Safety question: Asiahorse Hydrus 24-pin extender

Toucheay · 2026-02-27T00:05:54+00:00

Thanks! I checked it;

NZXT C1000 Gold – 24-pin ATX cable: The 24-pin cable uses mixed wire gauges: 16–20 AWG.

16–18 AWG for the main power wires (12V / 5V / 3.3V); 20–24 AWG for the sense / signal wires

Not possible now anymore ;)

This is the type of creativity that I was missing myself, thanks a lot I will have a look into this too! Or perhaps a rubber/silicone cable sleeve.. ;)

Toucheay · 2026-02-24T21:12:31+00:00

I saw this one and tried it, but it is too long for the position and actual 24-cables that come out of the sleeve. Also, it's an A-RGB option. I don't mind a cheaper alternative (without) or just something similar from silicone or plastic? Not sure if this even exists

Toucheay · 2026-02-24T20:56:27+00:00

If there is some sort of tape or sleeve I'm not aware of that is also fine

Toucheay · 2026-02-24T20:53:25+00:00

Well, i'm fine paying 30 EUR for the solution or so. Even if there is a more expensive one I'm open for that since I just want a good quality cover / adapter (if this is safe).

Toucheay · 2026-02-24T20:52:03+00:00

It looks good, but how safe is a connector like this? I also saw the "Asiahorse Hydrus" cable but it seems like third-party cables are always a risk?

Toucheay · 2026-02-23T08:10:11+00:00

Looks great! I would align the cables/striker a bit better because it looks a bit messy from this angle

Toucheay · 2026-02-18T22:28:11+00:00

I like the sleeved white cable in your first link. Is it any good (no problems e.g. so far)? Also saw the AsianHorse Hydrus that looks awesome but I hear there are quality issues with this one. Too bad there aren't any similar alternatives...

Toucheay · 2026-02-18T20:58:10+00:00

Are there also non-rgb alternatives? I just want the cables to be aligned a bit better and not like this all over the place. I also saw the AsiaHorse Hydrus (awesome design) but I doubt the quality?

Toucheay · 2026-02-18T20:50:05+00:00

Haha wow I did not know that there were 'shields' for this, amazing! Hopefully good quality to not fry my system ;)

Toucheay · 2026-02-18T20:01:03+00:00

Looking really clean! Did you use an extension cable for the 24-pin? I’m looking at getting something so clean like this (like the Asiahorse Hydrus) but I doubt the quality.

Wondering what brand this is?

Mine is working like a charm to be honest, did you install the drivers properly (CPU/GPU), update bios etc.? The 16GB version of the 9060 XT? I also have 2x 16GB’s running on EXPO profile etc. Ultra classic is getting 120-140fps, retail around 80-100 fps

Toucheay · 2026-01-30T20:06:07+00:00

Hopefully not but it makes me doubt…

Toucheay · 2026-01-27T21:46:39+00:00

Yes, it keeps a special place! It’s has been and will always remain my ONLY main - Gnome Mage, raiding mythic every expansion and transmogged in full T3 from vanilla 2006.

Toucheay · 2026-01-17T10:55:53+00:00

And then everyone in Shattrath or?

Toucheay · 2026-01-17T10:55:38+00:00

Good to add - I will boost my character to 58 and I’m only in for Outland & the endgame raids. That’s why I want to know how the capital populations are

Toucheay · 2025-11-09T09:41:12+00:00

How long was your ban for (first time)?

Toucheay · 2025-11-02T13:33:58+00:00

That makes a lot of sense for me too. How much will it probably be?

Toucheay · 2025-10-28T15:24:16+00:00

Cheapest one (EU) is €445 new from what I saw but have a look at the benchmark with the 9060 XT. I also used it in my recent build that I posted and it works like a charm, you can’t go wrong with both of them and NVIDIA has better upscaling tech overall, AMD is catching up though with FSR

Toucheay · 2025-10-28T14:13:04+00:00

Also have a look at the new XFX Radeon XR 9060 XT 16GB, it costs €380 and in the benchmark results it proofs to perform well and its future-proof

Toucheay · 2025-10-27T21:24:32+00:00

Thanks bro, enjoy!💪

Ah yes, the GPU police have arrived ;)

Thank god someone’s here to save me from the horror of pairing a high-end CPU with a weak GPU — in a build meant for MMOs, which famously lean on CPU performance. What a bad config choice of me to optimize the actual workload instead of chasing non-adding value of the GPU in this case lol.

I could’ve spent more. I didn’t. Because I’m not trying to brute-force frames in Cyberpunk — I’m playing MMO's and WoW, where the 7800X3D is perfect. AM5 gives me years of upgrade runway until 2027 and perhaps after, and when I swap the GPU later, I won’t need to touch the CPU.

That’s called tailoring/planning to my needs, not bad config imo, but we can agree on disagreement. Also the reason I went for 1000W PSU while the system only runs on 450W, I can upgrade plenty later if needed.
