3080 8 pin power question

[IC4]

So I’ve seen some pictures online of some aib cards that in place of a 12 pin I see 3 8 pin connectors? Is this seriously going to be the norm? Almost feel like I wasted my money on cablemod cables because they only supply 2 8 pin connectors so I’d have to use one of my seasonic supplied ones (that came with psu). Just wondering if there will be any 2 8 pin and a 6 pin or just two 8 pin 3080s. If anyone knows that’d be great.

If you can "waste" $1400+ on a 3080, you should be able to "waste" another $20-30 on an extra cable from cablemod. You can buy cables separately, not just as a whole kit.

 

Quit your whining.

Someone will eventually create a converter for this.

Or the OEM partner will supply such converters inside the package.

Alright if you can link me a 8 pin pcie white modmesh cable that ships to the USA then I’ll quit but I couldn’t find it.

Also a 3080 does not cost 1400 dollars so your on something. I think your mistaken for the 3090

When I was looking at the other manufacturer board images, there were some models with 2x 8-pin on them. I think the Asus TUF was one, but you'd have to check each candidate out. The 3rd power connector wont be needed outside of the high end cards that allow more extreme overclocking.

Select your color then click on each cable to colorize it with that color (you can make multi color cables) : 

 

 

hit next, add combs if you want or other crap.

I guess cablemod will already be hard at work to get the 12-pin cables on sale.

 

Back to your question: Afaik several partner models of the cards use normal 6+2 type connectors.

I appreciate the informative post, I really was not aware of this. And I know it sounds weird I wasn’t trying to “whine” it’s just obnoxious I gotta pay 20 dollar shipping for one cable. In the grand scheme when buying a 800+ video card that shouldn’t be a big deal but it’s the principle of the matter.
