Why I opted for the New Corsair PCIe 5.0 Power Cable for my RTX 4090 GPU

Ойындар

Whilst not having experienced any problems with the supplied adapter cable with my RTX4090 Graphics Card, I decided to replace it with the new Corsair PCIe 5.0 cable. In this video I tell you why.

    @Simhanger Flight Simulation I was wondering, with the case you are currently using, will the glass panel go on without any major bending near the cable port (Nvidia native). I don`t really care about the aesthetics, and I have heard people having issues with drawing power trough the Corsair cable. I haven`t bought a case yet, but the two i am considering is ASUS TUF (the one you have) or Lian Iii air mini (which i know the side panel won’t fit

    I had no issues with the 4 to 1 adapter and GamersNexus has put the 'burnt connector' non-issue to bed. Us mere mortals can't get hold of the Corsair cable yet so I bought a "Fasgear PCIe 5.0 GPU Power Cable" from Amazon UK for my Corsair AX1600i PSU. It is a heavy gauge cable and allows a tight safe bend, plus it terminates in 3 PSU plugs. All connections are crimped. Works very well and tested with a thermistor attached to make sure.

    Ordered this cable for my new 4090 coming in the mail today. I had read that some had noticed that if you don't connect all of the 8 pin connections to your PSU (with the connector that comes with your 4090) that it will power throttle. I'm wondering if you've done some extensive testing with corsair's cable to see if this is a potential issue?

    Most older power supplies can output 150v per port max. 150 x 4 = 600v. That is why I say check your PSU. Mine can output 300v per port so twin cable fine. (Most PSU can actually do 300 per port by the way). It is a bit more complicated than what I have said, but you get the principle I’m sure 👍

    I mean, how bloody hard is it for these cable manufacturers to have a standard 90deg 12VHPWR connector head ? You'd think it was rocket science or something but EVERY cable needs a tight radius bend to turn the cable either up/down dependant on routing. GPUs all suffer from a p[oor placement of their connectors towards the cases side panel. This is BASIC logistics as the cable has to route a between 90-180 deg back to the PSU (dependant on case design). So give us a damned 90deg head as standard to solve this stupidity.

    YES omg same! I have Tuf Oc and Hx1200 (platinum) PSU. Does your red standby light on your gpu remain on when you power the system with the Corsair cable? Mine does, apparently this means it's not drawing enough power. I have reseated it several times and I know I had plugged it in correctly. I ended up switching back to the Nvidia adaptor. I'm in the middle of talking with Corsair customer support, i provided image of cable box serial numbers and my recipt but they want me to plug the faulty cable back in and take a picture to demonstrate. I'm not sure I want to plug a faulty cable back in to my £2000 gpu 😂 Not impressed and don't know what to do 😭😂

    Hope it works for you. I see Corsair 'guarantees' compatibility. I must be blind, I cannot see the needed 16-pin connector port on the Corsair psu in the photo in your video (?). Note: Not all PSUs have a strong enough 12volt rail to deliver 600 watts dedicated on that rail just for the graphics card. Given the 4090 is about $2000 USD ($1700 MSRP), spending another $350 on a 1300 -watt ATX 3.0 / PCI 5 PSU that DOES have a very strong 12-volt rail for graphics probably beats going $20 for a cable that 'might' work... just sayin'...

    @@SimHangerFS What I don't understand with this cable from Corsair is how it comes with 2 connectors on the PSU side. Meaning each port would have to deliver up to 300w. While at the same time people have been told when using the original adapter from Nvidia how they need to connect 4 SEPARATE cables to the adapter coming from 4 separate ports on the PSU side. As I recall it, you even got a warning note with the Nvidia adapter illustrating this. When I think of it, I guess the answer is the Corsair cable is certified for 300w per cable where the 4 cables on the Nvidia adapter aren't 🤔

    @ hi, there are a number of different reasons, but primarily Nvidia are assuming absolute worst case scenario, they specify 4 cables assuming the PSU is underpowered and not fully modulated etc. The Corsair cable specs are very specific in terms of minimum specs, considerably higher than Nvidia have assumed etc. The cable itself is a whole different quality to the standard adapter.
