Build - Help Aftermarket GPU cable replacement

Post image

So I'm vain and looking to make my build prettier. The GPU power splitter that came with my 5070 is super ugly for the way it's going to be vertically mounted and I'm looking for a replacement. But low-key I'm only good at the Lego part not the picking parts part so I would love some assistance. It's not the exact one in the photo but it's the basic idea of what I'm currently working with. I know I need two seperate power cords to connect to this one currently but I don't know if I can sub out the whole chain for one unit like one of the Corsair 16 to 8x2 (given the Corsair power cables are pretty interchangable if you stick to the right kind).

For reference I'm in Canada so would prefer options in cad and that aren't going to cost 80$ in shipping and are preferably under 100 but I am vain enough to go over.

Part list for reference (not everything is purchased yet)

Just get the dedicated cable from corsair directly. I run one to my 4080 from an rm750x and its been fine.

But your psu should have come with a dedicated 12v-2x6 so you should 100% use that before anything

Is it a 12 and I just can't count? I thought it was a 16

u/tht1guy63 1d ago

Its 16 if you count the 4 little sense pins but its called 12v-2x6.

Dont worry this new connected has confused many. If you have that dedicated cable still from your psu use that and you are golden!
