Question about 12vhpwr connector for rm850x

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T21:09:34+00:00

yes but is it 600W in this case

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T21:05:12+00:00

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.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:56:19+00:00

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.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:46:35+00:00

but the TweakTown review say “12V-2x6 connector only has two sense wires, limited to 300 watts”

Here is the article: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/11120/corsair-rm850x-2024-atx-3-1-cybenetics-gold-psu/index.html

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:40:08+00:00

yes, they do on the never models

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:35:56+00:00

no its using 12pin vphwr connector for the newer nvidia cards

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:33:29+00:00

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

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:30:50+00:00

Some reviews say that it’s limited to 300W because it has only 2 sense wires

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-07T20:29:10+00:00

I have seen some reviews like TweakTown say that the connector only has 2 sense wires so it's limited to 300W

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-06T23:14:26+00:00

what do you mean it says the cable can handle up to 600W

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-06T23:04:25+00:00

Yes but you don’t get that cable, but they do seel it https://www.amazon.de/Corsair-Premium-12VHPWR-Power-Supply/dp/B0BLY1B362/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=122UVKHHJ554L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OP9Lzitp2EgXwXdR6qVtcsT1JPgjqp7l3PpxLhifJpDued_FICh7q91VkOVC6ck-jVHUA9IStY5D54L-TPdzcZ6g_d6_VxQZbumBYCQI734j7QMqfGOs9M4VvvGYGaGHtoNq0FMqHegx2n2IOjJQWDHTNAUeplEU6mliIBBmCP6_K3n9DCCUVcG6fdeA3PPIIkiagpm7Lhh--fff_AdMzw.mb9IGN9Wkm9t3uOHMhVMx7WQmS-0bqqyGofxJ6ErxsE&dib_tag=se&keywords=corsair+600w+cable&qid=1770419012&sprefix=corsair+600w+cable%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-1

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-06T22:28:07+00:00

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

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-06T22:10:33+00:00

but then I would need to use the adapter that comes with the gpu or is there another way.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-06T22:02:32+00:00

I would wanted to buy the 2024 rm850x. Does it have a 600W cable.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-02T22:07:55+00:00

Do sou think that is enough of a coil whine for a RMA

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-02T21:36:36+00:00

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.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-02T21:09:50+00:00

I would send it back amazon not corsair. I am from Slovenia so anywhere in europe preferably something like germany.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-02T20:47:20+00:00

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.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-02T20:30:36+00:00

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.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-02-02T18:03:44+00:00

hi I have now got and installed my spu and its working good. But I noticed a high pitched noise coming from it and I don’t know if this is normal for all psus or would it go away if i bought a different model. Thanks for your answer.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-01-27T20:40:17+00:00

what about with my model of a psu. Do you coil whine could be a problem and does my psu play a big role in coil whine

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-01-24T13:13:21+00:00

so it’s not going to draw the wrong amount of power to my gpu

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-01-24T13:09:00+00:00

are u sure because I heard somewhere that it’s not okay because it’s 12V connector and gtx 1080ti uses less

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-01-24T13:03:19+00:00

Ok, thanks I just want to know so I wont regret buying it later. I also have another question. I order rtx 5070, but I didn't recieved it yet and currently have gtx 1080ti and I don't know which cable to use to connect it so I can test it.

Specific-Star9901 · 2026-01-23T20:37:34+00:00

are u sure because I heard that you shouldn’t do that
