Hi Mark, salient advice as always... just getting my new rig built with a 4090 and have instructed the tech to use this cable! Always about safety and future proofing! Thanks for the excellent videos!
Yes and no, only reason I would change it is because I have a white theme going in my case and the cable now is black...so once a white version comes out I'm all for it 😉
@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
since the Corsair cable was not available when i looked for it, I went for the Cablemod version which I configured in length, color and quality. I am VERY happy with this choice. The Nvidia Dongle worked fine but it was too ugly to look at...
I watched this video to see experience with the new 12 pin 4090 connector. I have a Corsair 5000D case and a new RM1200x PSU. I'm 53, have built hundreds of computers and I must say because of the side orientation of the PSU power outlets and the 5000D having an open back, it has been the most pleasant build I have ever done. The case itself could be better offering more ways to mount SSD's but as far as running PSU cables, it was so easy and pleasant to have easy visual access to the PSU outlets!!!!!!!
Fantastic stuff. I've been using an HX1000 PSU for a couple of years as a future proofing move. Seems to have paid off as I'm currently waiting for that non-OC TUF 4090 to restock in England. Thank you for your content. Highly informative. 👍
I replaced my cable to be safe anyway, I noticed the cable header didn’t seem to get too hot with the new cable any more, a lot less then the stock cable , so far very happy with the cable.
Waiting for my cable, should be here next week. Can't wait to neaten up my case again! I'm using a RM850x myself, which is actually proving to be more than enough for my 4090.
Hey I also have RM850x PSU and was gonna ask if this cable should work for 4080 or 4070ti? I have atm 2 PCIe 8pin (6+2) cables from my psu both of them has daisy chained connectors. Should I get this gen5 cable and only use this?
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.
Today im just changed my psu from 850 to 1600 with new pci5 connection my gpu is 4090 and cpu 13900ks the fps jump around 4-5 fps and very nice score in user benchmark
Nice. I have the same psu and went with Cablemod’s adapter because it would arrive much sooner than Corsair’s adapter. I hope we will see some 90 degree cables soon. It’s a tight bend even in my Corsair 5000D airflow.
What 4090 do you have? I am wanting to put a tuf 4090 in the 5000d case but not sure if the cable will touch the glass panel! Any advice would be helpful.
@@George-um2vc I have a gigabyte aorus master which is the biggest one. The tuf is smaller and should fit fine. My cable isn't bent sharply but it does touch the glass. I would be more concerned about sag than the cable bend which I'm glad the gigabyte has a strong bracket that goes into the motherboard screws.
I originally went with a similar cable mod cable, but the thought of reaching out to them and maybe sending my gpu half way accross the globe to get help was not an option. To be 100% safe I got a written reply from my gpu retailer, confirming that if I bought an atx 3.0 power supply from them I would be safe in terms of returns and warrenty in the event of a connection meltdown.
Thanks for the video. Would have been useful to see the GPU in a stress test getting the watts over 530, as the 4090 cards can go up to near 600 watts.
Excellent video i am planning to buy 4070ti and this cable i have a 750watt coolermaster mwe gold..I thing this cable will work just right because the whole card draw just under 300watts of power i will just upgrage for aesthetics
You seriously need a new CPU to take advantage of that 4090 in MSFS. No wonders it's running that cool and low wattage :) But thx for review of this cable. With the angled connector from Cablemod this is awesome!
Thanks for the video. I wasn't aware of this cable and was really worried about ordering a 4090 as I didn't think it would fit in my case with the horrible 4 cable adapters. This not only looks cleaner but saved space...Long story short, I'm now poor 🤣
I managed to get the Corsair cable in Oz last week. I also have an Asus TUF 4090 and the new cable works a treat with my Corsair RM850X PSU (which Hardware Unboxed used for all their benchmarks on the 4090 with no problems). I'll likely upgrade my PSU next year though, when I also upgrade from a 5800X3D to the 3D cache version of the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs.
have the Trio, waiting for the 180 from CM to be certified for the MSI Trio. a person who made 3D printed test 180 & 90 Degree adapters has sent them to me , once i get them, we will let MSI know how they worked so the Trio can be green-lighted or deemed a no-go (hopefully it will help them to that end).
In the beginning y was afraid to leave the computer on wen i leave the house but now i do not bother any more to turn of the computer. Running vore 9 months .@@arkos1719
Thanks for the informative video. Bought the same cable but only the premium one was available. BTW you should be hired for audiobooks. Your voice is smooth af lol
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.
Love your work! I look forward to your future content/updates. I'm going to use my 3090 till it gives out.. I also use a Ryzen thread ripper CPU and at first had issues optimizing my set up but now the only issues I run into is with the photogrammetry given my internet isn't the best in my area.
