  1. I would be careful to read the whole thread including the video I just posted. You can then make a decision based on that and what you plan on buying going forward.
  2. Good questions. I have been asking the same thing with similar links here:
  3. I agree. I have tried them after being quite reluctant, and they seem to have a quality product.
  4. What’s your thought on the custom cables provided by cablemod then? They have both 2 and 3 4-pin connectors to the single 12-pin available through their configuration utility. It’s based on your own PSU brand and you can order specific lengths and color combinations. Their reputation is good but some are still reluctant to go that route. They advertise high gauge wire as well although it’s not specific on their website. It’s the only solution to keeping a cable color theme if desired as I don’t see that option available yet at Corsair.
  5. Yes, but why have such a limitation as ridiculous as it sounds? Might be some issue arising due to the adapter not being up to the task. Makes you wonder.
  6. So here’s a custom Zotac card with a 4 8-pin adapter, not just a 3 8-pin adapter with a major caveat: https://www.techpowerup.com/299162/8-pin-pcie-to-atx-12vhpwr-adapter-included-with-rtx-40-series-graphics-cards-has-a-limited-service-life-of-30-connect-disconnect-cycles Limited service life with the adapter.
  7. Of course that’s the FE card whereas the other vendors may have different requirements.
  8. Here is a little information from Nvidia via techpowerup on the issue of PSU necessity with the upcoming GPUs: NVIDIA made it clear the existing power supplies will work fine through the use of adapter cables, a ATX 3.0 PCI-Express 5.0 power supply is not required for Ada Lovelace GPUs.

  9. Yea. I’m just looking to get a 4090 at some point and want to be prepared. And there’s so much misinformation that it’s difficult to sort fact from pure speculation at times. Thanks for your reply!! 🙂
  10. But there was the new 1500W PSU announced as above: https://www.techpowerup.com/296760/corsair-announces-the-2022-hxi-power-supply-series But there’s no 16 pin on the PSU side. The comments are revealing to me. I was hoping for some clarity here but it’s still quite confusing. And then in the other link I posted, there’s the concern about a safety risk with using an adapter. I wish we had something definitive about using an ATX 2.0 PSU with and adapter or a custom cable from the 8-pin connection on the PSU to the 12/16 pin to the GPU.
  11. No other input from corsair? I the first reference above, it may be a load balancing issue: 25A on one connector while the other 2 are 7.9 and 6.4 Amps. It’s recommended to have an updated PSU with the upcoming 4090s. ATX 3.0 PSU. Does corsair have any?
  12. So here is another source on this subject: https://wccftech.com/atx-3-0-12vhpwr-gen-5-connector-major-safety-risk-using-adapter-confirms-pci-sig/ So what do you make of this? And I saw your comments here: https://www.techpowerup.com/296760/corsair-announces-the-2022-hxi-power-supply-series So just plug in the 8 pin connectors and not worry about it? It’s really confusing.
