The short version

What reviewers and owners say

  • r/nvidia · u/AccomplishedWill7083

    Critical

    An owner inspected the unused 12v-2x6 cable from his RM1000x and found several quality control defects, including a badly crimped sense wire with exposed copper, a bent 12v conductor, and inconsistently seated pin inserts.

Common questions

Does the RM1000x need an adapter for an RTX 50 series card?

No. Corsair includes a native 12V-2x6 cable in the box, so no adapter is needed for cards that use that connector.

Can I reuse Type 4 cables from another Corsair unit?

Corsair states that Type 4 cables from its RMx, RMi, HXi and AXi series are compatible, but cables from other brands or connector types should never be mixed.