I have this new Corsair cables but did not install them because I was wondering about the 2 x 4 pins connectors vs 4x 8 pins provided by MSI. For now I will keep the new cable in the box since I rarely if not never open my case to mess up inside
Yeah, I guess if you've a case with the PSU that close to the GPU. I found the Corsair PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR GPU cable long enough to be almost too short to reach my PSU in my Lian Li O11 mini. The cable needs to be at least 10cm longer.
Thank you very much for this. This video was excellent and your narration clear and succinct. Got the same PSU and just ordered a 4090. Do you know how much clearance you need with the Corsair cables please? Again, thank you for this. Bloody brilliant!
From my research it has been proven that you can still run " Frame Generation mode", in TAA mode and not DLSS3 for a better picture and near the same FPS .
I just got the 4080 today and I'm thinking of ordering this. Are these the same specs as the one the GPU comes with? Like it will work fine with a 850w?
Hi, @SimHanger Flight Simulation! Great video! I have a question. I have the same power supply as you (rm1000x) and the same grapic card (rtx4090 Asus) and i have read that if you have a power supply with 1000 watt with the cable from corsair then the cable can only send/use 400 watt. Is this a problem for the rtx4090 when it can go just as high as 1000 watt? I am thinking about bying this cable and would just like to know if the cable makes any problems. Thank you for the answer.
The NVIDIA cable has an IC which detects how many of the 4 8-pin connectors are connected to the PSU. Does the Corsair cable has this IC? When you use the corsair cable which only has 2 8pins connectors to the PSU, does this limit the power to 300W (150W * 2)?
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?
At the end of this month i plan on buying a 4090 FE and a MSI MEG Ai1300P PCIE5, not 100% sure if ill get a 90° cablemod adapter aswell since they seem to melt aswell, kinda horrified about the purchase as its a pretty big one and I don't want to go without a GPU for a month lol
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'...
The connection on the PSU side is 2 x standard 8 pin connections. Even the new PCIe PSU’s have this.
ปีที่แล้ว
@@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.
ปีที่แล้ว
@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark! A friend of mine mentioned how you'll void the warranty of your GPU if using this Corsair cable. I think he said you mentioned this in the clip here but I must have missed it?
@ Nvidia have come out recently following a whole load of hype from various TH-camrs saying warranty would be invalid if using any third party cable to categorically state this is not the case and utilising a third party cable does not void your warranty or rights.
Maybe i missed it in the video but this cable should be only paired with a Corsair PSU that supports it. Buying this cable and using it for another brand of PSU is not recommended.
Did the Corsair cable under volt your graphics card ? I mean the original adapter has 4 x 8 pin plugs vs. Corsair 2 x 8. This could mean that it works great although not at the full capacity of your 4090 when needed.
No not undervolted, still capable of 600w. That is why they specify what type of power supply PSU that is compatible…fully modular etc. so power draw remains as required by Nvidia
That 4% fail rate goes up every day until it will eventually be 100%. My cable just burned up yesterday. I caught it before it damaged my GPU but MSI and Nvidia are trying to make me send it in anyway! 14 day turn around!!!
How about getting a PSU that already has 12VHPWR port on the PSU and includes the cable? I got Seasonic GX-1200 for my new build to pair up RTX 4090 FE
I have the Corsair type 5 RM1200x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold ATX 3.0 Fully Modular w/ PCIE 12+4Pins and the new corsair cables are not compatible unfortunately because these new cables are only designed for type 4 PSU
@@SimHangerFS that’s really great to hear. I’m gonna make the sacrifice and redo all my cables on PC and switch to Corsair psu then. It sucks but it’s worth it if that Corsair cable isn’t melting 4090’s. Thank you for your input.
200 watts on a 4090? You sure its actually pulling what its supposed to? It usually hits over 300 watts when in 4k. Makes me think that its limiting the 4090.
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 have the same cable from corsair with a HX1000i psu. I know the cable is compatible with my psu model. However, my 4090 doesn't light up and only the fan spins. Any idea what's going on?
@@SimHangerFS figured it out. User error, of course. My CPU power wasn't all the way plugged in after fumbling with all the cables. Thank you for the reply!
someone plz answer i got the 4090 suprim X and i got Modcable cable for the 4090 which came with 3 8pin instead of how my card came with the 4 8pin will this still be enough power for my card also if it reached can i plug from my card straight into the psu ?
Both your card and PSU I think would be compatible so should work. Sounds like you may have connected something wrong. Make sure your power ends are connected to the 8 pin slots and not the peripheral 6 pin slots on your PSU. if you removed the GPU check it is seated correctly.
