We return to talk about the news of the RTX 30. In this case, one of the most important factors is that the RTX 30 will use 12 pins, and will come with a special cable in the case of those made by Corsair.
As recently unveiled, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 GPUs are loaded with new features. In addition to a new cooling system, notable performance improvements and very adjusted prices, the RTX 30 series GPUs will require new requirements for their power in the case of the RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090 TDP is 220W, 320W and 350W respectively.

This will be the power supply of the RTX 30
The recommended power supply is now 850W, higher than recommended in previous generations. Thus, the GPUs will need more Watts for their consumption, which would make it necessary to add additional 8-pin connectors. But NVIDIA has preferred to change the type of power connector, replacing the 8-pin with a 12-pin one.
An 8-pin to 12-pin dual cable adapter is included with each GPU. It is a cable that we cannot choose, so Corsair has thought about designing a 12 pin cable own for the company's modular fountains. This Corsair cable has better components than standard cables, such as better design or materials. Finally, it is known that the 12-pin cable for the RTX 30 will be ready for when the new GPUs for which it is designed are put on sale.
This already warns us that we will have to prepare well for that new series of graphs. We may have to make a greater outlay on the subject of components beyond the graph. One of them would be to improve the power and capacity of our power supply, as well as the fans so that our computer does not overheat.
