You just saved me from buying the wrong cable. Thank you for linking to the 600W version!

You’re welcome

Corsair 600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR Type-4 PSU Power Cable is the one you need, I got mine last weeek. Works perfectly!

[@Kapono5150]

I went ahead and brought a PSU with the 12VHPWR connection, not a fan of how Corsair markets this.

[@donuthole7236]

I believe the aux 4 pin connector is for the ATX 3.0 is for power demand signaling between the PSU and GPU for power supplies that have "marginal" capacity to meet the system requirements and is used to throttle the GPU down so it consumes less power. If you have a PSU with ample power capacity like 1200-1600 watts it's not required. If it was required, no one could install an RTX4080 of 4090 in their systems unless they replace the PSU along with the GPU which is exasperated by the fact only a few companies produce power supplies that have the ATX 3.0 features.

[@CGC-media]

That's why Corsair did this cable, as a interim solution and to avoid using the cable adapters that the GPUs will come with. Unfortunately the 600W 12+ pin cable in not currently available yet, they only have a 12 pin cable compatible with 30 series. For a 4090 GPU and a latest gen CPU you need a beefy PSU unfortunately, like 1000 - 1200 W.

[@kovernatic]

From what I've read it's suppose to hold up to 600w of gpu load

[@gary56]

Yes that only works for all the 30 series FE. They have one for the 40 series which is out of stock. I have a 3090ti FE and it has the sixteen pin connector on the GPU. The adapter cable that comes with the FE is only 12 pins.

Just come across your video as I have just bought a new PSU for my new computer build (which includes an ASUS ROG Strix RTX4090 OC) & the new PSU is a Corsair HX1500i & it comes with a lead very similar to the one you show in this video except that it DOES have the 4 data pin section BUT ONLY HAS TWO PINS IN IT !!!

Excelent Cable Corsair, for:
3080 Ti, 3090 Ti, & 4090...

[@ghhoward]

You cannot use Corsair 12 pin(12 pin) series 30 for 16 Pin(12 Pin) for 3090 Ti and 40 Series they are two different connections.

[@ecotts]

is the 12VHPWR cable that you needed backward compatible with the 3080ti FE?

[@CGC-media]

I don’t think so no .. you need this one for the 3080

[@FANATEClei]

Excelent Cable, for:
3080 Ti, 3090 Ti, & 4090...

[@williamrestrepo98]

will the 40 series cable work on an Asus 3090 ti TUF

[@CGC-media]

Hi, I think so as it has the 4 pin connector as well

[@sakurasua]

How about 3090ti. Which cable do I need?

[@CGC-media]

Same as 4090 it has the pins

[@Squishmallows24]

Can this cable be used with the 3090 ti FE?

[@CGC-media]

Hi, No it can't it does not have the 4 extra pins.

[@Cj2329]

hi, look up to the specs page and it will say if the gpu is 12 pin only compatible or only the new one!

[@dennisp8520]

This new cable has been a real mess. I like the new spec but I wish they would have made the pins thicker since there have been durability issues with this connector. Also it’s been terrible getting ready for the 40 series with the fact that ATX 3.0 PSUs won’t be out till December

[@CGC-media]

There are some available Thermaltake tuf power, and MSI