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 😭😂
@@SimHangerFS Yeah I haven't heard anyone having this problem until I thought to check TH-cam comments on videos talking about this cable. Weird how OP and I both have the exact same PSU/gpu combo. Corsair want me to plug in the cable that I know doesn't work, to demonstrate it not working with pictures so they can send me a new one. Do you think I should oblige or worry about damage?
Does your cable only have two pins in the new 4 added data pins? Also does anyone know if reports have come in about this cable melting at all yet? Or have non melted ?
@@SimHangerFS Good to hear. I've been getting serious 4090 anxiety and I don't even have the card yet 😅 Placed the order for a custom build two weeks ago, added the corsair cable (braided version) after seeing your video.
I'm no expert, but this video shows max power limits th-cam.com/video/Qa4A12gQTHw/w-d-xo.html only two cards go above 600w it seems. So I'd imagine this connector would be fine with any other card in this list.
That first gen RM1000x PSU will likely fail and when or if it does it will likely be the green resister inside which you can see through the fan blades to the side of the big capacitors.
@@kekeke8988 Because its a good PSU when it works, but I'm telling you now the green NTC Resistor will be the failing factor. Your PSU will start to pop when you power it up but will continue to work, but god forbid if you ever put your PC in standby. You will be playing Russian Roulette with it. LOL Look up NTC resistor Corsair you will find others with similar issues with the same style circuitry, like in the RM1000i etc .
Do you have a 4090? Are you thinking of replacing your power adapter cable? Let me know below.

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.
@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark! A friend of mine mentioned how you'll void the warranty of your GPU if using this Corsair cable. I think he said you mentioned this in the clip here but I must have missed it?
@ Nvidia have come out recently following a whole load of hype from various TH-camrs saying warranty would be invalid if using any third party cable to categorically state this is not the case and utilising a third party cable does not void your warranty or rights.
Maybe i missed it in the video but this cable should be only paired with a Corsair PSU that supports it. Buying this cable and using it for another brand of PSU is not recommended.
Great video
Now I have a asus Rug Thor 1600 do you Think this is ok?
I would guess so, but haven’t ever tried one.
Is this cable for an asus thor 1 1200 w power supply or is it only for corsair series power supplies? .. thanks for the information
For Corsair only officially.
Would love to if I only could find the cable in stock somewhere
Agreed, hard to find at the moment. Availability should improve hopefully from late next week following Corsair’s official release.
Did the Corsair cable under volt your graphics card ? I mean the original adapter has 4 x 8 pin plugs vs. Corsair 2 x 8. This could mean that it works great although not at the full capacity of your 4090 when needed.
No not undervolted, still capable of 600w. That is why they specify what type of power supply PSU that is compatible…fully modular etc. so power draw remains as required by Nvidia
For those who've had their PSU for over 10 years, have an *80+ MOLD* rating.
That 4% fail rate goes up every day until it will eventually be 100%. My cable just burned up yesterday. I caught it before it damaged my GPU but MSI and Nvidia are trying to make me send it in anyway! 14 day turn around!!!
How about getting a PSU that already has 12VHPWR port on the PSU and includes the cable?
I got Seasonic GX-1200 for my new build to pair up RTX 4090 FE
Yes these are now available, they were not around when I made this video, plus if you didn’t want the expense of changing your PSU.
I have the Corsair type 5 RM1200x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold ATX 3.0 Fully Modular w/ PCIE 12+4Pins and the new corsair cables are not compatible unfortunately because these new cables are only designed for type 4 PSU
He sounds like Korg from Thor movies
So to this day, Corsair created a cable for the 12vhpwr connector that doesn’t melt ??
Still in use in my PC today.
@@SimHangerFS that’s really great to hear. I’m gonna make the sacrifice and redo all my cables on PC and switch to Corsair psu then. It sucks but it’s worth it if that Corsair cable isn’t melting 4090’s. Thank you for your input.
Why is Corsair lying on their pictures? - the 12V connector has the same physical size as regular 8pin.
Can you write your full pc build? :)
Found, in other your video: "Should you upgrade to Windows 11"
Can i use this cable on Antec High Current Gamer 1000w psu?
Would this connector work with other brand power supplies?
Yes, but you would need to check compatibility.
200 watts on a 4090? You sure its actually pulling what its supposed to? It usually hits over 300 watts when in 4k. Makes me think that its limiting the 4090.
Why can they not make cables with a 90 bend so no bending necessary.
So cards have a bevel on so a 90 deg fitting may not fit or make a full connection.
Will this cable work on the corsair RM 850X ( 2021) ? Just got 4080 super tuf , so need to know if i can use this cable in my 2021 psu. TYIA
Check with manufacturer. Specs change.
why does 4090 need 4 pceis, but this cable only works with two? is this optimal?
