Question Cabling between be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W, fully modular, and an RTX 4070ti

[Daynhg]

HI.

Looking at buying this PSU
be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W, fully modular.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083T9STQS/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
To be used when I purchase, an RTX 4070ti.

I asked the question on Amazon.
Would the PSU have all the cables with it to connect to the 4070ti.

The answer I received was.
"If you're referring to the 12VHPWR cable then no.
My 1000w model did not.
If you Google 'BC072' you will find the correct cable from BeQuiet"

So, I googled the 'BC072', and 12VHPWR cable, and both say they are for the 4080, and 4090, no mention of the 4070ti?

With this PSU, would I need to buy one of these cables, for the 4070ti, and if so which one please.

Thank you, for any help.

Which SPECIFIC model of 4070 ti are you looking to purchase? Saying "xxxxx" graphics card family requires "xxxxx" cables is almost always a no go because even among the same tier family you can have anything from requires no auxiliary power to requires an 8 pin, or one model requires only a pair of 8 pins while another requires the 16 pin 12vhpwr and yet another might require three 8 pins. So the exact model is needed to have any idea of what is actually required for a given card.

Hi
Darkbreeze

Sorry, I didn't see the reply until just now.

Thank you so much for the help.

The GPU's would either be.

MSI GeForce GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPRIM X 12G Gaming Graphics Card - 12GB GDDR6X, 2790 MHz, PCI Express Gen 4, 192-bit, 3x DP v 1.4a, HDMI 2.1a

or

MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING X TRIO 12G Gaming Graphics Card - 12GB GDDR6X, 2760 MHz, PCI Express Gen 4, 192-bit, 3x DP v 1.4a, HDMI 2.1a

Sorry for the long descriptions. I figured I could have just put "Suprim, etc, or Tri etc.
But more info is hopefully helpful.

My board isn't the greatest. (MSI MAG B560M MORTAR WIFI Micro ATX LGA1200)
But I would also be upgrading my i5 11400f to either Core i9-10900K, or a Core i9-11900K.
Its odd but the 10900k has a higher review score, and from what I can see and higher GHz. Even though it's a previous series, and a year older.

I checked on Parts Picker, and it all seems to fit.
The rest of the existing kit being.
be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler.
2 SSDs, 1 HDD, 4 case fans. 64gb DDR4 ram.
No OC'ing on anything.

Its not a great system, but Im trying to give it a little OOMPH with the GPU/CPU upgrade.

I just hope the PSU will be enough to run the system, I didn't really want to go 1000w

But Parts picker gives the warning about the cables, so honestly, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Those graphics cards come with adapter 2x PCIE 8pin to 12VHPWR.

Absolutely not. I don't know where you are looking, but wherever it is, I'd suggest you not use that site or resource anymore. The 10900k falls behind the 11900k in both single core performance and multithreaded performance, as you would expect.

Hi
SkyNetRising


Thank you so much for the reply.
So I take it that they will already have the correct cable. The one you pictured. That will work between either one of those cards, and the be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W, fully modular ?

Thank you so much. 💎

Hi
Darkbreeze

Thank you for the reply. Although I was a little surprised that this was the information you gave back, considering the questions I asked in the post.

TBH, I didn't research this, it was just my limited knowledge, and an opinion based on what it showed in the title, on Amazon UK.
So, I just assumed by the title the 10 was more powerful.
Mea culpa.

The two pages linked below.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0883NZ...olid=2RAZ8UFM7FWU9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
The i9-10900K showing it was a (base stroke: 3.70GHz)

And the
i9-11900K (3.5 GHz / 5.3 GHz)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08TX48...olid=2RAZ8UFM7FWU9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Seemingy lower at 3.5GHz.

I didn't look into it deeply.
As the cable, between the cards, and the PSU.
Also, the power of the 850 running the described kit being the real query.

But it is good to know the i9-11900K (3.5 GHz / 5.3 GHz) is a much better CPU, as they are relatively the same price. 💎

Yes.

Guys.
I hope you don't mind me asking one last question.
That no matter how much I Google, and try to find out a definitive answer illudes me.

I thank you for the brilliant help, and guidance on this thread.
And after all of the information did some research.

The card as shown on this (time stamped video So its only 3 seconds watching.) Now comes with 3 x 8 pin, to 1 x 16 pin 12VHPWR cable.

View: https://youtu.be/4aJYcZbciAc?t=51


But the PSU.
Only has 1 port with 8 slots.
The rest being either 10 or 12.

⤵ For picture.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083T9S...id=2RAZ8UFM7FWU9&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it_im&th=1

I have looked on their official site, and also on part picker, who says its compatible without any further purchased cabling.

And on Google it says, when asking the question. "be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W, fully modular how many pcie 6+2 ports does this have?"
Gives this info. Pasted. ⤵
Cables and connectors

Modular cables	✓
PCI-e 6+2-pin ( GPU )	4
PCI-e 6-pin ( GPU )	-
SATA	11
PATA	4

The question is.
Will PCIE 8 pin plugs, work in 12 pin sockets?

I didn't want to start a new thread. I hope you dont mind the cry for help, And really would appreciate any help on this. I tried to find out without having to ask again.

Regards.

Your PSU has 3x PCIE 8 (6+2) pin cables. One of those has 2 connectors.
PSU ends of those cables have 12pins.

Hi.
SkyNetRising

Thank you so much for the reply.

The card comes with the cable, shown in that video, which have 3 x 8-pin plugs that go into the PSU.

I read you said, "
Your PSU has 3x PCIE 8 (6+2) pin cables. One of those has 2 connectors.
PSU ends of those cables have 12pins. "

But, for the GPU I would be using the cable that comes with the card.

What I really wanted, needed, to know is.
Will the GPUs 3 cable with the 3 PCIE ends, that are only 8-pin go into this PSU. as it has PCIE sockets of 12 not 8.


Will the cable that guy shows on the video, fit into this PSU?
Do those 8-pin PCIE cables, need to fill every hole in the 12 pin ports?
Or will the 8-pin cables plug into them. And work. Leaving 4 holes in the PSUs 12 hole ports empty?

I realise it must seem such an easy thing if you know, but I can't buy the card, an PSU until I know they will be compatible.

Thank you for your help.
It is very much appreciated.

Just use the factory bequite cable and forget about adapters, that is what I always tell people.

You plug bequiet psu cables into PSU. This gives you four 6+2pin plugs.
You plug three of those 6+2pin plugs into nvidia adapter, that comes with graphics card. This gives you 12VPWR plug.
You plug 12VHPWR plug into graphics card.

No, No and No.
You do not plug nvidia cable into PSU. Unless you want to kill your PSU and/or graphics card.

I had seen these cables but wanted to know if they PSU/GPU were compatible without this.

I appreciate the help, and the link.
Thank you.

This was helpful.
