If you're one of the 23 people around the world who has managed to snag an RTX 5090, you might be tempted to splash out on a fancy set of power cables to make your new upgrade look the best it can. That got us thinking about what set would be best to use, so we asked a leading expert on power supplies for the low-down. Given his credentials, we expected a nuanced, detailed response but he settled for a five-word recommendation: "Do not buy adapters or extenders."
The expert in question just so happens to be Aris Mpitziopoulos and he's the CEO of Cybenetics, the global authority on testing and rating computer power supply units, and owner of tech site Hardware Busters. In short, he knows what's what when it comes to all things electrical engineering with PCs. And more to the point, he also knows exactly what you should be doing with power cable extenders and adapters for a new RTX 5090.
