Can anyone link me a good power cable for Zotac Gaming AMP Extreme Airo RXT 4090 GPU?

 

I have a CORSAIR 4000D case and I'm trying save as much space as possible without compromising on safety. If you know any good cable that I could use to directly link PSU to the GPU please link. I would really appreciate that.

Did yours come with a bad connector? The connector that came with my Trinity OC clicks right in like it should. Out of curiosity, I clicked it in and pulled on it. Wouldn't come out without me releasing the latch just like an 8 pin. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

I have the cable in picture 1. I'm sure it's good but it requires so much space for 4 cables and my box just isn't big enough which makes it so messy.

 

I've seen some videos about people using the corsair cable in picture 2, but I'm not sure where to find one especially with so many copy cats ones that I'm not sure if they are safe or not. 

 

I'm open to using other than the corsair cables if there are other good quality ones but I just don't know where to find one.

You can only use the Corsair Cables IF your PSU is a CORSAIR PSU. They are NOT compatible with any other PSUs on the market.

My question with Corsair's cable there is if it can actually support 600W. They say it does, but if I understand it correctly, for that to happen, all four sense pins have to be connected. Only two are wired up per the image, which would give it 300W. PCIe 8-pin connectors also support 150W max per connector, so again 300W.

 

EDIT: Looks like you only need Sense 0 and 1 grounded to get the 600W from the cable. But still curious about the PCIe 8-pin connector situation.

The Corsair one is going to be specific to Corsair power supplies. You won't want to use it with a different power supply. I have that same adapter and it works great, but doesn't match the rest of my cables. 

I haven't picked a brand yet just because I'm waiting to see failures on other brands' cables. If I don't see any, there's probably going to be a Cablemod cable in my future.

That is a good info to know. Any idea of any place I could find one. I think they are out of stock on Corsairs website. I have no clue if there is any other place that sells them.

 

This is my PSU:

 

corsair hx1200 platinum 1200 w 80+ platinum certified fully modular atx power supply

Yeah I honestly am completely confused about everything in general lol, it is my first pc build and I went all out. And trying to not take risks with the 4090 which is why I'm so worried about installing it with the 4 cable adapters one that was provided. It's gonna bend so much if I wanna close the case. If there is a way to get my hand on one of the corsair ones and it works as intended I feel it's gonna make my life so much easier.

If you're stuck using the included adapter, the only thing I could suggest is pre-bending it so you're not bending it with the adapter plugged into the card. Or, bend it while supporting the adapter/connector.

 

What power supply are you currently using?

This one looks super expensive but it says compatible with corsair 1200w and 4090. Any thoughts?
