Issues with RTX 40 graphics power cables burning or melting the connector continue to be a problem that affects many users. The solution, according to Seasonic, to prevent the cable from deteriorating is to bend it slightly, leaving 35mm of space between the connector and the elbow, a process that can be done using a dryer -hair.
Another option is to use the adapter offered by NVIDIA to avoid having to bend the cable, leaving the required 35mm space to avoid problems. If we have a power supply from this manufacturer, we can also choose to use a new cable based on the most modern specifications that it has just presented in the beta phase and which has an angle of 90 degrees, in order to avoid having to heat the cable. excessively correct and prevent part of our PC from stopping working because of the graphics card and power supply.
According to this manufacturer, Seasonic will send for free This new cable is aimed at all users who request it and who have an ATX 3.0/3.1 power supply with the 12VHPWR connector with the straight cable. This new cable is compatible with ATX 3.1 power specifications and has a 12V-2×6 connector.
The design of this cable is based on the latest power and connector specifications of NVIDIA’s RTX 40 range, a connector that is also found among most of this graphics card manufacturer’s partners. For the moment, this cable will only be available to 100 people included in the test program and with an ATX 3.0, Prime, Focus and Vertex power supply. This initial program is limited to users of this manufacturer’s power supplies residing in China.
This cable supports up to 600W output and is compatible with ATX 3.1 and PCIe CEM 5.1 specifications and has mesh embossing. Once the trial period is over, all users wishing to use this new 90 degree angle cable will be able to ask for it on the site of this manufacturer via a form that will be activated once the process is completed. However, given that some RTX 40 models have the connector turned, it is likely that this cable will not fit all graphics cards, so it is important to know this beforehand since the solution is to run the cable around from the menu.
The graphics card, especially the RTX 40 range, is the most modern and expensive that can currently be found on the market, so saving a few dollars on a poor quality cable is only useful for loading the power supply so much and/or the graph. If we want to avoid any type of problems, it is advisable to use the cables and adapters offered by both NVIDIA and its partners and power supply manufacturers.
