Nvidia really messed up on this one, imagine a $1600 - $2000+ card and they cheap out on this power cable, bruh wtf! 🤨
At that point they gotta give out replacements
They messed up not forcing everyone to get a new PSU with the 12vhpwr connector. Dongles are a mistake.
No, it’s because the 4090 can do a 133% power limit and draw 600W. The people who got melted cables are
this isn't an nvidia issue man , the entire video and research shows the cables are at fault or end user if anyone is to blame its the guys who came up with the new 12vhpr design....
ur nit gonna blame Toyota if the entire car industry moves to oval shape wheels....
The 4070 is only $600
Very good to know. Super clear instructions! Thanks Robey. :)
This is exactly the video and info I needed ! Thanks.
I am looking at changing my 4090 power wire but heard about the fires and so I was a bit cautious as I wasn't sure what was the issue. But this has cleared it up. So thank you
How has it been? Did it catch fire yet?
this video alone gets you a new subscriber. nice work!
Thanks for this very informative and helpful video.
I purchased a 4090 today. This was really helpful, thanks.
Thank you so much, My 4080 Super arrives tomorrow and needed to make sure everything would be properly wired
Thankyou Man, this helps alot.
Thank you, glad I watched this video
great information will help a lot of 4000 series users
Another good tip is if you're going to use an L-shaped adapter, don't forget to check what WATTAGE RATING it's for. As far as I've seen on the market, there are TWO VERSIONS for these 12vhpwr 90 degree adapters. One is rated for 450w. The other is rated for 600w. Check to make sure your 4090 model is not one of those that go above 450w out of factory (e.g. the Strix, or the Gigabyte Gaming OC) if you plan on using the 450w rated adapter. The materials for the 450w adapters are probably only able to handle the low tier 4090s at best. There is a 4090 tier list here on YT that has all models of the 4090 listed with their power ratings on a chart.
never a good idea to add an adapter with high power. you are adding an additional spot of pin-pin connection and this has a DC resistance added, hence more heat.
What cable to use with a strix oc?
GPU saver. Thanks!
Which cable goes where would have help me. Good info still
I thank God every day that I waited 5-6 months to buy the 4090, did research and bought the Corsair 12VHPWR cable along with a 1200w Corsair power supply. 10 months later and its running with no issues
Which psu did you go with? Heard 1200 watt was good for the 4090s.
Which psu did you go with and does the 12vhpwr cable come with the psu or do I gotta order that as well
Picked up my card today. Hopefully I’m good. Got the Corsair RM1200x as well.
@@marlonfowlerwhat about hx1200w ? , i don't have the cable but can i maybe contact corsair to plug in one ?
@@_.xalvarok So far, everything is working well with the Corsair psu. I didn’t use any of Nvidia’s cords
Is that cable from corsair only compatible with corsair power supplies??
Hi, not really understand, can I use the new cable from the power supply like from this MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5?
thank you man
Hi man! One question. I've got an xpg cybercore platinum 1300 w psu (the non 3.0 version). What adapter do i need to get for a 4080 ? Or i just should use the adapter that Nvidia gives you with the card?
I live in Argentina by the way and getting stuff is hard here :/
tyvm for the vid
So just clarify, use atx 3.0 cable (if available with psu) instead of adapter ?
Does the Corsair ribbon cable on the Gigabyte 4090 in a Lancool 216 clear the case?
Same components here o11 dynamic and 4070 ti, it’s ridiculous Nvidia 3x8 adapter, I will give it a try to amazon link, by the way can you daisy Chain the gpu cable for this Zotac extreme 4070ti or do I have to use 3 individual 1x8 from my psu? Thanks
Hey guys need your help just to make sure. I bought recently a 3090ti FE, we're talking about the same kind of connection as the 4000 series ? The 16pin 12VHPWR, right ?
I'm gonna order a new set from cablemod if that's the case.
Thank you to much sir
I got Nividia RTX 4090 coming tomorrow, can I use the connecter supplied if my case is wide enough or with side panel off?
