Is that actually metal though? That would be heavy as frick.
>>108972049As if current GPU's aren't so heavy you need supports to not wreck your PCIe slot.
>>108972049its like how motherboards market "STEEL ARMOR" pcie slots but its barely stronger than the plastic ones.
>the 1080Ti was so great even 2026 Jensen treats it with utmost respectThat's how you know it is a timeless piece.
>Fell for the 1080ti when the 2080ti was just around the corner
>>108972152The 2080Ti is basically a 1080Ti with supported drivers at this point, it's Tensor cores are generally too weak for all the modern fun things and it's raster performance is comparable.Personally, I ran off of a 1060 until I got a used 3090 in early 2025, alongside 64GB of RAM as DDR4 was piss cheap so why not.Boy was that a good call. All I'd be upgrading now is the 12400 to a 12900K, and that's been unaffected by the crisis.
Something tells me we aren't going to see affordable storage ever again
>>108972204A gold rush doesn't last forever anon. I mean, plenty of interests want you to stay doompilled like this, be it slop peddlers like Steve Burke or CXMT, but if you look at it realistically, this shortage isn't affecting just home consumers that have a need to buy newest and greatest every year. It affects every single industry that's not datacenters. All those electric cars that every major manufacturer is betting on? Or hell, the modern ICE ones? Those need those chips as well, and you can fuck over every other industry for so long before the cascade effect comes back to bite you in the ass. But we're talking waiting on quarterly earning meetings when all the investors decide whether to invest, or pull out of their investments.Either this year or Q1 2027 I'm expecting the dam to break. The AI investors are not the only players in the game, and it's only a matter of time when the rest of the global market says "enough" to this idiocy.
>>108972204Tfw you didnt boughted 5x 8TB Nvmemes and 192gb DDR5it's over this was the gen I really should not have been stingemaxxed
brightness is king but damn miniled dimming looks like asseven with all the new meme tech oled monitors looks like oled tvs are are still quite literally the best
if I run a gen 5 ssd in a pc that can only use pcie 3, am I going to get the high power draw and temperature issues that the gen 5 has on pcie5?
>>108972240So true sister! Corpos will save the common man!
Is Speccy retarded?It can't even tell what RAM I'm using.
>>108972621>didn't read a word of what was said>defaults to a smug responseStop humiliating yourself.
>>108972621If you are employed right now (probably not) you only are so because of corporations. No, you are not owed anything.
>>108972633>Using Speccy in 2026I think you are the problem Anon.Try HWiNFO.
>>108972663>Try HWiNFO.Thanks, this is better.
>>108972204If you can't afford storage, even at current prices, you are dirt poor.It's only a few hundreds for a 4TB SSD not hundreds of thousands.
>>108972703Try harder, heard that bait before
>>108972713If you're poor it's your own fault. It's not the fault of someone else.
>>108972608yes and nonvmes are supposed to have a feature called aspm/apst which brings power draw down instead of running them at max but not all drives have this working properly and this can lead to higher power draw or your drive disappearing until your disable it.
>>108972771>>108972608I have had zero issue with my gen 5 NVMe's.They are at like 30C or 40C all the time. And they rated to run at 75C safely.
>>108972771are they going to stop making gen 3 ssds? I have some old machines and laptops I'd rather have gen 3 and low temps than gen 4 or 5 on them, hope they don't get discontinued.
>>108972907>going toanon
>>108972907They stopped making new gen 3 SSDs sometime ago but you can probably find budget Western Digitals out there although overpriced may as well get gen 4 or 5.
>>108972907I have one of those fancy external m2 readers. I tried it with a Samsung 990 pro and 9100 pro. The 990 pro would be at 48 to 50 °C while reading and writing files and the 9100 pro at max 40 °C due to capped transfer rate from USB. Take it with a grain of salt but I'd assume you'd get similar results when you install the ssd in a PCIe 3 slot as they're then limited in max read and write speed.
>found out about the bc 250>got excited>$150 is a fine price I guess>hear it used to be $70>excitement vanishesit's over, fuck jewtubers, not worth it at this price to play shit at 1080p 40 fps on low
>>108972991it's a driver nightmare, Officialbudgetbuilds channel on YouTube tried to game on it. It crashes in timespy and fire strike, even the chink GPU can pass those.
>>108973035the ship is sailed anyway, not paying above $80 for that, not worth it
crazy how tpu coverage of computex is the only one that is good, I mean niggas go to taiwan (china) and only talk to coolermaster and lian li meanwhile tpu actually visits all the boothes and shows us cool new stuff
I didn't even install my cpu cooler, waiting for the 5800x3d, and deepcool already made a new better version of it
>>108973131oh they actually covered Seasonic>OptiGuard PSU uses bluetooth>software for monitoringit just looks like MSI solution but without MSI Center. The question is how well is Seasonic at making software or are they on the same retard level as nearly every endconsumer hardware manufacturor
new deepcool assassin V elite will have 8 heatpipes, improved vapor chamber and 140mm fansnoctua can't even compete at this point
>>108973131Perhaps I've judged TPU too harshly...I always like to bitch how they love shitting out clickbait articles like "Windows steals a feature from Linux" which was about a PowerToys feature that copied that of KDE, which itself is a copycat of Windows' DE, yet they really are the only ones walking around the booths and reporting on the new shit while the fat fuck I used to watch for Computex coverage prefers to daydream about having a foursome with Jensen Huang, Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein and making it everyone's problem.
A higher quality video of Jensen signing the 1080 dropped.https://x.com/VideoCardz/status/2062136695546315243https://files.catbox.moe/skwwsu.mp4Turns out it wasn't the Ti.
my psu killed himself for being a cocksucking faggot (i didn't stop him)is the HX1200i any good?
lel casual Jensen is chill as shit nglhttps://files.catbox.moe/tolafj.mp4Completely different dude when he doesn't have to poster for the US military complex or other bullshit like that
>5070Ti>9850x3d>32GB DDR5 36CL>4TB Gen 5 NVMe SSDWill this build last me until the end of the AI market crash?
we're in the most cursed timeline when it comes to cases, it's all stupid fishtanks and rgb puke

