I obtained the PSU for my 4080 but now realize they use cheap 18swg cables for all connections, even for 12Vhpwr. It's only rated for 450W, and the same applies to the EPS. Should I return the PSU? I might end up getting the 5090/5080 later, which could put extra strain on the cables. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks 👍

I would return the nit and check for the one with thicker gauged wire. Just a note, you should aim for a unit of 1KW or higher, since the RTX4090 acts as a placeholder for the incoming RTX5090.

It's interesting how the 12V rail can deliver 850W, yet they've designated the 600W cable for their 1050W model!
