What a wonderful world, a miner making gpu installation videos and gamers taking notes
Just trying to do my part
Lesson 1 … lets train plugging in plugs …
Don’t fix what isn’t broken Nvidia… just wasted over an hour of my time trying to figure this cable situation out for my new 4090. Thanks for the video!
I'm sorry you had to deal with that but better safe then sorry! I'm glad it helped, if you have any more questions about your 4090 lmk!
If you're spending $1500+ on an enthusiast piece of hardware, you should be doing all necessary research to know what you're getting into. Does the 12hvpwr plug suck? Yes. But you should've known that before buying 🤔
@@larkan511 thats why I posted these guides to try and help as many people as I can!
@@larkan511 Would've made zero difference if I wasted the hour before or after the purchase smart ass
I’m having issues with mine black screening and fans at 100 percent using a 12vhwpwr lead that bundles with my psu I’m thinking on trying the lead that came with the gpu what would you recommend is the best cable to use?
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed. How can they charge someone 1$700 and not provide the basic courtesy of explaining this in the manual??? User error = manufacturer error if they don't provide the damn instructions! You are doing god's work my man
Thank you for this video, solved a couple doubts I had about the 4 plug vs 3 plug issue
buy a 2000$ GPU and have to worry about the 10$ cable.... seems off
Its not user error, the sheeple back nvidia because of fanboyism and buyers remorse
@@dante_di_martino Go buy an AMD card and hope your heatsink is made properly then 🙂
Same thing applies to other hobbies and things as well. It's called do your research.
It's called additional $$
nvidia gets some % from such fake issues. Everything is planned.
@@larkan511 bruh you so dumb you assume instantly that i back the other camp. That right there is a slave mentality, if you are not with us you must be against us. Humanity build processors and rockets and still behaving like 3 iq chimps.
I bought a moddiy 4 pin adapter and plugged them all in, no overclocking on a 1000w PSU. Haven't had a single issue and I did a check of the port and cable at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. I have the same case (P600s) and will say with a moderate bend to the adapter, it does barely touch the glass.
my man you dont need this video you have everything down pat!!! thanks for sharing your success!!!
If you have a 4 plug, then use all 4. Even if you're not overclocking. 👍
10:45 - 10:48 - this also goes for life in general.
Thank you very much. I am getting mine tomorrow and I am so excited. But I bought a cablemod custom cable for a cleaner look.
Awesome!!! Make sure you listen for the click!!! And have a fantastic time with your gpu, hopefully you enjoyed THIS channel to see some more 4090 content I have coming!!
@@kr00tmanminingis there a 16 pin 600watt rgb cable?
This worked. I came from a 4070 and tried running the 4090 with only one connection to the splitter because it didn't tell me in the box I needed to use all 3 or 4. Thank you.
I have a 4090 i just installed. Ty for the video as i nearly plugged in the secondary connector on the same PCIE cable but immediately didn’t when i heard you say not to. So ty for saving my GPU
I'm glad I could help!!!!!!!!! Made.my day!
Thank you! I was fighting with my 4090 for 3 hours!
Excellent video, simple, easy to understand and made me stop worrying so much about the install :)
glad it helped, dont forget to sub and share with your friends
I was using the cablemod cable but it came out with factory problems (black screen and 100% fans), now I'm using the nvidia cable and everythings perfect, first I made sure to watch your video lol.
im glad it helped!!!!!!! I plan on doing more guides in the future!
Thank you very much for making this video. My 1000w Corsair came with that high power, but I wasn't 100% about hooking up to my new 4080 super, so I went with the 3-plug just to be safe. Definitely will be switching to that single high power cable tonight. Thanks again bro!
Glad I could help
"You may not have this kind of room"
Me: Laughs in enthoo 719
I daisy chain for all 4 slots, 2 months later still going strong
Just ordered mine. I bought a Gigabyte RTX 4090 and I’m so freaking excited!
That's awesome you won't be disappointed!!!
IF your GPU comes with a 4 plug adapter, use the included adapter fully.. don't use one less plug and DO NOT DAISY CHAIN THE PSU CABLES.. You are introducing a variable that NVIDIA removed themselves in testing and the quad plug is included for when the GPU actually tries to pull UP TO 600W which can be done without manual overclocking. If it was meant to be used with less than what came in the box, it would have been included in the box that way.
As long as you use 3 individual pcie cables going into their own ports on the GPU you are fine
But what about the corsair cable???