Is it OK to use the original adapter if you have a case that not bend the cable ? I mean in this video you can notice the glass is pushing against the cable but if I have a big case that not bending the cable, would that be ok or should I use other adapter instead ? Just bought 4070Ti and my case is ASUS TUF Gaming GT50.
The 4070Ti just not pushes the 12HVPWR connector to its limit, you're ok by doing as you want
FINALLY ! A vid about this
my card is rog strix 4070 ti oc has 3 x 8 pins ? would u advice putting all 3 x 8 pins or just 2 x 8 pins in pls
Yes, it helped a lot😊
Just a question if you do have debris what do you do?
I bought a pre-built customised computer, and the cable goes with a pretty nasty bend OVER the graphics card. The company I bought it from has been in business for decades, and been doing high end gaming setups for at least 15 years at this point as well. They give 5 year warranty on their entire system, so they are confident in what they sell. I've had 3 PCs in 15 years at this point, and they all still run to this day. Now this still spooks me out but I doubt asking them about it would result in anything other than "nah we do it well dw".
I'd never buy a pre built PC, just for the fact that you won't ever know if they used repaired parts or used ones. With 0 experience but enough brain, Imade a 2 week thorough esearch and now I'm confident to build my 4090 set, buying directly from retailer as new parts, with a little bit of help doing the Mobo connections. Don't do that ever again, if you still plan to upgrade in the near future. 15 years ain't matter
Thank you.
GN is my go to for extreme testing!
The cable you reccommended, will it be compatible with my Corsair RM750 W 80+ Gold PSU, and the new MSI RTX 4070 X Gaming Slim I just got? I haven't put the new card in yet but I'm not liking the adapter they sent me.
If I have a power supply with 12VHPWR port onboard, can I use this cable to connect my ASUS ROG Strix RTX3080 with 3 8-pin connectors on it instead of using 3 x 8-pin to 3 x 8-pin?
I am using the 12VHPWR cable that came with my PSU to connect to a Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4070 Ti Super. However, there's a 1mm gap that remains no matter how hard I push the cable into the connector, and I don't hear any clicking sound either.
i cant get the cables through the hole to plug the cable into the 4080 super i have that same connector that came with the gpu i use a lian li evo dynamic case
I have pigtail issue with my MSI 4080 super. When I move the pigtail the power shuts off the video card. I inspected the pigtail and removed the tape around the top and saw that 2 wires were cut and rewired to other wires with a heat shrink around it. Is that normal? Or did they sand me a used card? Is there a pinout anywhere online to see what they're supposed to look like from the manufacturer?
So i can use my atx 12+4 to 12+4 600W from my MSI MEG Power supply, leaving all my pcie slots free for other things?
Now I think I'm ready to try and install my GPU
I bought a rtx 4080 strix from asus, and i have a Lian li O11 Dynamic XL case. Hopefully my new graphics card wont catch fire. I also bought a (just to make sure for compatibillity) new 1200 watt ATX 3.0 PSU.
But this video helpd, now i am aware not to bent the cables too far.
But how would you look for dirt inside such a small hole its really hard
what could i do with a 4070ti on a pure base 600?
I bought a 4070 super today. For the connector that comes in box, can I leave one female port unused and just connect one to it ??
What cable attach to that splitter? And once those cables are attached where do those get plugged into on your psu?
Im after this question as well. From what I have gathered. If you have a 4070 ti that comes with the 2 8 pin connector you connect 2 seperate pcie 6+2 cables that came with you psu and than plug those into 2 pcie 8 pin on psu. I heard not to use only 1 pcie cable by using the 2nd pigtail 6+2 on the same pcie cable and must use 2 seperate pcie cables and the main 6+2 connectors on each or you wont get proper power.
What is the OM1D he is referring to?
Type of PCIe cords can get confusing with the 2x8 cables and 6x2x2 maybe clarify what exactly those are and how to plug in a 4080 super to the psu properly with these cables. Everyone says something different, don't daisy chain, only use 12pin,etc.
