Cables and connectors

7 of 7 differ

CablesiOne row per kind of cable that runs from the PSU to a device. Connector is the plug at the device end. Count is the number of those plugs over all cables in the row. Length runs from the PSU end to the first plug. Adapters that plug into other cables are left out. Use 16-pin PCIe when the maker names a 16-pin GPU cable without saying 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. A cable from a 12V-2x6 socket on the PSU to 8-pin plugs is a cable, not an adapter, and counts as PCIe 8-pin. When the maker's documents name one GPU cable both 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6, use 16-pin PCIe and name both in the source note. Cables of one connector kind with different lengths or wire gauges get one row each.

All lengths have a tolerance of 10 mm, the PATA cable 25 mm. PATA plugs are the 4-pin Molex plugs. The 12V-2x6 to dual 8-pin cable counts as PCIe 8-pin, so there are 4 PCIe 8-pin plugs on 3 cables. It starts at the 12V-2x6 socket of the PSU, so it shares that socket with the 12V-2x6 cable. Hardware Busters and Cybenetics list 3 PCIe 6+2 cables with 3 plugs and no dual cable, which does not match the maker's list. The page does not rate the 12V-2x6 cable.

The report lists 3 PCIe 6+2 cables with 3 connectors, which does not match the maker's dual 8-pin cable.

ProtectionsiProtections the maker lists, or a retailer spec table copies from the maker, plus protections the Cybenetics protection tests show working (UVP, NLO, SIP). The Cybenetics manufacturer list has no OVP or UVP row, so do not build the list from it alone. A protection that is not listed may still exist. No-load covers no-load operation and no-load protection. Fan failure is a maker's fan failure protection or fan safeguard, also when the Cybenetics manufacturer block lists it.
