The Nvidia 40-series graphics cards introduced the 12VHPWR connector, which was later revised to the 12V-2x6 connector. If your PSU lacks a native connection, then to power these cards you will need a suitable cable or adapter, which may come with the card you purchased. Of course, power supplies also began to include the necessary cables to connect graphics cards directly to the power supply.
Let's take a look at which CORSAIR PSUs have a 12V-2x6 cable and are ready to power your graphics card directly without the need for an adapter.
CORSAIR power supplies with native 12V-2x6 connector
Modular power supplies with a native 12V-2x6 power connector are becoming increasingly popular. To meet this demand we have introduced an update to one of our most popular power supply series, the CORSAIR RMx series.
Key Features:
- Available with 750W / 850W / 1000W
- 100% Japanese electrolytic capacitor rated at 105°C
- 140mm low-noise fan with magnetic dome bearing
- Manual fan override knob
- Fully modular, Type-4 connectors
- Native 12V-2x6 connector
- Cybenetics Gold efficiency rating
- Cybenetics A- noise rating
- ATX 3.1 compliant, supporting PCIe 5.1
- Zero RPM fan mode for near-silent operation at lower loads
- Over-Voltage Protection (OVP), Under-Voltage Protection (UVP), Over-Current Protection (OCP), Over-Temperature Protection (OTP), Short-Circuit Protection (SCP), Over-Power Protection (OPP)
- 10-year warranty
CORSAIR power supplies with 12V-2x6 adapter cable included
Not having a native 12V-2x6 connector on the modular side of the power supply does not mean you cannot have a perfectly compatible solution to power your 40 series graphics card. Therefore, CORSAIR includes an adapter cable that uses two PCIe connectors on the modular side of the power supply to adapt to a 12V-2x6 connector that plugs directly into your graphics card. you can read our "Native 12V-2x6 vs 8-pin to 12V-2x6" page to learn more about the differences between these two.
