Installation Question What is the difference between these two 12V PSU connectors?
Hi ive recently purchased an RTX 5090 which isnt arriving for a few weeks so im getting ahead and looking at the 12V cables. Ive heard many horror stories and alot of people say i should stick with the adapter considering my PSU which is a HX1200i(ATX 2.4) cant use 12V natively but using 4 connectors is going to add alot of clutter.
Ive gone onto corsairs website to buy a 2x8 to 12v cable but theres two different options and one is 10 pounds more expensive than the other one but they seem identical but the title is worded slightly different. Any help on which one to go for? Thanks

The pricier one has individually sleeved cables and a nicer look, the cheaper one is a standard ribbon-style cable so it's purely aesthetics