@@mattfire8579 The corsair cable which is 2x8 pin to 16 pin is enough. it is rated for 600W. each cable can deliver 300w
@senbonzakura662 You're putting more power demand on your 12v PCIE rails. Unless you have a power supply that has a 12vhpr cable, OR are using a 16pin to two or three 8pin cable like the cablemod cable(the one that plugs directly into the pcie ports on the PSU, not with that janky 16pin to 4x8pin one that came with your card) you're risking shorting something out and bricking the card or the PSU, or the entire system. With modern GPU's, using those pigtail daisy chain cables is a massive risk. There is a reason why bigger creators don't do it and have either the cablemod cable that goes straight from the PSU to the GPU, or multiple, single 8pin pcie cables for the adapter.
@senbonzakura662 If your cables are a single 6+2 thats fine, the pigtail/daisy chain that is another 6+2 or an 8pin, shouldn't be used. You need a standalone 6+2 or 8pin PCIE cable for each port on that adapter cable, so if it has 4 pcie 8pin ports, you need 4 cables. If you don't have 4 pcie 8pin cables or 6+2pin cables or a mix of them, your PSU is old or underpower spec for a 4090.
ATX 3.0 only has added low power mode to allow better efficiency at idle, that's what the sense cables/pins are for. If you don't have ATX 3.0 it means nothing for performance, just that it will be using just a few more watts at idle. Feel free to use to two connector cable, just be aware that now you have to make sure every connection is secured
Side note; if your PSU has multiple 12v rails and each pair of 8-pin connectors are on deferent rails you will need to make sure you plug in one 8-Pin from each rail to make sure you don't overload one rail. I saw that back in the day with extreme OC'ing on GPU's with two 8-pins. There's usually a chart on your PSU telling you
The 3 plug and 4 plug are simply for redundancy from the added failure points by adding more connectors in general, that comes from the horses mouth Jonnyguru. The PCIe 5.0 power connector IS the same as two 8 pin connectors with redundancy taken out just to make the connector smaller, again.. Jonnyguru's words.. and the man designs PSU's for Corsair
*could be the multiple 12v rail issue again, if you're forced to use 3+ connectors that will make sure at least one of the connectors is pulling power from the other rail
But you're totally right, the only "failure" point isn't the actual cables or connectors, it's the bad design that allows a false sense of it being fully connected.
Very helpful video on this subject. I'm going with the 16pin to 3x8pin cable from Cablemod for the 4080 to RM850X.
Bi i have exact same psu, how did you connect that psu to 4090
That's awesome please let us know how it runs!! What model did you get, and thank you for the positive feedback
Check my 2nd video on the subject I basically have the same psu, also please sub if you don't mind, helps the channel!
@@kr00tmanmining I bought the C-series Pro ModMesh 12VHPWR black with white cable. Other than the plastic cable shroud over the connector being a bit flimsy, the build quality is exceptional. I’ve checked the connector a few times since purchase, no issues. I’m probably going to get the 90 degree connector when it launches, since the cable comes really close to the front of my case.
@@BCleat 90° Better is, less space
Thank you - fantastic video
I have a Zotac 4090 and it came with the 4 plug adapter.
Same I had to make an order for an extra pcie cable a few minutes ago
@@doroteopratt9147 I prefer just to buy a 2-foot 4090 power cable with the four inputs to the PSU.

Hey, recently bought a 4090 FE, im confused at around 7:08, can you explain to me what I should and shouldnt plug in? This is just as you say dont plug in two and then plug in 4.
EDIT: I figured it out that 4 is fine, no burnt cables, no issues!
You should only use a ATX 3.0 or 3.1 power supply with a native 12VHPWR contact to get sense pin control.
With CableMods 3x8 cable , power at 110 percent , 500 watts easy, more heat and noise, and not needed at all for everyday use , I love benching new hardware for my channel , that's the only time I OC .
makes sense, im about to do the same with a 4070ti I just picked up.
I just want to know where you get the information about this three cable and four cable which one is the correct to use? Who is saying that?
So you don’t want to run the pig tail into the adapter? As is the main cord as a split off
The click thing applies to all variants of 4090? Got a strix 4090 here 😅
"Unless you're an enthusiasts, there is no need" then Starfield came out 😅
You can run starfield well on much weaker gpus, I will be making a video on it in a few days
@kr00tman nice! Ya i have a 2070 super and the game doesn't do that well. A lot of stutter in key moments for me. Just got the 4090 to upgrade but now looking for how to connect the power supply and stumbled here lol
@@COExist87 Sick upgrade, and im glad I could help!
