on the HX750 Gold to add a second EPS12V for my motherboard (e.g. in another pc) (im not going to do this but want to know if i could which i suspect is yes) with regards to power my HX750 Gold covers my build just fine and is 100% stable but is on the high end of its use case when fully loaded on the gpu and cpu the reasoning behind upgrading to the HX1200i Plat is for monitoring and hitting the sweet spot for noise/efficiency if i fully load my cpu with an avx load it uses well over 200w on its own fully loaded gpu is around 400w for the whole graphics card then add the ssd's,motherboard,ram,fans and such you looking well over 700w
  19. The way i am reading it is they both accept type 3 and type 4 so its fine? Why does the HX1200i only use 1 x 8 pin on the psu for 2 x 8 pin for the gpu I Would be better using 2 x spare single ones from my HX750 being as im only using 1 gpu would i not? my gpu is very greedy and pulls upto 350W so would rather not use a shared cable (GPU only Power Draw e.g its higher at the psu after hbm2 and pcb) Also can i go the other way and use an 8-pin EPS12V cable from the hx1200i and plug it into a spare blue 8 pin port on the back of my hx750 to populate both of my 8-pin EPS12V Sockets on my motherboard?