>>108973325It will last you until mandatory hardware seizures by NWO in 2028. You will stream you PC and you will like it.
>>108973328I'm sure if you look a little harder you can find the gay officecore case you're looking for.
>>108973328i've had three builds in my giant phantek enthoo, it's like 12 years old at this point

>>108973386nope, it's literally all fishtanks
Noctua all the things
>>108973386>>108973449I think this looks cool.
>>108973476Corsair going back to their roots
>>108973476yeah, there's the new haf 500 too, it's alrightI don't like weird spec fans but if you can use 2x 200m on front and 1x140 on the back it's probably a very good case to get, but I'm still waiting for the horizontal cases to make a comeback... disappointed that gamdias didn't show a new neso case.
>>108973301>le corpolord is so le chill and le relatable because he also goes to the bathroom fr ts nc ngl desu Are you 15 or just fucking retarded
>>108972736No, it's your ancestors' faultYou can't make yourself wealthy without a miracle, you can only make your kids start closer to wealth, but that's too much of a sacrifice to ask for the average goy, that's why they're all poor.
>>108973459>Q2 2027given that this is a prototype does this mean the OptiGuard enterprise TX-1300/1600 will release Q3 or Q4 2026?
So, considering components are a bit of a mess right now anyone buying nice accessories or other non-core system parts for their setups?
>>108973595embrace the keyboard autism anon
>>108973595not buying anythingleave the money in the bank earning interests and upgrading when zen 8 launches is the play
>>108973328>>108973386There is near perfection in cases and people want to yell at the fish tanks.
>>108973672that's a stupid monstrous case, it's only meant for custom loop, not a normal day to day case, phanteks is also launching a new enthoo, it's the same categoryI think the matx cases nowadays are catering more towards the performance enthusiasts while mid towers are all eye candy glass and rgb
>>108973672They're trolls, there are lots of cases being shown that aren't all glass but they chose to focus on the glass ones just so they can bitch.
>>108973689They make the AX700 for plebsEven with a solid panel
>>108973595Yeah uhh I paid like over $600 for this Model F repro hopefully I'll get it this month finally
>>108973386>you can find the gay officecore case you're looking forI went to microcenter and they didn't have a single case in the entire store without a window. I had to go to the literal jew store to get one. It's just the solid panel version of a window case. I'm going to become a Fractal Design shill like the other anon because it's one of the few companies making modern cases with solid panels. I'm not against transparent cases, but the options for solid cases are extremely limited in comparison.
>>108973328Cool looking fans
>>108973761Because they're objectively shit and worse for airflow?
>>108973558Deranged leftists are wild.
>>108973290check if your PSU is still under warranty (some high end PSU's have 5-10 years warranty).then you could unscrew and open the PSU and take a looksie if a capacitor is blown up or something visually wrong, then you can just buy 20 capacitors for like $5 on china + $50 kit to replace the capacitor, the other common part to fail would be the mosfets that are screwed to the heatsinks (by the way, the huge capacitors can kill you, but usually it's safe after being unplugged for a while since regulations require them to be self-discharged, and to actually die, you need to make the electricity go between your left and right hand, if it's just only between your fingers you might only lose feeling in your fingers).
>>108973780A glass side panel and a metal one have the same airflow. You just need airflow flowing in the front and out the back, everything else is gay.
Why did ugly RBGay shit like this >>108973328 become the gamer marketing strategy? It literally adds nothing of value. My PC is just a black box with fans.

