I'm no engineer but i sure think like one. What fascinates me most about this tech is that it pretty much relies entirely on the capillary effect instead of channels for the condensed fluid to find its way back to the heat source. Any fluid - just as electrons - would follow the path of least resistance, by having mesh on the bed within the chamber, they are in fact slowing down the flow of any fluid that condensed from the ceiling. I would definitely redesign the internal structure to emphasize free flow, as well as lower the bed in areas where heat is present to further force condensate to those areas (similar to how a sloped balcony or porch directs rain away from ones house).. On the other hand, maybe they've already tested this and found that the capillary effect is better for devices that change orientation such as phones, who knows..

I should connect my 3090 rog strix with a direct pcie cable and another with the pigtail to complete the remaining 2 pcie?

Another issue with these pigtail cables, is usually they stick out and are hard and then you cannot shut the glass front case.

Even GPU and PSU manuals recommend 2 separate cables from GPU to PSU if needed. No pigtails.

It might be possible to use a PicoPSU for a NAS if you go for 2.5 inch drives over 3.5 - much more efficient per TB and much lower peak power draw per drive (granted they are more expensive per TB and lower capacity per drive)

Yeah once you pulled out that daisy chain cable you were going to have a bad time you can only do a Molex to one (or two) SATA plug(s) safely. Now if you were going to need a multi drive setup you can get a Icy Dock 5.25 to four 2.5" SATA SSD Dock to work on that. The dock only requires two SATA power plugs to power all four SSDs.

Cannot agree. While using a splitter cable, my PC kept crashing when playing games. It all went fine after I changed to two indivdual cables. PC becomes rock stable now.

Used that back on those carputer days.

Well, I can't get any kind of pc or mini pc with any psu to use less power than a low power laptop. As for nas, four of five ssd on a pico is fine, most likely, and get an olmaster 4 bay to power four sata off one molex

Been using pigtails 2x8 corsair 650watts for my rx 6800xt, never had issues and runs cool, pci-e cables doesn't heat up

Used a pigtail 2x8 pin on a 6700xt and now on a 3070 and it seems to work fine, 650w MSI power supply, the 6700 doesn’t go above 200w and the 3070 doesn’t go above 240w that’s probably why I haven’t had issues

This must be the most boring video on RUclips 😂

Read the manual of the PSU for the correct configuration for your GPU. Every PSU (Corsair, Be quiet, EVGA) I have purchased has either advised on 2 separate cables for cards with two 8-pin ports. Or has a warning stating that we should balance the load across the available two 12v rails also meaning to use two cables. Your card might look to be working fine with a single pig tail cable but it isn't worth the risk. I made the mistake of using a pigtail for a 7900XT and although it was working for several hours of gaming, I would get random kernel event 141 errors on light tasks. It was the PSU - GPU cable config that was the issue. Yes low draw tasks, weird huh? Don't take my word for it, read your manual. I think the PSU manufacturer would know what's best for the PSU they designed.

What about 4070 ti super i have two separate cables and both have pigtails

I have one of the pcie cable pigtails on my rtx 4070ti connected to an aio(icue h150i). But my pc is acting a bit weird...i wonder if using the pigtail is the cause?

Pigtails I did for years, but I switched to 2 separate cables now. 2 separate gives more stable fps, I noticed.

Please help sir...i have 2 gtx 980 My psu have 8+8 only 2 gpu want 8+8/8+8 Safe to use 8 pin to 16 pin cable

A it depends on the card and how much it draws B these cables killed my 1080 slowly C just don't use them stay safe they have a stigma for a reason they just are not as good as the single 8 pins a rating of power is not a hard confirmation of what they can handle the 16 pin is a testament to this since they literally melt if they are even slightly loose and they are rated for 600 watts on a 450 watt card.

Being running my OC's 1080ti with a pigtail cable for 7 years and the card can do over 310 watt under heavy load. Nothing wrong with it (PSU is a CM850V I thought), just bough a 4070 super to replace it on monday will run it the same way in the adapter. Good informative video btw :D

So I have a 3080 fe gpu with the 12, 6+2 connection can I just not use the +2 and just connect my gpu using 2 6 pin if that make sense ?.

Can I use a pigtail with awg 16 with it is supposed to handle even 400 watts, to power a rtx 4070 super? I have a cooler master 750 80 plus bronze modular semi fanless ver with ocp, ovp and opp certification and also should I use two of them? Bc I have 2 awg 16 pigtails

I have just melted the power connector using this pigtail. I use a 7900 XT with 4 monitor setup. The cable or the connectors was not able to handle the heat. I'll never use a pigtail again in a GPU scenario.

how can i see witch conector my powersuply has witout taking apart my all in on gamepc ?

