Seasonic asks you to gamble your $1,000+ GPU that its new 16-pin connector won't melt — company gives out a free 16-pin power cable for beta testing

Seasonic.

Seasonic is ready with its new ATX 3.1 compliant 12V-2x6 connector to replace the 12VHPWR (16-pin) power connector, unofficially dubbed the 'RTX 4090 killer', for its power supplies. Seasonic is also willing to give these cables to 100 users in China for free if users sign up for beta testing with their graphics cards that utilize a 16-pin power connector and a compatible Seasonic power supply.

The beta test application is open until December 31st, and it's for users with either Focus, Vertex, or Prime series ATX 3.0 compliant power supplies and GPUs with a 12VHPWR connector. Though many would like to see this be tested with an RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, two of the best graphics cards, some GPUs with a much lower draw use this connector.
