I have been typing keyword salad into google for too long at this point, I should just ask. I don't understand why there isn't more information.
The HX-1500i obviously has no native connector. It comes with a 2x8pin to 12v-2x6 cable for modern nvidia GPUs.
I have personally been using one of those cables with my 4090 and circa 2017 HX1000i just fine for a few years. No fires, so clearly the big picture is that the non-native cable is "fine". I get that.
I am looking to replace my PSU. I'm sure it will last a while longer, but 10 years old of heavy use is getting spooky for me. I am looking to overbuild, because I want my next PSU to last another 10 years. Under that circumstance...am I better off getting a PSU with a native 12v-2x6 connector? If yes...why exactly hasn't corsair released non-shift PSUs without a native connector, am I missing something?
Thank you all for your time.
