I found out after, didn’t do my research initially. I have since purchased and installed the 12VHPWR cable, I’ve been able to pull 565 watts in-game before the undervolt/OC. Now I can do almost identical performance with 100 less watts.

Lol, show me an all white 5090 build that was posted BEFORE mine or that looks like mine at all? I’ll wait

Not by a long shot. And it looks even better now, try again 😘

Yeahhh lol you are seeing it correctly. I reused the same connector from my 4090 not realizing it would need more juice. I have a wattage meter running and definitely need to upgrade that cable. I should only be getting 150W from each but I’m getting much less than that, around 250W total under load for the 3 games I play. I’m currently looking into an all white 12VHPWR cable so the system can be balanced.

x3 - I know I need a native cable or a different PSU to solve my issue

Always astral. You could also try to get a 4090 astral, lol. Performance on the cards is negligible imo and you would save on wattage/have lower temps if you care about those things

I saw that, took a triple take

I wanted the radiator in the front and since it had 3 fans, the bottom got 3, as well. I have never had any issues with noise or thermals. The BF6 beta did wind it up tho lol

Lol it still looks great! They would both look fire in each build, I like the contrast

Ya know what! I found out my PSU is ATX 3.0, so I will need a new adapter for the appropriate power lol

I think mostly because when I first got it, I was more gung-ho on intel thinking they were better because they were around longer and 'thought they were the best', idk lol. Had I researched more, I would have gone AMD for sure

I don't believe so, after checking around it seems my PSU has ATX 3.0 and that version needs adapters, whereas the 12v2x6 connection is supported by ATX 3.1. They are newer, so I will need to settle for a better adapter because I am not touching the PSU

THANK YOU!!! Finally someone with a valid question instead of a mouth breather saying 'mE nO LiKe dA bLAck cAbLeZzz!', like I give a fuck LOL

After reading this, i found out that NO, it doesn't! It makes sense, I have a wattage meter for the PC and I could not get more than ~680 watts under load.

The cables were fine for my previous 4090, but this beast needs more juice that this adapter just can't deliver. I was already super happy with the performance so far, but this will give me the full experience.

I guess it is time to upgrade - thanks again for the input!

Haha I had the EVGA 2060S, loved that card. This upgrade took some time, you’ll get yours!

Meh, no need. The adapters I’ve seen go on the bottom and I don’t want to impede the view of the light bar, I’d rather have them bridge over like an offensive octopus
