the cables going over their limit and melting giving a nice eau de plastic smell to the room as well as possibly destroying the 8 pin on the card 🙃

oh I totally understand you and Im just as sketched out about it as I dont know how power is drawn and if it is an equal distribution or if the first port is maxed out then the second and so on. I feel like it would be safe for the time being as long as no heavy benchmarks were done to really...

looking at reviews of it, the card seems to max at 350-360 watt draw. So if it was the 2 cables giving it 150 and then the pcie slot giving 75 that would be over the load draw. In that case, would the y cable still be a point of failure? All other 3080s from what I see only use 2 8pins and I...

yeah that was my worry with that. If the wire was 16awg it likely would be fine but the 18awg rating of it has me iffy on using one cable for 2 8 pins

With the msi trio 3080 I saw it has 3 8 pin power connectors on it and I wanted to know if it would be safe to run it with 2 separate 8 pins (18awg) with one being daisy chained until a psu with 3 separate 8 pin cables would arrive. By safe I mean, no system crashes (other than drivers or new...

thank you and everyone else so much. I swear im a certified IT admin lmao. Ive never seen a corsair psu before and it confused the hell out of me.

didnt even notice that. makes much more sense that way. so would all 5 of those be like dual purpose pcie/cpu in this case? so like 2 of those 8 pins for cpu and 3 for gpu?

looking at the picture again, I see 5 8 pin connectors. There are 4 on the bottom row and 1 on the top left. The top left one is different from the bottom 4 which are all identical from what I can see so im assuming its for the cpu. However, if three of those are for pcie, what is the last 8 pin...

oh when I said that I meant my psu has 2 cables and only 2 connectors for said 2 cables. So the rm850x can use all 3 8 pin cables at the same time? As well as having 2 cables for cpu power as well? Im too used to evga labeling where every connector is labeled so I dont have to guess what the...

Hi, I might be getting a 3080 soon but it will require 3 8 pins and my psu only has 2 cables/connectors for pci. I tried to look at the product page but the way they have it labeled confuses me so I can't tell how many pcie/vga connectors there are and how many cpu ones there are. Could anyone...

completely forgot to put my storage setup in my post lul. I currently have a 970 pro 500gb as my boot drive and a 1tb 860 evo as my games/other stuff drive. So having a 8700 shouldn't really limit a possible 3080/ti in its performance theoretically? The thing I was mainly looking at was the 8...

I figured at 1440p it wouldnt be a big bottleneck point if it did as thats where the gpu just gets wrenched for everything it has at higher resolutions than 1080. if I theoretically did buy the 9700k, how much headroom do you think i'd have with it for OC with a proposed say 320w tdp gpu? I just...

Hey all, So right now I noticed the i7 9700k is $150 cheaper than normal price for the next day and am pretty tempted to buy it as $425 is better than $570 lmao. I also plan on getting an rtx 3080/3080ti when they release hopefully next month to replace my 1070. However my worry is that my psu...

sorry for double reply, but you said "Sounds like you put the left/right retention brackets on upside down" are there multiple ways for them to go and is there a dedicated left/right/up/down bracket or is it just either or as long as they are facing the right way such as curved side pointed out.

thanks for the response. I followed the instructions to a T and as far as I can tell it is all fine. the bracket is on the back of the motherboard as normal placed over the cpu socket plate, the plastic "Standoffs" put over each of the protruding points on the main side of the board and then the...