Ok, hopefully this isn’t a stupid question. I was able to get a Gigabyte 4090 Aero for my white build. I have a 1000 w Corsair Shift that came with the white type 5 cables in a bundle direct from Corsair. The Aero comes with a 1 to 4 12vhpwr cable. The PSU has a 1 to 2 type 5 12vhpwr.. will that still work with the 4090 ? I guess I’m concerned / confused at the two less cables delivering the same power
Whatever cable you use needs to be rated at 600 watts. Don't even think of using a 450 watt cable of any kind. You can also get a 90% adapter. It plugs in and makes a 90 degree angle then you plug your cable into it. Don't skimp for a cheap one and make sure it's also rated for 600 watts. It eliminates any sharp bend in your cable and only sticks out about 5/8's inch in front of your card.
I'm having trouble securing the cable on my gigabyte 4070ti. No matter what I do the port feels lose. I also have a 4090 from msi where if I push on the cable that thing is extremely secure.
Can someone help me what graphics card should I buy at this point? And is GDDR6X relevant?
Came to make sure I plugged it in correctly. No clicking but the plug is basically flush with the card so I hope it works.
How do you turn off the PNY white light?
Wow. Make sure the plug is secure and not bent. How could anyone miss that? Good luck on that class action suit.
The problem is how loose fitting it is
As an engineer, I can tell you that high current, even across low resistance connections, AMPLIFIES the current draw and even small resistances in the connections create large voltage drops, which generate heat. Minifit Jr connectors (the larger PCI-8 connectors) are pretty good at distributing current flow evenly, but the smaller connector on board the RTX 4070 is a Microfit Jr connector. These pins are smaller and cannot handle the load as well. These companies are cheating themselves by reducing the connector size. Three PCI-8 connectors (8 x 3) are SUPERIOR to the 24 pins (12 for power, 12 for ground) on the GPU card. Therefore, making use out of ALL of the pins on the GPU connector is critical for load sharing.
Now for the boring math stuff; A RTX 4070 ti (reportedly) draws 300W. At 12V input, that's 25AMPS (300W / 12V = 25A). With 12 pins for power on the GPU (25A / 12 pins = 2A), that's 2 AMPS PER PIN! This is ballpark, because I dunno what the PCIe-x16 connector itself draws or can handle as far as wattage.
How about the 4090 then? Is that fine?
@@sseba my daughter's 4070ti was blacking out every day. I took it apart and added bypass wires to one of the 12 volt 8 pin minifit connectors and so far, no blackouts since then (a month ago)
So I have 5000D Corsair case which hella space between the glass and where gpu cables bend. I’m thinking about getting a 4080 strix white or aero white, the current PSU is Corsair RMx 1000w, am I fine with the included cable or do I need to buy a better adapter
Please 100% buy a new ATX 3.0 PCIE 5.0 power supply, if you wanna be safe! These adapters ARE trash!
Quick question. There are 3 connectors. Do we need to insert them all into the power supply ? Installing this Graphic card for my son. Thx for the info.
Of course you do. And you don't need an adapter if you have a new enough power supply which itself comes with a corresponding power cord.
Are you referring to the o11 dynamic EVO in this video? Will that case fit a gigabyte rtx 4090 OC with a atx 3.0 psu cable? Or should I just run it without a side panel
Did you find the answer ?
@@erdalguncel9038 It definitely does NOT fit.
Thx
wonder if anyone can help. I have a four year old computer i7 9th generation processor, 16 GB ram and a 550w Corsair PSU. The mother board is a asustek prime. I tried to put a 16gb 4060 ti in it but I cannot get the pc to boot properly. First time it cycled on and off in quick succession and second time there was no signal from the card. Any ideas? I have performed a bios reset twice now.
That cable in the link doesn't work by itself it needs 2 in order to connect to power supply please show how you connected to the power supply because I wasted time ordering the cord only for it to not work
Just paid for an RTX 4080. I have a Corsair PSU and bought the Corsair cable for my PSU off Amazon. The included gpu box cable would be horrid in my case so I am nicely prepared for my install now :) Fingers crossed the GPU beastie arrives this Saturday!
How are things going with your current GPU so far? Any heating issues or any other issues?