THanks for the video. Do you have a video on installing the support bracket for the RTX 4090. I need to see how much space it will take in the case. I have plans to upgrade to the 4090 in a few months
Check my older videos on the 4090 I go over it
ty for your video and making this, appreciate you!
After much research. If you are using an atx 3.0 psu with a gen5 pcie gpu. You do not need 3-4 8pins. These psus should come with a 600w 16pin with dbl 8 pin connector which is fine even for overclocking.
Bro, what do you think about the corsair atx 3.0 cable with 12 + 4 pin connector. Is it safe?
I dont see why it wouldnt be?
Hey man I have a Asus ROG Thor 1600W, so I’m not sure if I should the psu 12 cable for my 4090 fe or just use the 4090 fe cable , let me know thanks
use the one that came with the psu
@@kr00tmanmining why do some say use the 4090 FE cable rather than the PSU cable? is there a difference in performance or something? my psu 12 cable has 2 connections to the psu while the 4090 FE has 4 (but like you said only need 3)
This video earned u a like and follow my dude, I'm coming for an msi 980(non ti) and I was confused af with the adapters

Would you be able to overclock a 4080 Super with the cable mod cable that goes to 3 8 pins? I have a 1000W PSU
I bought the vertex gx-1200 and will use the supplied 600w connector. They recommend in the box to not bend the first 35mm close to the connector of both side, the one connected to the power supplied and the side connected to the graphic card. I don’t know depending of the case if the graphic card is in a pci e motherboard slot if there is enough clearance for 35 mm. But it should.
Im trying to install a 4080tisuper in a 4000d airflow. What cable should i get?
You’re running 4090 (450w) on a 850w psu? What’s your set up? Particularly cpu
5950x on one and a 5900x on another zero issues
Why did you skip the step where you solder the plug to the card? That's an important step, as it helps the connectivity and prevents the plug from accidentally slipping out of the socket.
ha I mean you could do that but I think thats out of alot of peoples skillsets
@@kr00tmanmining Just kidding, no way I'd go anywhere near a 2K+ card with a soldering iron.

I have the Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4090. NVIDIA says I need at least three connections. Thermaltake includes a single cable to go from the PSU to the GPU and says it'll be fine.
its a different kind of cable as the video explains
@kr00tman I get that, it's just that MVIDIA support was adamant that it had to be wjth a 3 or 4 prong connection.
Early on it was said it was due to bending at the plug, now it's claimed it's not pushing the plug in firmly enough. It's coming across like they're trying to gaslight people into thinking that being given an adapter made from the plastic that's not up to the task is their fault. Heaps of people now are apparently smart enough to earn enough money to buy a high end card but somehow too dumb to plug it properly into the easiest to see and access connector port I've ever seen. If so many people are having problems with it it's got to be something wrong with the connector.
So it's been confirmed by people outside nivida so that helps, but I for sure get what your saying
I literally saw someone in a UA-cam comment saying "they should just make the connector's material as metal". Now imagine how much would Nvidia AND the other companies which provides different models of the 4090. THEY would lose because alot of money because of this
@@ТЫКНИТЕСЮДА yeah some times people don't fully understand everything that goes into this
It's been proven that's its directly from bending, not plugging all the way, and debris. Search around on UA-cam. You'll see a few vids on it
Also, it was a very small percentage of the tens of thousands of 4090s out there...
From what I understand it’s 150 wants a plug so if you have three you’re doing 450 W max and when you add the fourth one that gives you a total of 600 W total power out to the card. Linus actually got it to work on two at 300 W on a 600 W power supply if I remember right. It wouldn’t run on just 150 W long and short. Don’t try this at home boys and girls. Personally, I’m running to three and the max I seen out was 450 W, but I have ordered from cable mod the four so I can go to 600 Watts. I seen some guys pulling 3000 MHz and I believe you can only do that with a 4 connection and 600 W
Is it true that the cable and the connector on the GPU can be plugged and unplugged only 12 times? After 12 times the connector will be destroyed.
Is it true? Thank you.
@@oldi184dang really ? That’s crazy I do hear people in videos say not to plug and unplug unless you absolutely have to because it’s fragile and will not connect properly over times you do it. And can cause cables to have that slight melting of the pins.
@@oldi184 The 12th time unplugging is like Mission Impossible and it just self destructs.
@@Veganarchy-Zetetic
No, the metal pins will get damaged, and the card will not be usable.
An electronic device for over 1000 dollars has components that are rated only for 12 cycles. How cool is that?
