[SOLVED] RGB Cable

[JosieGoth]

Anyone know if there's a company that sells a triple version of these kinds of cables? I've looked all over Newegg and Amazon.

Note: I don't mean from Lian Li specifically, just any company that sells a triple 6 + 2 pin PCI-E cable version.

Triple 6+2 pin PCIe cables/connectors? Are you asking for sleeved cables for your build? Make and model of your PSU? LianLi are the only company out there that has a cable kit that's like that.

Couldn't you just use any PCI-E cable with any PSU, though? Or does it really have to be from the same make and model?

I'm talking about RGB cables.

Modular PSU cables do not conform to any standards so ones from one PSU may or may not work on another PSU, even if they are both from the same company.
Using the wrong cables for your PSU can even destroy your hardware, drives are the most common to get damaged.

so your looking for RGB PSU cables then? I'm assuming you want them for the GPU connector cables since you asked about 6+2

I didn't mean that exact kit from Lian Li, I mean any RGB cables. Lian Li only sells dual GPU connectors (2 x 6+2-pin). What I am looking for is one for an Asus 3080 (3 x 6+2-pin).

Still no 3 version, eh? Guess I'll just have to wait.

 

[popatim]

no, you'll need to buy 2. Three 8pin connectors would probably exceed that rating of the wiring or connector on the PSU end.

Would something like an ARGB splitter work?

They are just extensions 8-pin on both ends, it's not like they are splitters or adapters.

Not true, these plug into an ARGB header on the motherboard

I was talking about the power connection(as was popatim) not the RGB connection/header.

Ah I see, the power supply isn't the issue, the RGB connector is.

 

[popatim]

theres two connection types on an RGB/ARGB power cable. The power connectors and the led connections.

yes but a 6+2 is the same as an 8pin which has a theoretical limit of 150w. Three such PEG connectors all drawing max their max load (=450w)would probably exceed the wattage rating of the connector on the PSU (if modular) and/or the wiring itself. Remember there is still only 8 wires coming from the PSU which normally feeds 2 (ie 300w) connectors. That's a 50% overload.

Yes, I know. I'm asking if a splitter would work for three of these.

For the rgb it'll be fine.
On the psu side does your psu have 3 8-pin pci-e connectors?

Yes, it has 5. It's an 850w Corsair HXi.

Yes, it has 5. It's an 850w Corsair HXi.

Not to mention, most GPU come with their own PCI-E cables too.