holy shit I haven't checked amd stock in a minute>tfw I didn't have 100k to drop pre ryzen when it was 2$
>>108973861It isn't. I used a level to make sure it's 100% flat.
>>108973886have you measured your case as whole as well?
Almost done with my build, I just need an NVME SSD. Suggestions? I'm in the US and this is mainly for flight sim games on Windows and Linux. I'd like to find a 1Tb boot drive for around $200, I'll supplement with old school SATA drives if I need more storage until prices come down. I'm not too familiar with all the cache technologies that NVMEs use, but I've seen that a lot of them are built to move like, 300gb files, and that's very rare for me. I think my biggest data moves will be installing large games, occasionally editing small videos, and maybe moving some ISOs around. I'm not sure how much performance I'll need out of a boot drive for this use case but I do know that loading up a flight sim can take a while.
>>108973913Forgot linkhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/3LL6rG
>>108973905The PCIe slot is level as well.So unless the card itself has an angle on it, it's straight.
>>108973925fair enough. I had the situation that the case was slightly tilted forward likewise 100% flat wasn't level with the PCIe slot
>>108973949I'm OCD, I made sure to check both. Though, the angle of the picture I posted does make it look off.
>>108972029I'm in the US looking to upgrade my workstation. I'm currently running a motherboard with an AM4 socket and don't really want to move to AM5 to cut costs. My budget is 400 up to 800 for a new GPU and new processor. I'm primarily doing work and playing games in 1080P on a 144HZ monitor and I'd like to keep it that way.Current Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DonnyFox/saved/2Mtccfhttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/Qk2bt6/amd-ryzen-9-5950x-34-ghz-16-core-processor-100-100000059wofhttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/TcG2FT/gigabyte-gaming-oc-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-gv-r9060xtgaming-oc-16gdWould these two do me well for an upgrade? Also, should I consider replacing my H100I? I've had the same cooler since about 2019, but it hasn't done me wrong at all so far.
>>108973792>leftistsI think democracy is fake and women should be property, thank you.
Have (you) ever used Intel Optane? What was it like?
>>108974093They had really low queue depth speeds for SSDs. In other words they made really good boot drives. Basically on par with today's NVME drives but with no space and super expensive.
>>108974013> Would these two do me well for an upgrade?Only if you have CPU heavy workloads. That 16-core is not good for gaming. The 5800X3D would be much better for this. For a 16-core I would recommend a more potent AIO but for the 5800X3D the H100i would still be ok I guess.
>>108974093the conversation is largely redundant as Intel-aviv don't sell those drives to consoomers anymore. It was in theory a good selling point for intel-aviv builds over AMD if you wanted to be a power gamer and have a lightning-fast startup i guess.
>>108974279I'll change the list accordingly to add the 5800X3D, but if that's the case I may need to switch to an AM5 board. Thank you anon. Second question I should've asked. Would it be worth going to Minneapolis to buy from Micro Center or all the deals online these days?
Its over
>>108973558>You can't make yourself wealthy without a miracle I could have ( >>108973885 )its now over
>>108973328silverstone exists, stop bitching.
>>108974451Eh, overtime it is.Wage cage calls.
>>108974546Only good thing about working at scamazon, mandatory 10hr/ 4 day, they "encourage"(fire everyone who won't) 10hr/5day, but they also offer the option to work all 7 days. Guess I'll do 7 days for the next 3 months and that should cover a decent new PC.
>>108974546it's over
>>108974451drama queen junior
>>108974442> if that's the case I may need to switch to an AM5 boardNo, for the 5800X3D you need not switch to AM5. You could just keep the current one. Just get 2x8GB more RAM for the win.
>>108974580Working at scamazon is peak slave experience, it will make you feel like you are in concentration camp. They have those cool motivational quotes all over the place as well.Highly recommended, because guards won't shoot you if you will want to leave. At least I hope so.
>>108974624I was looking into the prices for the 5800X3D and I think I'll try and snag one once they release later this month.At the cost of asking a stupid question, Is there a noticeable QOL difference in 32gb of RAM vs 16?
>>108974642You either tune everything out and focus on the mind numbing work or you quit, no on between. I'd rather work in the warehouse because drivers aren't even allowed to piss in peace.
>>108974649Once it's fully automated people should be happy about that.What an awful place.
>>108974667except it won't be automated ever, that is why they are obsessed with importing cheap jeets all of a sudden because automation has failed to scale.
>>108974682>importing cheap jeetsNo such thing, everyone who works either lives in the same city or the surrounding areas. Jeets are only being brought in to work on the AI vibe coding
>>108974642I'd work in a warehouse for nowonly one problemnobody can hiregetting a job is a nightmare
>>108974706that is simply not true
>>108974682>never That's a very long time, I can't predict what will happen in 10 years.I haven't worked there for a long time so maybe you are right but many other warehouses I worked at have a lot of automation.
>>108974743Ia m telling you I work in one of their warehouses, everyone who works here lives in the area or the surrounding cities. No one is importing jeets to do work that people are already willing to do.

