Can someone help me out here on the power problems that went on for the past year? "The unit includes a 12VHPWR connector."

Good, but weren't all of those modified with 2x6 connections on the GPU end and the PSU end with an updated 12VHPWR connection with sorter pins and a more firm and stable lock-in? Or is this the same old 12VHPWR connector that everyone knew was a big problem and that were melting left and right?

I just built 8 months ago when all of this was happening, and to this day I don't really know if the connection on my new 4080 GPU has the updated connector (they said NVidia was "quietly" updating all the connectors on the 4- series GPU) or if the new Corsair Shift 1200 Watt PSU had that newer connector.

I would assume all new PSUs coming out have the latest, updated, better connector. Do they still call the updated connector 12VHPWR? I thought it was now called (12V-2x6). I thought that was the fix for the problem. I thought 12VHPWR was now taboo and had to have the update....

For example, the Tom's review of the Corsair RM850x Shift 850W ATX 3.1 PSU last week clearly stated that the PSU had the updated 12vHPWR connector (12V-2x6) Power connector allowing shorter pins. But the Shift 1200 I bought when it came out does not? It didn't have a 12VHPWR connector at all if I recall but utilizes a cable that splits to two 8-pin PCIe connectors on the PSU side. Confusing, and I don't know if I still have that initial potential meltdown problem or if it is solved.

You will never know if will melt or not fore sure the better way to last longer is undervolting.

Some folks here in Brazil put these 80 plus standard to shame they call fake plus. I try to find cybernetics test or hard reviews to get a power supply. Feel safe keeping away that nvidia connector. For how long I do no.
