Can I use the existing 12VHPWR cable with the new RTX50 GPU?
Upgrade to the Latest 12V-2X6 Cables for RTX50 Series GPUs
We are pleased to announce the release of our new 12V-2X6 cables, designed specifically for the recently launched RTX50 series GPUs. As of 2025, the industry standard has transitioned to 12V-2X6, replacing the previous 12VHPWR standard. Our new cables incorporate significant advancements, including enhanced terminal and connector housing materials, along with thicker wires, to provide an additional safety buffer for the latest GPUs.
At MODDIY, all 12VHPWR / 12V-2X6 cables purchased from 2025 onward are manufactured in accordance with the new 12V-2X6 specifications and standards, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance with the RTX50 series GPUs.
Prior to 2024, the RTX50 series GPUs had not yet been introduced, and the prevailing standard was 12VHPWR. All cables produced before this period were designed and tested for use with the RTX40 series GPUs.
We recommend that all users upgrade to the new 12V-2X6 cables to take full advantage of the enhanced safety and performance features offered by this new standard.
You can buy the new 12V-2X6 cable at ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1 H++ 12V-2X6 675W 12VHPWR 16 Pin Power Cable.
How can I identify if my cable is 12VHPWR or 12V-2X6?
To determine the type of cable you have, consider the purchase date:
If the cable was purchased on or before 2024, it is a 12VHPWR.
If the cable was purchased in 2025 or later, it is a 12V-2X6.
