Seasonic has announced the release of updated 12VHPWR power cables for GeForce RTX 40 series video cards. They use an improved 12VHPWR connector, known as 12V-2×6, and the company has prepared options with a 90-degree connector. This will simplify cable routing and, for example, eliminate the need to use a hair dryer.
The above cables are compatible with Seasonic power supplies rated at 650 W or more. We are talking about both modern devices of the ATX 3.0 standard, as well as older ones, which have two 8-pin connectors on the power supply side. Features include the use of 16 AWG wires and support for video cards with power consumption up to 600 W. For the 12V-2×6 connector itself, a lifespan of 50 connection/disconnection cycles is stated, which is a typical indicator.
Recommended prices for Seasonic 12V-2×6 cables will be announced later.
