NO, you do NOT need 4 x 8pin to enable 600w mode in 12VHPWR. This is a common misunderstanding and misinformation on the Internet about this. This misunderstanding is due to the original Nvidia adapter added a limiter IC which it will downgrade to 450w from 600w when only 3 x 8pin is connected. This limiter happens and applies to the original Nvidia adapter only, and this causes all the confusion and misunderstanding on the Internet.

The main problem with bending a 12VHPWR cable is when it is a uni-sleeved 12VHPWR cable (a big sleeving and heatshrink wrapping all wires together). When you bend this type of cable which is so stiff and hard to bend, the top row of the wires will receive huge pressure and create bad contact, or the pin may even be pulled out. You can never bend this type of cable safely. From below photos, you can see and imagine that the top row of wires is taking all the pressure when bending a cable likeSome readersAre your 12VHPWR terminals Single or Double Split/Seam?
We are using top quality single split/seam premium high-current 4-String 12VHPWR terminals. This terminal is the best possible 12VHPWR terminals in the world at this moment. This design makes the male connector much more resilient to weakening contact from pull forces arising from cable bending. The resulting connector would offer superior structural integrity of the connection. We havSome readersWhat is the best practice of choosing a 12VHPWR cable?
Direct cable (from PSU to GPU) is always the best, regardless of the connector type. This applies to the 12VHPWR cables as well as the traditional 8pin PCIE cables. Adapters and extension cables will always reduce the power delivery performance and add an extra possible point of failure. So, always use a direct cable if possible. (https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/webSome readersWhy your 12VHPWR cables are softer and more flexible than other cables?
It is because we are using the premium ultra-soft silicone wires. Our 12VHPWR cables are also using the best possible quality of terminals and connectors. It is a more premium and higher quality type of wires comparing to regular wires. It is extremely soft and flexible which will curve anSome readersWhich angled 12VHPWR type should I use?
First, you have to confirm which 12VHPWR connector orientation it is on your GPU, by checking whether the latch is at the bottom or top, or by comparing your 12VHPWR connector with the picture below. Then you can choose a suitable angle type, depending on whether you want to route the cable above the GPU (upward) or below the GPU (downward). You should be able to figure out easily by looking at the picture below.

Both 2 x 8pin and 3 x 8pin can deliver full 600w. This is assuming that your PSU wattage is adequate according to your PSU manufacturer guidelines. In fact, each 8pin PCIE port on a modern PSU can supply over 300W from each port. Thus, 2 x 8pin PCIE ports are more than enough to provide 600W for 12VHPWR. (RTX 4090 is a 450w card) But 3 x 8pin will give you an extra redundancy for the power being supplied to the GPU and making use of 3 x 12V rails assuming you are using a multi-rail PSU.

This guide applies to all 12VHPWR cable installation for both the GPU and PSU sides, and regardless of where you buy the 12VHPWR cable from. First, you should do a visual check on the cable to make sure there is no physical damage or loosen pin. If there is any damage on the cable, do NOT use it and contact the vendor to replace it. You should straight plug the cable into the connectoFew readersWhy only 2 of the 4 signal pins are used in the 12VHPWR cable?
You may see that all 4 signal wires are used in the original Nvidia 12VHPWR adapter cable, but only 2 signal wires are used in our cable. In fact, the original Nvidia 12VHPWR adapter cable is also using only 2 of the signal pins. If you remove the sleeving of the cable, you will see there are 2 signal wires hanging in the middle without connecting to anything. They put them there for decoration only. So,Few readersDo I need to worry about bending your 12VHPWR cable?
Our 12VHPWR cables are made with top-quality ultra-soft silicone wires, it will just curve naturally by itself. You don't even need to bend it.

igor'sLAB has published a study on the Nvidia 12VHPWR adapter (and some AIBs are using the same adapters). It is not recommended to use this adapter! I’m pretty sure that NVIDIA itself doesn’t know or didn’t know exactly what kind of contact party the supplier is having inside the molded connector. Otherwise, this part should not have been approved in this form.