This is the ugliest shit I have ever seen what the fuck.
>>108975380Reminds me of some fucked up hentai that a friend showed me when I was a teen. Some girl using acid to make as many orifices as possible.Wish I didn't come into the thread at all now.
I need to move around some fans in my PC, and cable manage better. While I have it open, is it worth putting one of these things over my CPU? Will it improve thermals at all? I mean, it's only 5$, right?
>>108975380I think it looks really cool but its wasted on a gigabyte board let's be real. asus or msi need to release cool unique motherboards and then we'll be talking
>>108975247It's amazing how desperately certain people want reviewers to just go back to being extensions of the marketing arms of the Taiwanese PC industry.A tech reviewer's only job to these people is review samples sent by manufacturers and should not dare open their mouths about how much they are fucking you.
Is this actually true? Does off setting the AIO heatsink actually help AM5 CPUs?
>>108975442That's their job, yes. Preferably if they could do good in depth reviews on how the device works at a low level like anandtech or hothardware used to do

>>108975380Why not release a barebone with 3d printable addons?
Was looking at buying this AIO for a future first build (not probably ever going to happen) and was wondering what this oval thing is? I circled it in red for those vision impaired.
>>108975473Yeah, it's a few degrees difference. Intel also has the same kind of thing, the hottest spot is slightly offset from center on both.
>>108975653That is an rgb atx 24 pin cable. You can see the same kind of design on the gpu at the bottom of the picture.
>>108975653It's a 24pin extension. Probably an Asiahorse Hydrus or similar
>>108975665>>108975668Thanks
>>108975653Why aren't we making vertical-oriented cases yet? How much is the weightbloat gonna reach?
>>108975693honestly future pcs should look something like those chink mini pcshave some nvidia gpu + cpu soc, low wattage, small power delivery system, efficient cooling with 1 fan, soldered ram with unified memory, and couple nvme slots

>>108975693Aren't cases already vertical? How much vertical do you want anon?
>>108975714Just buy a Mac mini then
>>108975733this vertical, probably.
>>108975738why?Im saying current pc's are pointlessly space inefficient and when you get a decent nvidia soc for windows going you can drastically miniaturize it, while having all the gaming features, cuda.
>>108975733I mean the gpu and cpu cooler pointing vertically with the mobo flat.
>>108975743Fuck off shill, I don't want an Nvidia soc on my PC
>>108975749you want amd? Intel?Snapdragon?Apple silicon?