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 👍
RM1000x psu?
Can i use this cable for my Corsair RM 750 psu?
Any idea if this cable works for 4090 rog strix OC version? Im using asus thor 1000w psu
I assume so, but don’t know for sure.
Does this cable also works with other psu than corsairs? I have a Be Quiet psu with ATX 3.0 supported.
I don’t know, check manufacturer recommendations.
@@SimHangerFS will this work with Corsair HX1200 V2?
PLEASE CAN YOU CONFIRM that i can use that Corsair cable to connect a PSU Corsair RM850 (2021) to a RTX4080 ?
Refer to the Corsair specifications on their website. I don’t have that PSU
i wont use 2xpcie only, but 4.....it's your fault if it will burn, just use a 90° adapter is better
Will this cable work with EVGA supernova G5 1000w? Thanks
Don’t know, check website for updated info.
no you should only use evga cables
is it compatible with a Corsair RM850x 80 PLUS Gold and a MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X 24G OC?
Check the Corsair website for compatibility.
Looking to upgrade to a msi 4070 ti and a corsair hx850w but I'm not sure if the 850w comes with the 2 8 pins I need for it, do you know if it does?
Check the Corsair site. It will detail cables included.
would the corsair 600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR Type-4 PSU Power Cable on a 4080 work with the corsair rm850x
Check the Corsair website for compatibility info
It takes a special PORON at Nvidia to not have developed an "L Shape" Connector as well as to Angle it toward the back.
🤣
I have the same cable from corsair with a HX1000i psu. I know the cable is compatible with my psu model. However, my 4090 doesn't light up and only the fan spins. Any idea what's going on?
I don’t know, your power supply is more than adequate. Suggest you contact Corsair directly as your not the first to mention issues with a HX PSU.
@@SimHangerFS figured it out. User error, of course. My CPU power wasn't all the way plugged in after fumbling with all the cables. Thank you for the reply!
someone plz answer i got the 4090 suprim X and i got Modcable cable for the 4090 which came with 3 8pin instead of how my card came with the 4 8pin will this still be enough power for my card also if it reached can i plug from my card straight into the psu ?
Will this work if i have a thermaltake psu?
I don’t know, if it is ATX 3.0 then I would think no.
I got this cable for the asus 4090 tuf OC, i got no display. using a hx1200 psu
Both your card and PSU I think would be compatible so should work. Sounds like you may have connected something wrong. Make sure your power ends are connected to the 8 pin slots and not the peripheral 6 pin slots on your PSU. if you removed the GPU check it is seated correctly.
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 😭😂
@@SimHangerFS It doesn't work for me either 😑
@@Silence.Mortal sorry to hear your having problems, your PSU is more than capable. I’ve not had that problem.
@@SimHangerFS Yeah I haven't heard anyone having this problem until I thought to check TH-cam comments on videos talking about this cable. Weird how OP and I both have the exact same PSU/gpu combo. Corsair want me to plug in the cable that I know doesn't work, to demonstrate it not working with pictures so they can send me a new one. Do you think I should oblige or worry about damage?
Does your cable only have two pins in the new 4 added data pins? Also does anyone know if reports have come in about this cable melting at all yet? Or have non melted ?
Non melted that I know of. Yes only two pins as there are only two power connections.
1 year update?
Still in use…same PSU, GPU & PC.
@@SimHangerFS Good to hear. I've been getting serious 4090 anxiety and I don't even have the card yet 😅
Placed the order for a custom build two weeks ago, added the corsair cable (braided version) after seeing your video.
completely blown away by how much power the 4090 DOESNT use. pretty sure my 2080ti is literally sucking more power from the grid than this beast.
Does anyone have any real info on whether or not this is safe being only 16 total pins vs the prescribed 32?
I'm no expert, but this video shows max power limits th-cam.com/video/Qa4A12gQTHw/w-d-xo.html only two cards go above 600w it seems. So I'd imagine this connector would be fine with any other card in this list.
That first gen RM1000x PSU will likely fail and when or if it does it will likely be the green resister inside which you can see through the fan blades to the side of the big capacitors.
Are you saying its flawed? Why is it highly ranked on the cultist PSU list then?
@@kekeke8988 Because its a good PSU when it works, but I'm telling you now the green NTC Resistor will be the failing factor. Your PSU will start to pop when you power it up but will continue to work, but god forbid if you ever put your PC in standby. You will be playing Russian Roulette with it. LOL
Look up NTC resistor Corsair you will find others with similar issues with the same style circuitry, like in the RM1000i etc .
I have corsair rm850e and corsair said i could use the adapter but it would be limited to 300w
Oh…I guess single rail design then.
