Anyone can suggest a 16-pin 12VHPWR cable for your Rog Strix Thor 1200w.
After much troubleshooting, I believe the issue likely lies with the GPU adapter cable. I saw several complaints on Reddit about poor quality cables, and it seems more probable that this is the problem than a simple malfunction. My PC works well with the 3080 but loses video when using the 4090.
I found a Sirlyr 12VHPWR Cable that claims compatibility with ASUS, though in the discussions I searched for "Thor" and found a review stating it isn’t compatible (possibly due to a pebak situation). I’m seeking advice on a suitable cable from places like Amazon, eBay, or Newegg, or any local options.
I’ve checked various online stores but haven’t located any ASUS/ROG-compatible cables.
Probably the problem ROG Thor 1200w encounters with top-end GPUs is related to the Seasonic Prime platform inside, which has compatibility issues with the most advanced graphics cards. It functions as an adapter that works with any ATX PSU featuring three PCIe 6+2 connectors. I don't suggest using adapters that increase length or add extra connectors between the PSU and GPU. The best approach is to opt for an ATX3.1 unit that includes a 12VHPWR connector, such as the NZXT C1000 or C1200 Gold 2024 ATX3.1 series. These are among the top PSU lines and quite affordable.
