12pin power conversion cable "PP12-EPS" from SilverStone

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/15/2021 07:39 AM | source: silverstonetek | 9 comment(s)

SilverStone now offers a PP12-EPS connector cable that converts EPS 8pin to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series 12pin auxiliary power connector.

The cable converts the EPS 8pin connector x2 in SilverStone's full modular power supply unit to the 12pin power connector used in the Fouders Edition of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series. The cable uses 16 AWG that can withstand high power up to 600 W. The cable length is 550 mm (excluding the connector part).

As every partner remove the 12 pins in favor of standard dual 8 pins, and founder haven't reached consumers hand, it will be rare

converts EPS 8pin

Isn't EPS 8-pin the official/technical name for the CPU power 8-pin cable? Shouldn't it be PCIe 8-pin?

EDIT: looked at Silverstone's own PSUs. Found that they share the same plug (EPS style) for both CPU and GPU power cables on the PSU side. So I guess this cable works properly, but that naming is still hell weird.

this is specifically a cable that uses unused EPS headers on the psu's side, it just happens that in many cases the PCIE header is the same as EPS on the modular end.

I don't understand why they split the cable at the 12 pin end. Why wouldnt you have them combined at the 12 pin end and split out at the other?