>>108975762might as well move to 48v once and for all if they're gonna retcon atx psusthat will instantly make the 12v-2x6 safe when its only pulling 2.5A per pin
>>108973328I hate to say it, but I learned this from interior decorating (yeah I know its gay, but I'm not) but lighting makes all the difference from Movies, to rooms, to even video games, how you light (or don't light) is around 50% of making something look aesthetic.I'm actually a fan of the fish cases, not so much the lights to be honest, but I do like how cases are moving away from cheap plastic and aluminum to more premium materials like full 3 out of 4 walls glass.
>>108975766No idea, but here's the cooler master shark X
>>108975766I 2nd this, I'm wondering about open air cases, dual pc cases, and other less conventional cases as well. Are there artisan or completely custom cases?
>>108975789>cooler master shark XThat's pretty fucking cool. I bet the thermals in it are awful, though.
>>108975789That's actually pretty cool but the rbg at the base is lame, it should be a soft, dull white light to make it look menacing and allow the rgp in the eyes and around the "fin pit" to stand out more while also casting a menacing look when the lights are off.
>>108975801just use openrgb to set it to whatever you want
>>108975809openrgb is great but it has its handful of problems and for some reason I get the feeling this case might be one of them.
>>108975766I only know of elmore labs, they constantly make artistic builds to show off in conventions.
>>108975789There's no way they actually want 5.5k for this thing.
>>108975762Intel just showed off the new ATX standard for motherboards and it should be 12v like the melting connector. I expect we'll see it with am6/ whatever the fuck Intel name's their socket.
>>108975819coolermaster seems to be generally very well supported on openrgb
>>108973578>>108973459It takes 12 months to stick a fan in a box
>>108975796it should be for water cooling and right below the shark is a giant water reservoir with real fish swimming around. idk I'm high as fuck.
>>108975821>2slots gpu>single fan aio
>>108973476Hell yeah that's sick. 12 year old me would've battlefield vietnam'd so hard with that.My friend and I used to turn up to the town v. town lan parties wearing combat fatigues with the sleeves torn off, red bandanas around our heads and absolutely rape those fags from the next town overgood times
>>108973476>>108973481If these cases are made of plastic and aluminum I'm not buying them, give me copper, stainless steel, or brass cases.
Can the 5080 really handle 4k games that much better than a 5070Ti?On average the specs seem like 9% better. If not less.
>>108975861It's literally the same core
>>108975846The shark looks so cool it defies physics and just cools the gpus naturally, dummy.
Would you use this PC?
>>108975881I think carving a pc case from marble or even from 1 piece of stone is the way to go, if you add mortar in it your going to destroy it as the morter creates sand-like grit as it reacts to the heat and air and completely fuck your system.Obviously its made of plastic and it looks like shit so... No...
>>108975890It's ai generated
>>108975893I know anon... I'm not fucking 50.
>>108975893No way. What gave it away? The random squiggles written all over the parts?
>>108975766Apparently a company called inWin makes a bunch of really artsy cases
>>108975893>answers the question posted>"erm this is actually AI"Is this the new "I'm actually pretending to be retarded"?
>>108975896If you knew, you wouldn't have said it's made of plastic.
>>108975906God forbid I stay on topic and entertain your question!
>>108975904I mean, why did the guy say "Obviously its made of plastic" to an AI photo?
>>108975911Not everyone who replies to you is the same person.Also, I don't the AI to make it out of rocks. So it's obviously not plastic. Checkmate.
>>108975914Because if that PC case was made IRL it would be plastic
>>108975914The image is right there anon, you don't think the AI was mimicking faux rocks you see all the time in landscaping? Real rocks don't really look like that.
sharty bots going on overdrive
>>108975917We're assuming that if the case weren't ai generated, then it would be made of the material depicted, not just plastic bullshit. There's no point in entertaining the idea of a tacky plastic design.
>>108975917People have made actual rock PC cases before.
>>108975927Yes, people, but the original post was implying this would be a mass produced product you could buy.
>>108975940You sure do a lot of baseless assuming.
>>108975927That's kinda cool desu, though I don't know how I feel about just "sliding" it in there, I'd at least try to figure out how to mount it into the rock.
>>108975944It's how I pass the time
Hey, I have 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of Samsung 990 that I panic-bought before prices started going through the roof, but I have no free motherboard or CPU to pair with them. What should you do?
>>108975958Buy one of those bundles that come with the CPU and motherboard.
>>108975958Mail them to my PO box.
>>108975958buy a cpu/mobo combo, save some money, point and laugh at people.
Does putting your PC on a wire rack help with thermals at all?
>>108975745>>108975693>Fractal MoodThese vertical case look cool, but I would assume they perform horrible thermal wise?
>>108975979>>108975967thx>>108975968maybe later
>>108976012It's ok. Not every computer has to push maximum performance, and these are pretty nice aesthetically. I actually have >>108975739 this one in my meme machine, and it's nice.
>>108975982no but put it under your room vent
how come AMD hasn't announched FSR 4.1 support for Geforce 10 series yet???
>>108976121Because AMD hates gamers and is a shitty company this is why you should've bought Nvidia, they support all their cards.
>>108976121Pascal doesn't support Int8
>>108976151nice excuse AMD shill
>>108976180its not AMDs fault that Nvidia discontinued driver support for Pascal or that you're still using a discontinued version of Windows.
>>108976135>they support all their cardsvibe-sport
>>108976208DLSS4.5 is on all their cards chud, unlike AMD who continues to ignore their 60 series and already said that the 90 series would not receive further support.
>>1089758615070ti has fewer cuda cores than a 3090

