Hummmm.... 1: The braiding is only on the two 12VHPWR cables only. 2: It is loose meaning the wires move easily inside when turning or bending the cable in different directions. And can also be made to fit some what in a flat condition. 3: The reference to my T2 is that the braiding on "all" cables is tight. So if you bend it the cables stay in their rounded form. 4: I gather the braids on this cable are to cover the fact that the wires inside are single strands. And the braided sheath is to make it easier to keep the single wires in check. (From what I can feel) And this translates across at least the 1200W PSU that I have from them. 5: And going by the picture once again. They "could" have taken a single 12VHPWR cable and cut it and added the two 8 pin PCIE connectors. Technically speaking as the wires are the same, but of course that cable would have come out to be shorter. Speculations of course.... Final conclusions.... The braiding is the same as on my 1200W PSU I have from them. Still holding up after 15 years. https://bjorn3d.com/2007/06/thermaltake-toughpower-w0133ru-1200w-psu/ So to answer the main question. The cable "looks" to be identical as part of the Gen 5 12VHPWR cable.

I'm not sure I understand the question? I thought I answered this. Looking at the picture that was posted and this one compared to mine they look identical from different ends of two different cables I have. I do not own a cable like the one pictured. So I have no apples to apples comparison other than I found it odd that that guy went back and changed that Aliexpress part of his comment. And the comment "how is this cable that is made by Thermaltake and sold by them vs my Thermaltake cables" from my Thermaltake power supply differ? I would think they would be the same quality as they are made and sold by the same company.(But that is speculations as I'm not about to be cutting mine open to find out) And I'm pretty sure they would not go out and by different plugs that take the same wires they already make their original 3.0 cables with. And his comment about "pins all over the place" the pins don't even move unless you are in there trying to break them to get them to move so you can say that. (12+4 connector) So I don't know...will just have to wait and see if they are crap or not, but going from mine.... They are solid so far. JMO Edit: Congrats on getting your new cpu though!

Using same voltage, but started lowering the sa voltage. Going to try to get that out of the way...maybe it's the problem as I was using auto at first.

I tried lower and it crashes during short TM5 test.

Okay, so I just ran this...

You got me. I have never bought GPU/PSU power cables from Aliexpress before. I also have a standardized 3.0 PSU with real Gen 5 single cable. (300V/80C/16AWG(per wire)) The sheath braiding seems tighter on my EVGA 1600W T2 than on my Thermaltake 1650W GF3. And before anyone decides to jump on those specs. My EVGA 1600T2 wires are spec'd exactly the same word for word(VCG) for the 8 pin PCIE cables. Edit: I will be getting the angled adapters from Cablemod just to have for any future projects that may need a 90 or 180 degree turn. Or I get an HOF 4090 that has 2 12VHPWR ports. 🙂 Edit: I had to take a real look at my cables and see I do in fact have 2 12VHPWR cables so all ready for HOF card.

What was the voltage at?

Wont know till I get my board back....this board will post 7600, but is not stable.

China? You mean the country half of America loves to hate? That China? LOL

If he is in the same part of the world Roman is in...that might be a hard sale.... Didn't he buy a chip for like 1400 euro? Edit: I may have that wrong. The exchange rate is better than I thought. Not sure about vat and shipping. So he would come out way better than Roman at 1K than he did for an "average" chip at 1400 euro (speculations) So 1200 or 1300 would not be out of the question

Man, sell that chip and buy another. Unless you plan on benching that chip for record points. Then tell him to show you the SP rating. LOL. Edit: Also make sure to protect your self from charge backs....

Edit: found the pictures... The voltage for this one was not to far off...

Damn, might have to drop igor down a few notches on my list...LOL

I guess if we start experiencing 3.0 PSU and power cable (single cable) failures then we could assume so, but as of right now no one has came forth with that as being an issue....YET! Not sure how those single cables are put together because no one has torn one apart yet. I would really need to see that before submitting 100% to the idea that it is also safe. Edit To add, it was actually one of the main reasons driving me forward with that purchase. It was 1 cable and not 4 or 3 cables into 1

Igorslab already figured it out and fixed it. Now they would only need to follow his lead and send out new cables under that direction and recall all cables and cards with even 1% damage for replacement. That is....if they really do have cards sitting around. (AIB partners)(Nvdia)

Sorry guys, but I can't seem to let it go.😂😂 Zotac "trash" card was doing very respectable numbers. And really good vram and was up to about 550W max.

You got me there. I was more looking at the delid tool they made for it along with the direct die frame.

Dragon Ball Power does not work well with 13900K....

I guess I mean out of the box doing nothing but set clocks and see if it can do it. No extra cooling or mods or repasting or anything else. 1500 and start port royal, no crazy artifacts(you can get always with about 10 to 15 seconds in and stop if one sees nothing), then go 1600 and then 1700 and then 1800. Up till it gets funky then back down a bit until stable and then run full test. Usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes max to find out if the memory is good or not.

Wait? Why no trash card in the list? Are they being haters?😂

Okay, found the main thread over there.

So your card wont do 1700+ on memory?

The Unify-X is geared for memory over clocking though, these Hero 4 channels are...eha, I might work today but tomorrow is another day. 😂

So you are in the same boat as the rest of us. lol. Those auto voltages do love to run pretty damn high though.