@@omaralsalihi5033 his pc caught fire 2 minutes after installing.....
best wishes, im about to hook up my 4080 and i hope it fits in my case and i hope i can daisy chain one pcie cable and have two other added cables but only use one of th etwo 8 pin for the 3 to 1 adapter that came with the gpu in the box, i hope it all fits and doesnt bend in my case or ill be taking back the 4080 or something lol was a christmas present
I didn't use the cable that came with my 4080 Super Pro Art series. Was not long enough to connect directly to my power supply.
Glad I saw this video before installing my brand new 4090.
cant close case

seems like dynamic evo little bit wider inside?
so sad
Your video really helped me a lot. My nvidia adapter was doing a curve in my o11 evo and I decided to change the psu. Do you think 850w is enough for a rtx 4090 and r9 5950x? Cheers from Brazil
if you can go with a 1,000? its better to have more than you need.
That’s plenty unless you are planning on giving the 4090 more than 600w of power
Surprised there is no 90degree (or even 180) adaptor. In any case other than vertical mounting (which is useless in tempered glass cases), cables will want to travel at 90degrees, and mostly up (to not interfere with fans...).
Cablemod makes adaptors 90, and 180 in both directions.
There are actually. Other cable he linked is from a company that makes the same cable with arc, 90 degree and many other variants.
Cablemod now sells 90° cable without a 90° adapter
@@stormrider01 just bought it. The less additional connections, the better.
Got new pc got gpu 4070ti pny mounted plugged on gpu differend dp hdmi tried, no signal i dont know what to do
what cable would you recommend for the saphire rx 7900 xtx nitro+ as it needs 3x8 should i use one single 6+2 and one dual 6+2 or should i spend more and get 3 single 6+2's
3 single 6+2 is the way
I just got my 4080 fe. that adapter sucks. Can't put my panel back on...is it safe to have my glass panel off till I get my corsair cables in like 2 weeks.?
Yes
Right angle cable?
I have O11D XL and the cable is bulky and touches the panel. I would advise not to use 3rd party cables as most issues are stemming from 3rd party mods. Instead, I used a stupidly simple solution to get rid of the bend. I vertically mounted my GPU, now it even runs 2 degrees cooler. 62C on hotspot while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on RT Ultra.
yo can i see your build? i got the same case and 4090 shipping to me. first build so i could use all the help i can get
I have a lian li 216. Glad to know ill have room
Honestly, they should just angle the lanes going out by 45 degree. So that it naturally angles downwards instead of going straight out. Essentially build in a 45-90 degree bend by default. That would've solved all this.
Yeah but 'downwards' means different things depending on your setup
I just picked up a new Asus 4080 strix (Non-OC) and now I'm lost on how to connect those 90* adapters or the power for that matter.
Since they usually have the 2 or 3 8-pin PCI-e plugs but they all state that you shouldn't plug the adapter cable directly into the PSU.
So maybe just use a 90* adapter and 2 or 3 8-pin PCI-e plugs that come with your PSU?
Also, is it ok to use your PSU's PCI-e plugs that have the 6+2 thingy to plug into the 3 way 8-pin power adapter?
Thanks for the video!
Got that same GPU and really love it🙂. I just brought a new cable from be quite, I never used the monstrous mess of a cable supplied with the card.
What psu do you have?
@@ForeignMove be quite straight power 1000w
@@dazzauk8334 is it the Straight Power 11 or 12? I’m also planning on buying one to power a TUF 4070ti OC.
@@AxelWalls straight power 11
What is the benefit of an ATX 3.0? I have a Thermaltake 1200w and am still using an rtx 3080. I'm looking at getting a 4090, but I'm not sure how to hook it up if I do.
You’ll have a native 12vhp cable that plugs directly into the power supply. Have ran my 4090 for 4 months with no problems. Still worries me but never had anything to scare me yet
I love that I'm gonna need to buy 2 cables.
The 2x8 to 12+4 for the graphics card
And a 8 to 2x8 for the PSU, because my PSU currently only has a 6 + 8 and not two 8
Is this issue only for the 4090?? or for ALL of the 4000 series? I was thinking of getting a 4070 Ti and so far I havent found anybody that said the 4070's have the melting cable issue.
just play it safe and make sure thats its secured properly like the guy in the video says, dont take any chances with an 800 dollar pc component\
video: "Dont' overbend table"
me: Looking at the 90 degree bend done in roughly 1/2 inch space betten my GPU and side panel.
