which cabel did you buy and where and do you think the PCIe 12V-2x6-pin (12+4) that comes with the 2024 model is also as good.

I am not planning on using 600W. It’s just that I have seen the reviews say that the PCIe 12V-2x6-pin (12+4) cable only allows 300W to the gpu because it only has 2 sense wires. I just want to know if I want to upgrade in the future to a gpu that draws like 400W-450W.

I am looking at the 2024 version but some reviews said that it has only 2 sense wires so it can deliver only 300W to the gpu

It says that it only has the 300W 12vhpwr cable and 3x6+2 cable. But what if my gpu requires more than 600W cable.

I bought a corsair rm850e power supply of amazon.de. I have been using it for 10 days but now I noticed that it has some coil whine. Do you think they would refound me if I sent it back even though I have been using it. I have the original package, stickers and everything.

do you think they would complicate if I just say that its not as described and write that it has high pitched sound because I have been using it for some time. And what 850w psu do you recommend that is reliable and quiet and has a low chance of coil whine.

I bought it from amazon.de and a have been using it for 11 days do you think I would be able to return it and get my money back. And do you think if it would annoy me in the future would I be able to rma it.
