I said debossed cables. Like the kind Corsair, Asus, etc. are using are not debossed. I never said wires aren't typically debossed. You did not show "some cases". You provided CP-8920274 as an example. That's not a debossed cable. That's a normal cable, no deboss, with a sleeve over it.

I don't think anyone has compiled any kind of list about this matter. I can say that all Corsair 12V-2x6 cables are at least 105°C (I say at least because for a time, they were 125°C rated).

That's not supposed to happen because of the sense wires. That's what the sense wires are for. If the sense wires are wired for 600W, they should be using 16g wire. If the sense wires are wired for 300W or 450W, then the cable can use lower gauge wires. The PCIe spec says that if a lesser...

There's two different cables. One that you plug a 12V-2x6 that splits into two 6+2-pin PCIe cables that are typically rated at 80°C and often use 18g wire because they're made to support 300W TOTAL not 600W. There are two 8-pin (not PCIe, but like Type 4, for example) that go to a single...

You're talking about 12VHPWR to 2x 8-pin or 2x 8-pin to 12VHPWR? 2x 8-pin to 12VHPWR, at least as it pertains to Corsair cables, are 105°C. 12VHPWR to 2x8-pin are rated at 80°C and do sometimes use 18g. That's because we're talking about a 12VHPWR connector that is handling up to 600W vs...

We were talking about specific models Well... There's been a lot of back and forth here. I'm not going to directly address anyone, so I'll just start typing and you can choose to read it or not.... I'm late to the conversation. Some feelings were hurt... a cool down period was required...

Umm... Interesting that you're replying a year later ... Yes. Seasonic, FSP, Chicony, Acbel... All still make "industrial" PSUs with 80's for non-retail applications.

It's a Lite-On. Same OEM as the Cooler Master branded OMEN PSUs they used previously.

That's not how it works. You're moving larger D2D from inside the PSU to dedicated, appropriately sized, thus more efficient, D2D regulators on the motherboard. Your motherboard already has D2D that regulates lower voltages. What changes is you're regulating from 12V which is lower current...

Too hard to work with. SiC can do just as good a job for less money and less effort.

Or.. Just vents all over... and an aluminum housing. :D

Modular interface gets in the way, but maybe an 80mm exhaust on a Gold or Platinum. Submit it to Cybenetics to see if we can get a A+ rating. :D

You do realize that the Nightjar and fanless Seasonic are EXACTLY what I am describing when I say, "the current solution of 'just sell a 1200W PSU as an 850W PSU' is actually a much cheaper solution"? Because that is exactly what they are doing and why their cost is so high.

Yes. And that potting material is VERY expensive. I've looked into it to create a fanless PSU option, and the current solution of "just sell a 1200W PSU as an 850W PSU" is actually a much cheaper solution. You're not wrong. But we're talking about the PSU specifically. And yes... if there...

These guys are talking from a different market segment than what we're discussing, clearly. The investment in engineering and safety certification to change a BOM at a whim of a quality electronic product (I'll leave it generic like that) costs more than any cost savings. That said, there are a...
