List of reasons to buy extensions from your psu manufacturer, and not from cablemod.
What brand
Just a PSA for everybody. The PCIE spec for 8pin cables is 150w.
Now this is the part I have to stress, thats the spec, its not a limit (and the clowns who thinks it is need to educate them selves).
GPUs and PSU manufacturers have not followed this spec for longer than many of the users here have used a PC
Modern PSUs in the worse case can easily hand 216w on these plugs, most PSUs in the $60 and up range are using cables good for a minimum of 288w ( many can actually do more ), Der8aur even has a video covering most of this.
When you buy cheap after market cables that are actually targeting the 150w spec thats bad. Neither your GPU nor your PSU are expecting that to be the limit of this cables.
For the love of god sleeve your own cables or buy from your PSU manufacturer.
When I saw this post I freaked out for a moment 😂 the pic looks so much like the cables I got from Corsair
This connection is a fiasco.
must be AMD

Bros pin became tarnished
I have some real cheap($11) extensions on my 24 pin and my GPU cables(7900XTX).
Finally, a melted cable that isn’t a 12vhpwr.
Might as well use the post and ask questions about the same topic – Is coocat Cables good? Got them from Amazon, reviews say they are good but have seen no vids or posts about so. Anyone with experience with can answer? So far, they work fine.
You buy aliexpress parts for your pc? And then it failed? Wild.
I just bought my sleeved cables from thermaltake through Amazon for $59 a set. Lots of the Asia horse cables had a lot of great reviews, but for some reason paying more for a brand I recognized felt right versus not.
I don’t hold my wallet in anything related to the PSU
I bought a cheap Chinese 4$ 6 pin for my Nvidia 960-OC a long time ago and the cable melted through it’s rubber insulation and caused my PC to not boot right till I got it fixed
1 Question
I have Corsair rm1000e, it came with 12VHPWR cable, can I use just this cable or should I connect 3x Sata cables for the upcoming 4080 Super?
And that’s why you always leave a note.
Same thing happened to me but with Asian horse extensions, thought my gpu was acting up or psu, checked the connectors but they looked fine ended up removing them as a last ditch effort and after that my pc was good
That cable looks decent but I guess the copper was low
This happened to me too, except my cable smoked and melted in the middle, almost starting a fire :/
Were you using 4090?

My power switch… better than the pcie but yeahhhh.
Anyone here is the Asia Horse 12vhpwr angled adapters? Wondering how many of those went poof…
I never purchase extension cables. Too many points of failure.
Cheers!
Does anyone have good recommendations for replacement 8pin pcei cables to do away with the daisy chain one from power supply?
Weird i got some cheap “formulamod” from aliexpress, they work fine, nothing melt after 6 months (24 pin, 8 pin cpu and 3×8 for my 3080)
You never fuck with cheap electric/water stuff, if you wanna stay alive and like ur home
I’m getting all my components tomorrow in the mail. Your post made me question if I’ll need extension cables for my mobi or 7900XTX if my PSU mounts on top (Fractal Design Torrent).