I have a long 12VHPWR cabel with the same ends one called psu and one 600w ofc i know where they go but are they safe to use on my 4080 super oc
Immediately with no other extention?
Yes that is what I use on my 4090 never had a problem
a year later, they are still catching fire, and it's not due to incorrect installing of the plug it's the plug itself that isn't rated on the volts.
Using a better cable would be a great idea...that is unless NVIDIA says that would void their warranty
They can not and they can never be able to predict what cable you used because they are not able to see it. They always assume you used the adapter
I have a Seasonic Focus Plus 750W Gold and this cable just isn't fitting. Do you have any recommendations?
I just got a 4070 super. And have RM750e Corsair power supply. Is the 12vhpwr (12+4) 4 pin the right connection
Asking the same thing!!
Not me with the bent standard adapter in my 4080 sitting inside my 011 dynamic 😭
planned obsolescence, because the previous entrance was more durable. But this one is causing problems and besides the connection the card will become unusable and a new one will have to be bought.
Hi, i wanted to ask something. Im going to buy a 4060 or 4070 will i have any of that problems because now im a bit worried
I have 4070 and it uses 2x8 cable not 12vhpwr so you should be fine
Gonna have to disagree in plugging it in last. If anything you should plug in the adapter BEFORE you put it in your system, so you can 100% confirm it's connected and apply enough force without risk of damaging your motherboard or the card, since it isn't supported by any sort of sag bracket at that point.
Better band the cable first and then plug it in because if you do so you won't stress the connector.
Thanks for the video Robeytech! I have another concern which should help others. Make sure your PSU has three dedicated PCI-E power connectors so that each adapter plug gets the same full dedicated voltage. (NO Pig Tails!) I'm using a Lian Li Lancool 216 with a Corsair RM 1000X PSU with the supplied 3 pin adapter. Plug the 12/16 pin in GPU last after your cable management runs are done and in their final placement. (Don't pull on the adapter after being installed on the plugged in GPU)
4:13 I don't like this adapter either. I prefer a cable that is connected to the PSU and the GPU.
Can I use 4x8pin on 4080 (it uses 3x8pin) and leave fourth unplugged?
Yes
No, it is only three plugs with 4080.
This is now a very old video remember. There is no option to use an '8 pin connector' on my ASUS TUF 4070ti or 4080 Super. Plug it in properly, I've never had an issue.
I have an ATX 3.0 PSU (be quiet! Straight Power 12 Platinum 1000w), meaning I only connect the one 600w 12vhpwr to the PSU and GPU and nothing else, yes? Because my new 4090 (PNY, not yet installed) has a cable with it with four plugs at the PSU end, but then I do not need that, but only the one Be Quiet! 12vhpwr 600w cable, I understand correctly? I would want to connect my new 4090 tomorrow and do not want to do anything wrong.
Ye 1 cable only from ur PSU to GPU with that new power supplies, u got any issues yet all fine?
@@Markzy_DM Thanks, it’s all great :)
Same with 4070?
they should just go back to 8-pin power connectors
its still a lottery ticket whether or not they crack or catch fire northwest repair got 19 cracked in not that long ago
great i just ordered one to upgrade my 3080ti..... greaaaaat

Ok, Can I connect 4070 Ti Super with cable 600w from Psu MSI a1000g without nVidia adapter?
I use it for my 4090 and I mean your power supply only gives what the components are asking for so I’d assume you’d be fine running it
@@danr.1299 ok, thanks for the answer.

@@DETERMINOLOGY This happened twice 3 months apart and it was recommended from top tech industry experts and Nvidia to replace the stock cables
@@JR7757 and prob they got their info from people that’s half plugging in the cable of user end. There’s a lot of people that has the 4000 series as well. Most of them not having issues so I mean if it was huge they would recall the gpus and they wouldn’t be selling today.
