Hi,
When I bought my desktop, I requested PCSpecialist install "two additional separate 8-pin PCIe power cables" so I can plug them into my GPU (not part of the order) without having to do the cable management. My current GPU is an ASUS TUF RTX 3090 OC edition.
I will no longer be able to use that card within a couple of months so I plan on upgrading to an RTX 4090. I might just go for an ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition since I am already using the 3090 version.
My concern, however, is about cable management for power. Will I be able to use my currently installed power cables and simply hook them to an adapter to power the 4090 card?
My PSU is the "HX 1200 Watt 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Fully Modular PSU".
