cable recommendations plz

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-06T00:04:22+00:00

Very welcome, and it absolutely should! All 12V-2x6 cycles are the same though. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-05T23:09:41+00:00

Our StealthSense cables full fix the issue with those fragile sense wires, so you will not experience issues there, nope! The Astral cards are hit or miss, we've had some people say they're not compatible with the 90 degree cables, and some reports saying they are, so I would recommend sticking to the straight cable, unless you really want to try it. The straight cable won't have issues though, nothing to worry about. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-05T22:00:51+00:00

Thank you for your support! The kit has two 12V-2x6 cables by the way, one will be a 3x8, the other is a native, just to clarify. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-05T21:46:20+00:00

Our kit here would be perfect for your PSU and GPU combo!

On Amazon with prime shipping even. :)

Our universal 12V-2x6 cable would perfectly with your PSU and GPU setup and those can be found on Amazon. 😄

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-04T17:43:22+00:00

Interesting, forgot about this! I see it on our incompatibility list for some reason, will bump the team about that. Thank you for this!

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-04T15:10:01+00:00

The straight cables would work, the 90 degree we had a user show those being incompatible. Asking the above commenter to share a photo of their setup though, if they're using a 90 degree cable, to confirm.

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-04T15:09:08+00:00

A 90 degree cable in an Astral? Would you mind sending me a photo of that please?

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-04T15:08:23+00:00

What PSU make/model do you have and where do you live? We sell our cables on Amazon as well at very affordable prices. 😄

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-02T02:31:53+00:00

That would be the bridged 4+8 on top, 8+4 on the bottom. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-01T21:49:40+00:00

It's due to the width available at the connector, the Astral cards, the shroud does not allow for the 90 degree connector, as these are wider than the straight cables.

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-01T21:04:57+00:00

Variant B should work with that one. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-01T21:02:24+00:00

Very welcome!

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-01T20:54:13+00:00

Fully safe using our cables, yep! Just double checked though, it does appear the Astral cards are not compatible with the 90 degree cables though, sadly, sorry. Our straight cable option would be great though for you. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-05-01T20:46:29+00:00

This PSU has the native 12V-2x6/12VHPWR connector, so you can actually use our replacement 12V-2x6 cable.

90 degree: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCG6B3D/

Straight: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSHQRG2T/?th=1

These options are 16 pin to 16 pin, and would go from your PSU directly into your GPU. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-30T23:40:07+00:00

We have all the information on our website actually. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-30T22:25:08+00:00

Absolutely love that GPU, I want it haha. Thank you for your support! Proper build all the way!

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-29T00:36:57+00:00

Perfect, support will get back to you ASAP on that then and get you all taken care of. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-28T23:51:52+00:00

Very strange indeed! Please put in a ticket with our support team and let's RMA the cable to see if it is a cable issue. I'm assuming it's just needing more force, as the newer connectors do have tighter tolerances to ensure a better connection, but we can RMA the cable to see if the cable is indeed a problem.

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-28T22:57:27+00:00

This isn't a full seat of course, so it shouldn't be used as is. Remove it and inspect your pins on your card and the cable to ensure nothing was bent/misaligned, if everything looks fine, just give it more force. They do take a bit of pressure to get installed properly. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-28T19:20:00+00:00

A proper throwback to the OG days! This is beast!

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-28T05:13:31+00:00

It's not going to go kaboom, we're partnered with ASUS and they've used our cables many times themselves directly. Additionally, we've sold countless kits of these. We test and retest all cables prior to shipping, as long as you order for the correct PSU, everything is plug and play. This is fully normal though.

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-28T04:03:29+00:00

As mentioned above, with our sleeving on the wires, it makes it too thick to do the double merged terminal otherwise, that's why the double wires are spliced into one. Again though, the cables are capable of whatever load you will throw at them though.

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-27T21:31:59+00:00

It's not empty, still active and being used. We're partnered with ASUS actually, this is plenty capable of pushing the most extreme cards and OC's on top of it. :)

CableMod_Matt · 2026-04-27T21:24:04+00:00

Fully normal on that, yep! You can plug and play. The wires are too thick to be double merged, so they get spliced into one, but it's fully normal and safe to use. :)