Only holy science for my eyes.I can't believe there would be apostates promoting fake pixels.
>>10897622260 series is getting FSR 4 early next year
>>108975927how much longer until we learn to programme solid objects with instructions like the ayys do?

why would anyone feel the need to bring up amd gpus ittits a pc building general, and amd has no relevant products in the categorythey make zero profits from desktop gpu line for like 8 years now
>>108976265Why would you feel the need to tell everyone how brown you are?

deciding between a 9070xt vs a 5070 i know the performance and raw power is on amd's side but ive always used nvidia is there any reason to not get a AMD gpu? im going to be playing 1080p
>>108976402Only if you need full bandwidth dp2.1 80gbps for 1080p 500hz monitors since amd only supports dp2.1 54gbpsOtherwise the 9070xt is the superior GPU

I wonder how people like the guy above come here to ask about amd gpusdo they google some youtube video about 9070 vx 5070, the review only mentions fps number in a game and nothing else, then they go "wow amd is good value" I've seen reviews that completely ignore the nvidia value add featureset, so that seems misleading.

Do you trust using new components for building or is even the hardware spyware these days. Havent built a system since 2014 and it just works, but I am getting the itch to build again. Just dont know if I should buy new components or just start picking up second hand pieces to build my next rig.
>>108975380Tryptophobia mobo cover
>>108976883if you're comfortable with your ancient hardware you could always find a new case that you like and mount your hardware in it
>>108975411I looked into those some time ago as well and on AM5 they only seem to improve thermals very slightly but make it easier to apply thermal paste. However some people mentioned they void any sort of warranty as you have to remove the original latch from the motherboard
>>108976727oh cool my GPU can also hypothetically process other shit, as if it wasn't already melting trying to render anything in UE5 while my Ryzen 9 goes bald and gets fatactual nonsense AI jeetslop
There's one thing I don't get in the industry's chase to solve Nvidia's fuck-up of using a mechanically weak connector with high power draw GPU's with no load balancing. Everyone is doing some bullshit with temperature sensors that require a dedicated PSU and dedicated software to function, and none of it sounds like a solution, more like a gimmick. You now have to rely on a piece of software to ensure your GPU's power cable has proper contact and isn't pushing too much amperage over one pin? With the connector's temperature being the only parameter used to ensure that? Fucking retarded.Now, I may be lacking elementary electric knowledge here by saying this, but couldn't you just.. load balance on the cable itself? Have it so that it'll clamp down the amount of power the GPU can suck up if it detects elevated amperage and signal it with the four pins to the GPU to avoid sudden shutdowns? Maybe add a warning beeper as well? That way you'd have a universal solution to the problem without needing to buy a brand new PSU for your gimmick probe.So fat the ROG Equalizer seems like the most sensibly engineered solution. It has some further undisclosed "conductive bridging architecture", but most importantly it opted for thicker cables to handle higher amperages, which is a pretty logical way to alleviate some of the issues of the idiotic 12VHPWR connector or whatever the fuck they're calling it now, they should've just scrapped it and did 12+4 on full-size pins, Nvidia could still fit that on their super duper tiny FE PCB's.