For comparison, a tiny and delicate micro USB connector is rated for 1000s of cycles.
@@oldi184 I just received a 4090 and the first thing I thought when I saw the socket was "Why on Earth is it so small!? Surely it will just melt" Whoever designed these new sockets are complete morons.
I heard the click, no gap on top, but it was still kinda loose like if I moved the cable left and right I would start seeing the gap, what do you think? Is that normal?
Sorry for the late reply, I think id reinstall it one more time, and check the result, but as long as you hear the CLICK, you should be ok
Bro, I got this Corsair cable for my hx 1200 because the adapter that came with the 4090 looks ugly. I agree the click is important. The cable has been working flawlessly so far.
That's fantastic!!! I'm glad you enjoy it!!
where u buy it?
How is it performing after 10 months? I've just bought it.
Is seasonic or Corsair 12vhpwr cable compatible for Asus ROG Thor 850w PSU ? and how it can be normal to plug just 2*8 pin into PSU and NVIDIA Cable adapter comes with 4*8 PIN ? thanks
I have a Thor 850w and wondering the same
the adapter cable plugs into the PCIE ports in the PSU right?
Hello I only have a 4 cable is it ok if i only plug 3 of them and leave one out
Do you use all 4 pins in the 4 pin adapter if you have a 1200 watt psu?
Where do you get that 3 plug connector from?
Got a Corsair HX1200w power supply, but not interested in overclocking, but still... using it for AI workload, not gaming.
So yeah there would be a reason to overclock it for AI, but I don't need it. Would rather it ran all day without issue than be a cheetah in bursty mode.
you can use the cable mod cable or corsairs adapter if its compatible
Ur my goat bro thx
If my cable doesn’t click what are good alternatives to but
Thanks, real helpful
now i'm torn on using the cable that came with the Thor PSU or this lian li strimer rgb one. lol
Does the adapter that comes with it work with every PSU cable? Or do I have to buy another cable additionally to the ones that come with the PSU?
Which adapter?
@@kr00tmanmining the ones you pointed out as being 3 plug cable or 4 plug cable. Those are necessary to plug in the PCIE cable from the GPU. But is that cable that it comes with compatible with all GPUs or do I have to buy something additionally?
@@Banlara1702 yes it is every 4090 comes with one of those adapters
For ATX 3.0 PSU (16pin 12VHPWR port) would this be okay?
If I get a 16 pin that matches the 4090s regardless; would this be optimal and safe to use on the psu that is atx 3.0
Atx 3.0 will come with a cable that will work with your 4090 and it will be raited to work safely with it. Just make sure you look up the reviews on the psu
you would think they would of came up with an idea to ship the gpus with the 600W Cable
are those 3 cables from vga? the ones that comes from psu
What happens if I plug it in like this 6:53, does it burn the graphics, or does it shut down, or can it be done but it is not advisable?
I am going to buy a 4090, my psu is 850w but only has two 8 Pin cables (6+2) and both cables have that protrusion (not really what it is called) however, if I get to connect it like that will something bad happen?
Yes you will most likely melt the cable and cause a failure, you should buy a new psu
:c
i have a msi gaming trio 4090 and im not hearing the little click no matter how hard i push the cable in
Hey man I'm subscribed to your channel
I get the Rtx 4090 (no OC) my PSU is the Asus Thor 850. So I only need to put 3 plugs right? I don't want to screw it because was so expensive.
Yes sir!
I have a long 12VHPWR cabel with the same ends one called psu and one 600w ofc i know where they go but are they safe to use on my 4080 super oc
Immediately with no other extention?
the pcie cables from my psu are double headed should i just use them al 3 and only plug one head in and leave the other head just hangin?
I still wouldn't trust it personally. I still think the cable design is flawed. I got the Corsair 12VHPRW cable instead. Yes i could use one that came with my 4080 (if i reeallllllly have to use it) but the Corsair one is easier to bend, looks way better, and does the same job but better. And yes it overclocks fine. Personally, i think Nvidia should redesign the cable even if you have to literally shell out more cash on top the of the whole thing as an option. Probably not my best idea.... It's kind of silly to have to worry about about a cable being inserted correctly when it wasn't a thing but here we are. Still, great video. Merry Christmas. May our framerates be high and temperatures low! :)
I'm with you I personally prefer the Corsair cable, but I wanted to cover every option Incase people wanted to use the 3 or 4 plug connector! Thank you so much for the feed back and happy holidays to you as well!!

