A flood of dodgy-looking 16-pin cables and converters have arrived at retailers, and Akasa is adding to the pile with two new converters, the 'G-Nexus P24' right-angled adapter and a 'G-Nexus PX24' cable adapter that is advertised as being able to convert three 8-pin connectors for a 'legacy' power supply into a PCIe 5.0 standard 12VHPWR PCIe 12+4P connector that's able to support up to 600W for the RTX 40-series cards that require it. Unfortunately, details about the connectors are light, and the lack of information makes these connectors feel more than a bit dodgy. This seems to be a growing trend.
The issue of poorly documented 12VHPWR converters and extensions isn't limited to Akasa. A slew of dodgy cables, adapters, and converters have popped up in online listings from lesser-known companies like Sirlyr, Ezdiy-Fab, Mod-DIY, Joyjom, and CY, among many others. Most of these vendors don't provide critical information, and it's rational to expect they will not help you with repairs or replacements to any equipment damaged by the connector.
