Because new spec psu’s are in super abundant supply. Seasonic ones aren’t out until December, and I’m not buying Thermaltake crap.

Let me repeat that again..
It costs 25% of the value of a good quality PSU.. that SHIPS WITH ITS OWN SET OF GOOD QUALITY CABLES
Anyways it's a statement on value perception, not that you would go around buying PSUs to replace cables, you could even choose to not buy one
And there's something in between super cheap and unreasonably pricey
Repeating it makes zero difference the bad logic of your statement. If there is no need to upgrade your PSU then why would you spend all of the extra money on a PSU when for 20% of the price you can make your existing PSU work perfectly fine? The cheapest ATX 3.0 PSU with 850w that would be the minimum recommended for running a 4090 is £160, five times what the cable costs. Ideally, anyone upgrading to a new PSU should be getting 1000w+ and those cost £190+. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/pc-power-supplies/atx-3-0-power-supplies?sort=price_asc

Where do you buy good psu for $120 nowadays(and thats for the more expensive 4x8pin)?
Cablemod has always been there, the thing they do requires manual labour and quite some time to do. I dont think 1 person can do this cable in much less than 30 minutes. Thats just $60 per hour, including bom, website, marketing, taxes to pay. I certainly wouldnt bother to do it myself, as I am better off just doing my regular job.
Whats the point of taking a risk to run your own specialized business if you are barely making 100k a year out of it?

42 eur was the price being discussed here . I believe the psu works out to 170 eur. But anyways the point is that I don't see enough value in the cable to even waste my own time irrespective of how cablemod does it. I could have even compared it to the price of a ram stick

Just checking my Cablemod order (Still processing lol) however they've put a notice up now to say since the release of the 4090 their orders have increased 400% fold!
Hardly surprising given what's going on, They should be thanking Nvidia for ******* up with the adaptor cable.
So expect a delay with your orders guy's, One guy said his is still processing after 1 week with an estimated ship date of around 19th November I think it was.
Hope that isn't true it might have been quicker waiting for a decent quality new PSU if the delays are this bad.

Yeah sadly it's looking like a long delay unfortunately.
Are you all ordering off the US site as I can't even see any of these cables on the EU store?
EDIT: Nm, found it.
Out of interests, why do they not sell individual 'standard' cables? If I need one standard cable, such as a replacement ATX24, it seems I have to go through the configurator, with loads of customisation options I don't want, and it costs a fortune. Why can't you just buy an individual 'standard' cable as would be included in a kit?

It's a statement abt value perception I am not going to buy either the psu or the cable. It's just put up there as a benchmark.. to reject the consideration altogether, logic dictates that we should even consider the no deal outcome
Nvidia recommends a 850w psu though, so i would say you are just embellishing beyond what you have written.

I think you are the one who is missing the value perception. You sound like 30 dollars is a lot of money. But its not 1999 anymore, 30 dollars is nothing. You will barely buy a pastrami sandwich for that in NY for example - or 4 donuts in London.

Its not a widespread issue yet. If it becomes a widespread issue I would consider that option among others that would become available. Till then I am covered by nvidias generous RMA policy, also I have a founders edition.
Also idk people were talking abt 42eur yesterday.

I literally wrote that 850w is recommended so wtf are you talking about:
However if you are buying a new PSU why on earth would you buy only the recommended minimum wattage for the current gen? Anyone with any smarts would buy a PSU that give you some headroom for future potential increased power requirements.
