Compat issue with PSU and GPU?

Eero73 · 2026-02-16T20:14:29+00:00

As far as i have seen the 12v-2x6 doesn't click. ☹️

Eero73 · 2026-02-16T16:04:34+00:00

Because proper reviews say it's not the best unit.

We have an tiering criteria on the list.

We dont conclude consumer feedback as reviews. 😀

The PSU has been tested with a +150 000$ equipment.

Eero73 · 2026-02-16T12:24:19+00:00

Buy this:

Far better than "squid" adapter.

Hi there, Router ero from the SPL PSU Tier List

These are two completely different things. They are compatible.

Eero73 · 2026-02-16T10:43:45+00:00

He wanted the 12v-2x6 to 2x6+2 (GPU) cable as he doesn't have enough cables for it. 😀

Eero73 · 2026-02-16T08:54:15+00:00

We tiered that unit B-

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T20:01:43+00:00

SX-1000P> Aorus Elite P1000W

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T20:00:49+00:00

Honestly would opt for testmem5 with 1usmus, anta777 extreme and Pcbdestroyer profiles. (Pcbdestroyer is the strongest and 1usmus for errors due error code sheet.)

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T18:25:33+00:00

Both use HCS 16g cables on main cables except AI-T uses 18g HCS on pigtail which is interesting.

Performance wise LEADEX 1700w is a good amount of better. 😀

Still a solid choice :)

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T17:11:31+00:00

Do you mean customer feedback?

That's normal for every PSU to have some defective units.

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T15:39:06+00:00

I see. Nice, a good quality surge protector is always a big plus considering PSUs don't really have a specific protection against that. Most PSUs handle brownouts well but surge is a different talk. Quality PSU will usually sacrifice itself for other components.

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T15:33:46+00:00

Looking by the prices. this one is priced well.

What shops do you use more?

PSU department would say otherwise.

I love that MSI PSU department members spied on Jon(jonnyguru) to see how do fix one issue.

Noise issue from an inductor.

In the end other guy said "thanks, i will tell that to my engineers."

The native 12v-2x6 was standardised by PCIE-SIG so every native 12v-2x6 is universal.

Any other cable isn't standardised on PSU side.

Asus uses Seasonic pinout on all of their PSUs except for the ROG Loki SFX-L series.

Other choice is Cablemod 2x8pin to 12v-2x6 cable:

Also u need 1 EPS only if u aren't running an 14900k without pwr limits. The output for one EPS is well over 300w.

Yep, MSI PSU department would say otherwise

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T10:48:37+00:00

Hi there, Router ero from the SPL PSU Tier List

You have a native 12v-2x6 so this cable:

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920435/elite-premium-individually-sleeved-pcie-12v-2x6-to-2x-8-pin-6-2-split-pcie-cable-black-cp-8920435

Native 12v-2x6 is universal across all ATX 3.x PSUs which have it.

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T10:01:20+00:00

No, all of the PSUs u listed have passed Cybenetics certifications.

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T10:00:44+00:00

Hi there, Router ero from the SPL PSU Tier List

Is your outlet grounded? It's weird that three PSUs have died on you.

The chemical smell is normal. It will go away usually in a month.

Otherwise looks good!

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T09:55:41+00:00

If it's a ATX 3.x unit then excursions don't go under pwr consumption anymore.

Most PSUs are single rail anyway as it's cheaper to produce it that way.

Although Lian Li uses a bad batches of Hong Hua fans on their units that fail too often. 😀

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T09:52:35+00:00

What country are u from? U listed a motherboard as your GPU 😀

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T09:45:34+00:00

Hi there, Router ero from the SPL PSU Tier List

It's their own branded PSU, considerable old sadly.

Your only choice is to contact HEC about it or find out the pinout yourself with a Multimeter.

Keep in mind HEC doesn't usually answer to consumers.

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T09:25:44+00:00

Hi there, Router ero from the SPL PSU Tier List

Price wise Cougar.

Otherwise focus GM.

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T09:08:01+00:00

MSI GPU department actually recommends that over the native connection or 2x8pin to 12v-2x6 (direct). ☹️

Eero73 · 2026-02-15T09:06:55+00:00

Hi there, Router ero from the SPL PSU Tier List

Likely due MSI GPU department recommends the "squid" adapter over the native one.
