Power won't be an issue with that unit but the use of adapter cables on a RTX 5090 can be. Since you are looking at new units, I would pass and get a quality ATX 3.X unit as there are enough headaches as is using 12V-2×6 cables with the RTX 5090.

Isn't it safe to use original cable adapter from NVIDIA???
I thought only 3rd party are melting. Also that 3.1
it melts even in PSU side
. So here only GPU side can melt4x 8 pin > 1x 12 pin.

Truth is, at this point everyone who gets a 5090 is part of a testing group. What is and what isn't safe is still quite unclear.

I think soon they will release 2x 12 pin variants and that's it. It will have headroom until 1000W TDP. Win win

The nvidia octopus included in the gpu box is probably the safest thing there is. Your psu is fine, I don't have an atx3 either, my 4090 is still fine (bought it day one)Isn't it safe to use original cable adapter from NVIDIA???

Spending well over 2000 dollars on a 5090 , and cheaping out on a PSU ! I went with a Seasonic Prime TX 1600 watt atx 3.1 , 5090 is 4X the cost , if you can afford one and not the other ?? bunch of click bait and posers .

but why do I need 1600W for 600W card?
1600 is for 2x sli or smth.

Cheaping out? My PSU costs 450€, and the seasonic op is looking at is over 250. What the heck are you talking about bud?
Just ignore , the ATX spec has nothing to do with how safe the card is. ATX 3 psus are just supposed to handle spikes better. In fact a non ATX 3 PSU is safer when it comes to the melting issue since there is only one point of failure vs 2 on an ATX 3 PSU.

atx 3 difference in the first glance is 12 pin from psu instead of 8 pin ones, so it can melt not only in GPU but in PSU connector too.

Exactly. A non ATX 3 PSU doesn't use the 12 pin on the PSU side, so you avoid the melting on that side. You can also buy a cable that goes from PSU straight to 12vhp into your GPU if you don't want to use nvidias octopus

The psu itself by output can handle it but the connection from nv on their gpus and the design spec of the psu side is a bad design.

There's no good reason to risk using an older 2.0 PSU with the old specification cable on a new 2025 GPU.

Let's assume Jay2Cents did his homework. He mentioned in one of his last videos that those newer NVIDIA graphic card connector cables have some sort of mark.
If I really wanted a nvidia 5090 - I would get a quality psu like your seasonic one and would get a newer revision with the newer marking for the nvidia gpu connector.
Checking for the correct seating before you use the hardware should be obvious.
As of now, in my point of view, Nvidia did not really state why it happens or gave any improvements. It could be anything, which also may be bad circuit design of the graphic card, bad circuit design of the power supply, cables, bad connectors on the psu side or bad connectors on the graphic card side. Nvidia did not really gave any statement. I think that issue happens for more than 12 months.
I would call that a hoax - not a proper way of dealing with an issue. Please check the date of this tech article / press statement / statement

NVIDIA Claims 16-Pin Power Connector Issues are Over, No More Melting
During a recent press event in South Korea, NVIDIA addressed concerns about power connector safety for their upcoming RTX 5090 graphics card. The new GPU will consume 575 watts of power, marking a massive 225-watt increase from its predecessor, the RTX 4090. The previous generation RTX 4090...

ATX 3 for you.
They should make 2x 12 pin cards for those beefy 600W GPU's

We have a dedicated topic with speculations and a lot of "troll" posts myself to a certain degree only about that connector. 30 sites of fun afaik.
I think opinions about that connectors belong to that other topic.
Post #1 Wattage should be enough. Brand is a very good brand as far as I know. You may check the cables - I think Seasonic make good cables also.
The only thing poster #1 did not say - if there are wishes for overclocking and shunt mods. I think some overclockers use 1600 Watt PSU.

you can be ATX 3.x using either a native cable or the dual 8 pin to 12 pin connector cable (not to be confused with the adapter). In fact if you use either form in 3.0 you are automatically 3.1 spec.
Nvidia octopus has the 12v-2x6 pins soldered to the pcb, so the pins won't move like in Jays video and you can bend the cables as much as you want until the pcb breaks. Nvidia can't blame you for using a 3rd party(psu cables are 3rd party) cable. PSU manufacturer can't blame you for using a cable that was not supplied with the psu.
