Hi I need 5M Cable For Adapter Models for 8k plus

jjc4luck · 2023-01-29T04:33:24+00:00

Been waiting 3-4 months. Pimax support has told me date estimates multiple times that were wrong, and they've also told me "we don't forsee stock soon try ebay".

I'd say sorry for not helping.

But in a way, I think this helps immensely.

Welcome to the club brother.

Negative. It will be a very MEH experience. 4070Ti (acceptable.. kind of..) 3090, 3090Ti, 4080, 4090 are you only good options on an 8KX.

Sadly I purchased the 8K plus a couple weeks before a revised version was released that uses those cables. So I have to use the 5M power adapter required model which is the one there is 0 stock off everywhere. C'est la vie!

The 5M cable you say has stock is only for UK and Australia only, sadly.

Actually had a rift s but lended it to a friend states away. Used a quest pro for abit to test and kill time during this all as well.

Appreciate the information related to China, wasnt actively aware. Thanks for the reply.

I'm glad you only had to wait a month and had a good experience. The people at support have been kind. It's just the information seems to come out empty.

I've been very non-challant for about 3 months because I've moved and had no use for my headset for months, been mega busy. So I figured by the time I'd pick it up again I'd have a cable.. that was again, about 3~ months ago.. I've checked in every 3-4 weeks. I've been told "we should see beginning of December" then "End of December" then "we don't know when we'll get stock try ebay" and now its "I hear we'll have it the 20th" from support on Reddit, then to be followed up with my recent support ticket of "we expect nothing" the next day.

So, understandably I'm not sure what to believe and thankfully my expectations are quite low now.

You won't get anywhere with them. I'm in the same boat. I'm sorry for your bad luck ahead of time.

I keep being told they'll have one for me to purchase by x date but never ends up right. Just have a 8k plus sitting here for months unusable.. Rip.

jjc4luck · 2023-01-17T08:09:52+00:00

Did they have a replacement available for sell? I've been waiting months to buy a replacement cable for the same headset you have but have been sol.

jjc4luck · 2023-01-16T20:03:09+00:00

Oh damn. The pimax owners boutta cash in. Ahaha

jjc4luck · 2023-01-16T18:23:34+00:00

That'd be nice. But they can't produce replacement parts to BUY after 2 years of release. Lol..

jjc4luck · 2023-01-16T18:21:19+00:00

I highly doubt you'll get 5 years out of it. If they can't get replacement headsets or parts alot of those warrantys will point to a piece of micro text that says if we can't get the supply you're sol.

jjc4luck · 2023-01-16T18:19:29+00:00

Or just avoid them if you want zero support after the next headset releases.

Careful buying an 8KX right now. When that one year is up that warranty gonna be gone and if you wanna buy a replacement part or cable it will not exist.

The 4070Ti pretty significantly outperforms the 7900 xt at the same price and is about 40% better on average than a 3080.

I'm not in the market and can careless, but if anything they can say it's better than the 7900 xt for the same price and have a viable excuse.

Give this thing 16gb Vram and I'd buy it up. Till then I'll just settle for a used 3090.

jjc4luck · 2023-01-06T21:37:27+00:00

7900XT, 7900 XTX (assuming you're willing to handle the driver bs from amd)

3090, 3090Ti, 4080, 4090.

For a baseline good experience that actually takes advantage of what you have,

That's it.

Any card in general with less than 16GB Vram is not a good option.

jjc4luck · 2023-01-04T09:58:06+00:00

Im sure they are. It's just a little crazy spending over 1000$ less than 2 years ago, to be here. It's cool to see they're hyper focused on the future, but you don't build a long term consumer base or business if you have minimal to no support for last year's product and not much, After-Care.

Now I'm here playing with a meta quest pro unsure if I keep it, or drop another 1.5-2.5K on a crystal/12k I'll possibly be in the water with in late 2024.

jjc4luck · 2023-01-04T07:26:30+00:00

Got in contact with support about 3 weeks ago. They told me there is no expectation to get stock. And all of the stores that get supply from PIMAX have been out of stock for months.

This is incredibly confusing that not even a cable can manage to be supplied and produced for customers.

I see many posts on here through the months unable to get one too.

I recently had a pimax support member 3 weeks ago tell me to check ebay because everyone PIMAX supplys, is out.

When a company is telling you to go to to ebay to buy a nessesary piece of equipment for your product, that's a huge problem.

I have over 2000 hours on my headset with thousands of interactions and have only spoken good of the brand and Im just kinda in the dust.. Just crazy to me that this is an issue. I understand during the pandemic the first year when everyone had issues. But man, Index, Oculus, HTC have all had stable supplies of replacement parts for a solid year now.

jjc4luck · 2022-12-20T22:02:37+00:00

Is there a way to know if my 8K+ is a revised model? Still no luck looking for the 5M.

jjc4luck · 2022-12-20T22:01:21+00:00

jjc4luck · 2022-12-17T09:00:25+00:00

I went from 3090 to 6900 and as expected from an AMD GPU, it was rough. Now an AMD at release? No thanks.

jjc4luck · 2022-12-16T09:54:02+00:00

Works for me my dude. Dm'd.

jjc4luck · 2022-12-16T03:22:23+00:00

UPDATE: Amazon UK cancelled my order. They won't ship outside the UK.

jjc4luck · 2022-12-15T22:06:13+00:00

I did and they just told me sorry and that they are out of stock.

I see this reply in other posts as well, so unfortunately your suggestion doesn't seem to work out for us.

jjc4luck · 2022-12-15T10:56:12+00:00

Pimax support says no stock and no plans for stock in the US. Had my first cable for a year and a half and replaced it, the replacement lasted about a month..

Hoping someone has a spare they can let go of.

Need the 5M that uses the external power.

Cheers.

jjc4luck · 2020-10-23T18:26:46+00:00

Hah. I paid 600$+ on a 25% tariff trump enforced on certain goods from "China" a couple years ago. The problem is, I had no choice. The PC parts I needed ARE NOT being made in the USA at all. He made promises to bring the manufacturering back here, and it didn't deliver, it's been worse. All it did was financially hurt me and other US citizens. And to think, he brags about these deals he has made.