Same issue here
Do i need to remove the cable ties on the corsair 2×8 pin? And does it matter if the 8 pins into the psu are left or right?
Hey man can I please have your help? I picked up an ASUS tuf 4070ti and it’ll be here tomorrow. I currently have an ASUS tuf 3060ti and it consumes more power than the 4070ti. I have a 650w power supply. Will that be enough to power the card? Also I’m very worried about my cable melting from what I’ve seen online. The ASUS tuf has 2x8 pin connectors that come from the 12vhpwr. Am I able to use my cable extensions to plug into it or do I have to use the stock Corsair cables from my psu to the cables? I have cable extensions like I said. Will it hurt my pc if I used stock cables within the 12vhpwr but still had my cable extensions in my cpu/mb? Sorry if it’s confusing
check out my 4070ti install guide, 650 should be just fine, as far as cable extensions, i am not an expert on those, but if you have a 4070ti that has a 12vhpwr cable id look to buy new ones that work with it, otherwise using your normal cables should be just fine
@@kr00tmanmining Awesome bro thanks for your help! I’m gonna be installing it pretty soon. I’m hyped!
@@kr00tmanmining Hey man. I put the card in the other day and the performance is insane! I’m not able to put my tempered glass on my case because it’ll bend the cord too much. Is it normal for the base of the cord to get kinda warm? Just making sure.
@@aarondunnmedia that's awesome and as long as you installed it right it should be fine
@@kr00tmanmining Sweet bro thanks for your videos! They helped me out a ton with it.
This was helpful. Thanks buddy
I am glad I could help! I hope you enjoy your new gpu over the holidays!!!
So if your psu has the 600 watt 12vhp pin you just plug it in from psu to gpu ? Am I understanding this right ?
Yup
What about 4070 ti, is it the same? because i have 3 8pin comes with the card and nvidia said to only plug 2 of them.
Thanks for the video though ❤
That's a good question, I haven't looked into it, let me check tomorrow and I'll get back to you!
@@kr00tmanmining any word?
i bought the strix 4090 (OC) edition , is it fine to plug only 3 out of 4 adapters since my psu only has 3 pcie cables?
Yea you just won't be able to oc it, which you honestly don't need to do
Will my corsair hx1000 from 2020 only pull 450 watts with the direct replacement cable from corsair?
Very good video, thank you.
Is it safe to plug 12 pin connector if power supply is around 1000w ? And one is having lets say 4080. I am confused. This is so messy, 1st with am5 mess of amd with slow boot with mobos, Intels insane high temp cpu and now NVedia wanted make sure they also stay in news for wrong reasons
Will the 12VHPWR cable work on Corsair AX850i (Type 3) PSU?
Check their website and it will tell you there
How's that going for you?!
@@kr00tmanmining Well the table on the website is bit confusing but what I gathered from it that all the PCI-E cables are the same with Type 3 and 4 PSU so type 4 PCI-E cables are compatible with Type 3 PSI (my AX860i). 12VHPWR cable is type 4 PSU ( for example; Corsair AX1600i ) cable, which technically means is also compatible with my PSU which is Type 3 PSU, right?
@@zaselimgamingvideos I'm glad you figured it out
What if i only have 2 8pin cables? Is it enough?
hello so my question is that, I bought a Corsair hx850 80+ platinum psu because im planning to upgrade to a rtx 4080 which needs 3 8 pin cables, when the psu arrived I found out that it only has 2 separate 8 pin pcie cables with daisychains at the end of each, is it ok for me use 1 cable daisychain and 1 separate 8 pin pcie cable? or do I need to upgrade my psu again. PS, I dont get corsair, the older version of the Hx850 had 3 separate 8 pin pcie cables with daisychains so why did they change it now to only having 2 separate 8 pins, and the other kicker for me is that this PSU has 3 4+4 EPS power cables instead of 2 like what the hell is up with that?
Buy the Corsair cable adapter and you should be fine
Oh wow, I ordered 3 Pin PSU RGB cables from Lian-Li? Will I be okay with those?
Just make sure they work with your psu and you should be good
If I don't want to overclock but undervolt and power limit can I still use the three plugs?
Yes
I am not sure if I plugged in the 12vhpwr cable correctly and I want to re-plug it. But I can't unplug it. How do I unplug it?
What do you mean you can't replug it?
@@kr00tmanmining It is plugged in and I want to unplug and replug it so I hear a click sound. ButI cannot unplug it as it is too tight. I guess I need to press on the latch while applying force.
@@chuliu1 just a little bit but, you have to be very careful.
