I’m not sure how to describe myself. When the RTX leak happened, some thought a stronger cable would be needed. It’s unclear if that actually happened. Regarding the Ryzen 7000, we should consider whether a new cable or PSU is necessary based on current specs and trends.
You're referring to the 12-pin connector on the RTX 30 series. Yes, it's visible on the original card. Regarding the Radeon 7000 series, all third-party cards use standard connectors, while the stock 30 series included an adapter in the box.
You're checking if the cable for your Ryzen 7000 is the same as your older Ryzen 2600. Since you're considering buying from Cablemod, it's likely they offer compatible options. Just confirm with them about availability before purchasing.
It’s highly improbable, but not impossible. The EPS 8 pin connector is very durable and can manage substantial power—rated at 235W officially, which exceeds the 230W capacity of the AM5 socket, and in practice it may handle around 400W before problems arise.
