Aesthetical and Functional
An elegantly designed braided 12VHPWR ATX 3.0 600W adaptor to convert 3 x 6+2 PSU supplies to fit newer generation graphics cards. Using a 3 layer flexible braided design to ease stress from the cables and adding style to your setup. This will enable you to power your next generation graphics card with ATX 2.X PSU – see our recommendations to ensure safe and stable performance.
What is 12VHPWR all about?
- A new 12VHPWR connector will power most, if not all, future PCIe 5.0 desktop Add-in cards (e.g., graphics cards). This new connector provides up to 600 watts directly to any PCIe 5.0 Add-in/graphics card. It also includes sideband signals that will allow the power supply to communicate the power limit it can provide to any PCIe 5.0 graphic card.
- New guidelines reflect the PCIe CEM Gen 5 power excursion limit for PCIe 5.0 add-in cards that was published in November 2021. Updated specifications include new DC output voltage regulation that will be necessary for managing new power excursion requirements.
- ATX12VO 2.0 also adds the I_PSU% feature to desktop platforms – delivering an Intel-driven innovation previously available on mobile and server platforms. This feature provides benefits to small form-factor (SFF) systems that can’t employ larger power supplies. It also provides cost efficiencies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as they are better able to right-size PSU selection to meet system requirements.
- Why It Matters: With ATX 3.0 and ATX12VO 2.0 specs, compliant PSUs coming to market will be essential for desktop users that want to get the best possible performance from their next-gen PCIe 5.0 desktop graphics cards. These next-gen cards are going to be bigger and more powerful than before. Users will be able to maximize their system performance by having the proper power supplies in place.
Recommendations
- Ensure to use a dedicated 6+2 supply to each of the sockets on the adaptor, do not use split connectors from one PCI-E outlet.
- Ensure your 12VHPWR connector is seated properly before powering on your system – audible click. It is recommended that the 12VHPWR connector be connected to the graphics card before installation in the motherboard to ensure correct seating.
- Do not install the 12VHPWR adaptor with excessive bends, this could lead to poor contact and overheating due to higher electrical resistance.
- Ensure your PSU has the correct power rating for your graphics card.
- Do not exceed 30 mating cycles to ensure proper electrical contact between terminals.