6:10 i think Corsair identified an issue early out. They do not use the 12 connector on their PSUs. And how they designed this cable could have been what influenced the new 12v 2x6 connector.

I have a pigtail cpu connector is that safe to plug both into motherboard?

The real question is. Does it allow for the full 133% to be used wirh poerr instead of limiting it to 100% like it would without using the 3rd cable into the adapter. If you could let me know that woupd be awesome.

can i use a 6pin to 2x 8pin pigtail connector for a 4070 super that draws 220w ?

I been using then even on a 4070 ti super and would even trust it on a 4080 super. This is such bull the stuff going around all because of old issues where someone had a bad psu and then this rumor started.

I just finished 1 week adventure to make dual channel memory working with with asus z690 mainboard....... less pressure on cooler screws and adding washers under cpu holding mechanism helped. Junk i must say.

i have a MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming X Graphics Card '8GB GDDR6, 1980Hz and a 600w thermaltake psu that comes with 2(6+2)pin. is it okay to use the 2 pigtailed 8pins?

So I have a Triple fan Gigabyte RX 6700XT 12gb OC, a b450m ds3h with 16gb of RAM and Ryzen 5 5600. My PSU is Corsair CV650 Bronze+ 80 with a single pigtail PCIe. Should I get my PSU replaced or is it alright to use pigtails?

I had to use 3 of these for my 7900xtx. It seems to work fine but I'm not a big fan of having extra connectors sticking out around my CPU cooler

No, they really aren't. That's why all of the major GPU and motherboard manufacturers recommend not doing this.

can 6800xt run with one pigtail? coolermaster v850 gold

Anyone use the pigtail with a 4070 super?

hi. I have problem with Intel i5-7600 which one of the edge is bent. Maybe because i screw the watercooling too tight. Any guide the best way to straighten it without breaking the board? its exactly only on the board side, not bending the IHS. i can't install dual channel RAM anymore, i assume because the bent part which makes the LGA pin can't contact with the CPU

Question: 7900 XTX. I've currently got it plugged up to 2 8 pin PSU spots and it's got 3 8 pin ports on the GPU. I'm using a pigtail to handle that. TDP is 375 watts, which is fine. However when I started overclocking it'll go above 400 watts. Typically I would have said in the past no - 150 watts per 8 pin + 75 watts from PCI-E so 375 is the top. However, it appears it'll be fine according to this video? I'll still be well within Molex spec I believe.

Can i try this with my 650 watt psu and rx 6900 xt ?

So, I have zotac rtx 3080 with 2×8 pin ports And my psu which is corsair 1000x 2021 have lots of pcie cables. I installed 1 cable with 2×8 pin. Should I be worried about that?

Should i use 3060ti rog strix with one dedicated cable that has 2*8pin connector? Or is it risky

I'm a gpu miner and I used these with 3070 ti cards pulling around 250-260w of power in total (around 230w through one cable and rest through riser) using one cable like this, I managed to melt the psu side ports of 2 power supplies one of which was asus rog strix top brand psu. so the cable might be fine but the connectors are dogshit and can't handle 230w of continuous power. after these burns I swapped to using 2 separate cables for one 3070ti not going above 150w per cable, and haven't had a problem in 3 years.

Thought my new 7800xt was defective switched from singular pcie with pigtail to individual pcie (2x) and now everything is smooth lol

If I have a power supply with 12VHPWR port onboard, can I use this cable to connect my ASUS ROG Strix RTX3080 with 3 8-pin connectors on it instead of using 3 x 8-pin to 3 x 8-pin???

Can i use pigtail in RTX 3070 Vision?

I'm going to build a new PC with Amd Ryzen 7 7700 (AM5), but I don't think that I need a contact frame. It looks solid. My former system was a Threadripper 1950X, which was cooled down by an Arctic Freezer eSports Duo air cooler. I'm going to buy the same cooler for my new build. Installing 2 Input and 3 Output fans... ✌️ By the way, great video!

It all matters if its muli railed or single railed. If its a single rail essentially the both of the tails are dc which means its split YES but its going into one current. Now if its multi railed you will have to be careful because it can overcharge one or the other tail and cause bsod/restarts and worst case scenario it can fry your pcie port directly on the pcie connectors and the pcie slot of the card. This when knowing and benchmarking your card to see if it spikes above 225W. Most psu's that are worth a damn are single railed anyways. Another reason to only go for certified gold only psu's, i.e quality psu's. Like EVGA, Corsair, Be quite, and seasonic.

Is it ok if I use two 6+2 pin pcie connectors for 3060

Wow thanks a TON, when I first saw this type of thing on my PSU I was like "the fuck is that?" 😂

would it also make the card very hot on the back?
