Going back a bit.....

Why do you believe or what is the reason for getting new cables with respect to "get ready" for the 5090?

Details needed.

I want to dress up my case more. Is that GPU cable i have selected will that work with 50 series ?

The 5xxx GPUs are not released yet. No one can tell.

Wait.

 

[Ralston18]

Regarding "dress up my case"?

No.

Strive for a stable system with steady and reliable performance.

New/pretty GPU cables do not do that.

And just adds cost.

Forget the "eye candy".

honestly its best to actually wait and see there's been some improvements with the connector and honestly given the fact these connectors where melting then I would say wait and see a while zero point of buying a fire hazard.

They're listed as compatible with your PSU, but definitely wait for CableMod to verify on the 5090.
The specs on paper are of course fine, but there have been issues, and it would be a very expensive dice roll.

I might just buy the MB and CPU ones and wait for confirmation

yeah id wait at least 2-3 months and yes i know thats painful wait time but it gives a bit of time to see if there any tech issues or other problems crop up.

I agree better to not have a problem

I would not count on it given you OC stuff.

And yes, I'm aware that 5090 recommended PSU is 1000w. But I'm talking from experience with 3080Ti version, where 750w PSU too was supposed to be enough, except it wasn't and I had edge case crashes in some 2 specific games, until I upgraded PSU.

Now not to say it will be the case here, but if you end up having an odd crash here and there in specific games - don't be surprised.

Thanks for the reply. I might need to grab the 1200 Thor and throw this one on the test bench

If you're going to be upgrading PSU, might as well go 1500+, because keep in mind that PSUs degrade by a few % every year and who knows what you will want to do a few years on. If you're already shopping for 5090, then I imagine the price diff between 1200 and 1500w PSU won't really matter to you.

Who knows, maybe in 4 years there will be 7090 that will totally knock everyone socks off that will make you salivate at it, but it will come with 800w tag and you'd be back to square one.

Of course, do try first of all with current PSU. Maybe it will be fine after all.

Thats a excellant point. I remember back when we were at 10 series cards people were saying you dont need so much power and that 1000w PSU were going to be obsolete. No one can predict the future with all this stuff

I want to get the CPU to PSU cable because the one that came with my Asus Thor 1000 p2 isnt as long as i like were its pulled a little too snug for my liking. Im using the helios. My question is which one should i get from cable mod the double 8pin or 2 single 8 i have a Z790-E MB

 

[Aeacus]

which one should i get from cable mod the double 8pin or 2 single 8 i have a Z790-E MB

4+4-pin 12V EPS is what you need.
8-pin is PCI-E, with different pinout. That is for the GPU.

And i'd get 2x 4+4-pin 12V EPS cables. While one suffices, the 2nd cable provides more voltage stability to your CPU. 2nd cable is especially needed when you use Core i7/i9 and/or are OC'ing the CPU.

Can you pass on a picture to show how snug the connector is on your motherboard? In fact, if the connector isn't being subjective to too much force and bending you're not in trouble.

You mean if you should hook up both 8pin EPS connectors on the motherboard?

The connector labelled ATX_12V_1 is the main connector between the 2x EPS connectors which is the one you should hook up regardless. The secondary connector is if you're pursuing overclocking. IMHO, you should hook up both.\

Would you be interested in getting a custom cable length that matches your color scheme? You could look into people who use MDPC-X.

 

[SydneyAngel]

Some reason they dont have 4+4 12v Eps
they 8 pin EPS and bridged 8+8 EPS plus they have single 4 pin eps

I did want to get white to make the cable mod 16 pin for my GPU that one is mod mesh how do you feel about the complete set of cable mod extensions ?

 

[SydneyAngel]

I was looking at these https://www.amazon.com/AsiaHorse-12...=8-24&xpid=E4B5RLcO2pzdg&th=1#customerReviews

 

[Aeacus]

how do you feel about the complete set of cable mod extensions ?

Extensions increase ripple. And increased ripple increases system instability, especially when OC'ing.

So, better to buy full CableMod set that replaces all your PSU's power cables (like i've done with all 3x of my builds, specs and pics in my sig), rather than buying extensions.

This is NOT CableMod product. Instead looks like some cheap knock-off. AsiaHorse brand, that i have never heard of. Can melt and kill your hardware. So, better buy reputable brand.

CableMod RT-series cables are compatible with your PSU,
lineup: https://cablemod.com/products/?orderby=date&filter_series=rt-series&show_products=90

Or use custom configurator to make your own length/color cable,

Here's the diff between ModMesh and ModFlex cables,

The CableMod cables i have (all 3x different color sets) are all ModFlex.

 

[SydneyAngel]

I ended up going with your first suggestion https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077QRC37B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
It was under $20 usd. I dont want to spend alot of money on cables and if this works out i might buy the 24 pin one they have

Actually i didnt your point on rippling. that sounds concerning so im changing direction and just going with there config
