Not the card I wanted, so I might sell it. Rather have a Gigabyte Gaming OC or MSI Trio OC card.
 
5090 incoming from MSI, with a MSI ATX3.1 MPG 1000w, bundle crap.

Could use some thoughts here on the hook up:

Have a 1300w Superflower ATX 3.0, with the 12VHPWR cable, not impressed with that. Was going to use the adapter since more current carrying wires. Except the power supply only comes with 4 Pcie 8 pin cables and my motherboard takes one of them. One of my EVGA cables may work, just need to verify pin to pin continuity matches each other cable

The other option is to use the MSI 1000w power supply with 12V-2x6, except it has two of those connectors on each cable, one for the card, one for the power supply. Plus only has 3 Pcie 8 pin plugs. Will have to see the wire gauge of those 12V-2x6 cables, it comes with two of those cables, too bad the card does not use two.

Any thoughts, will appreciate.
 
I wouldn't use the MSI PSU for a 5090. The 1300 W Superflower should be enough and with a decent cable can work just fine.
 
There’s definitely a large variance in these 12v2x6 cables. I purchased a new ASRock PG1300G PSU for my Astral, and the included cable was an absolute pain to connect. It was a much tighter fit than Nvidia’s standard adapter that came with the card. However, once seated, it provided excellent amperage parity across all 6 pins as per ASUS software. I’m not at all worried about a meltdown.

Moral of the story is choose your cable wisely. The tighter the fit, the better!

Thinking the same way, the 12VHPWR cable wiring though I don’t think I would use on a 250w card. It may be fine, just don’t want to chance it. Adaptor I am fine with.

I will have to wait and see once it arrives. Don’t think I will use it but if the wires are beefy, 16 gauge or better maybe, just having two connectors on the same cable seems like double trouble.