Normally, you should not worry about it. Because the limited service life (30 connects/disconnects) is NOT a new thing in 12VHPWR only. In fact, this limited service life specification has already been there since Molex back in tens of years ago. This applies to all the other PC power connectors too, including the traditional PCIE 6pin/8pin connectors. So, nothing really has changed in term of specifications. But please remember and make sure the 12VHPWR connector is FULLY inserted.Few readersWhat is the minimum PSU requirement for RTX 4090?
NVIDIA has released the below minimum PSU requirements:Few readersWill I get more power by using 4 x 8pin in 12VHPWR?
NO, you will not. There are 4 power limit modes in 12VHPWR, which are 150w, 300w, 450w, and 600w. By connecting Sense0/Sense1 signal pins to GND, the 600w is enabled, regardless of how many 8pin are connected to the 12VHPWR connector. For example, you are using a 2 x 8pin to 16pin cable with 600w enabled. The max power limit is 600w. You cannot and will not get any extra power limit over 600w by conFew readersWhat is the difference between 12V-2X6 and 12VHPWR?

In essencFew readersWhy there are not 8 wires for each 8pin in the 12VHPWR cable?
First of all, because it is a modular cable. For a PSU modular port, not all 8pin are used and it is by design of the PSU manufacturer. Secondly, the 12VHPWR connector is a 12pin connector. You will never see 24 wires (3x8pin) or 32 wires (4x8pin) all jamming into a small 12VHPWR connector. In fact, if you check and remove the sleeving from the original Nvidia adapter, you will see there are 2 wires from each 8pin only, not 8 wires from each 8pin connector. (https://storage.crisp.chat/userFew readersIsn't each 8pin PCIE port can only provide 150w?
In fact, each 8pin PCIE port on a modern PSU can supply over 300W from each port. Thus, 2 x 8pin PCIE ports are more than enough to provide 600W for 12VHPWR. This is why you see PSU vendors are offering 2 x 8pin to 12VHPWR cables which support 600w. RTX 4090 is a 450w card. 600w means 133% of 450w.Few readersCan you make cables for the new ATX 3.0 PSUs?

Using 4 x 8pin for a direct 12VHPWR cable is quite silly, and this is why you will never see any PSU manufacturers offering a 4x8pin direct 12VHPWR cable either. Technically, of course we can make a 4 x 8pin direct 12VHPWR cable, and charge more for this. But we just don't want to make a unless product with no benefit to our customers. A modern PSU 8-pin port can supply 300w and more, so why are you connecting 4 x 300w (1200w) to a 12VHPWR 600w port?

It is because GPU manufacturers do not know and cannot control what power supply unit (PSU) you are using. So, they have to include an adapter for the worse possible scenario that people may use a complete garbage level or substandard PSU with their GPUs, and the GPU should still be able to draw sufficient power via the 12VHPWR port.

Unfortunately, no, it is not. More wires do not always mean it is better nor safer. Adding countless unnecessary joints and splits to a cable will not give you any more power, instead they are simply yet another possible point of failure. Take the Nvidia adapter as an example, if the problem is a bad contact resulting heat, using more 8-pin splitting simply cannot prevent such a problem. Some people say the 4th 8-pin is meant for redundancy, then 10 x 8-pin is better than 4 x 8-pin, right?Few readersDo you have a 12VHPWR (PSU) to 3 x 8-pin PCIE (GPU) cable?
Yes, we do. Please buy it at ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 Dual 12VHPWR 16 Pin to Triple 8 Pin PCIE Power Cable. But please note that your PSU must provide 2 x 12VHPWR ports (e.g. Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1650W), in order to use this cable. Each 8pin PCIE requires 3 x 12V leads. 3 x 8pin PCIE requires 9 x 12V leads, but one 12VHPWR port can only provide 6 x 12V leads.
