The cable is compatible with PCI Express 5.0 which conforms to the ATX 3.0 standard, also used for the power supply of the latest high-end graphics cards. When connected to a CORSAIR power supply unit of 1200W or more, the full power of 600W can be supplied.
CORSAIR introduced a power modular cable "600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR Type-4 PSU Power Cable" with a 12VHPWR connector compatible with the current full modular power supply unit on September 22, 2022 (local time).
The 12VHPWR connection cable is compatible with PCI Express 5.0 and corresponds to the ATX 3.0 standard, and it is also used to power the latest GPU "GeForce RTX 4090." The graphics card has an adapter that transforms the PCI Express 8pin to 12VHPWR connector, but if you use the cable introduced this time, you can connect to the current high-end graphics card without using an adapter. The new power modular cable is backwards compatible with all current CORSAIR Type-4 full modular power supply devices. A single cable may offer up to 600W of power, and when linked to a 1200W or higher CORSAIR power supply unit, full power of 600W can be given. Furthermore, power supply units of 1000W or more can be supplied with up to 450W, while models of 750W or more can be supplied with up to 300W.
Global shipments will begin on September 29th.
