Title, the Adaptor for the 12pin to 2, 8pins looks too short to plug into your power supply. Will it be?

you plug the 2 8 pin not directly to the psu. to the 6+2 pin or the 8 pin

Oh so the adapter plugs into the cables, thanks im a dumbass lmao!

It's still too short! It would've been nice to be able to hide the connectors.

What you get with the card will be a supported adapter.
There will likely be some longer versions to come on to the market.

Then, also, power supply makers are going to offer pcie cables that plug directly into their psu ports.
Seasonic is one. That means no adapter at all.

Except for you can't get the Seasonic cable because they had to recall it because they used the wrong connector.

It could never be. It's an adapter for your 8 pin PCIE cables, not to plug into your modular power supply. There's no such thing as any universal plug that can go into a modular power supply; different manufacturers use different pinouts on the PSU end because those are not remotely standardized.

Doh! Sounds like someone jumped the gun.
