NVIDIA 4000 Series

[LiE]

According to Corsair manual RM850x should come with 3 PCIe cables each splitting into 2 connectors.

Exactly, but the actually box says it only comes with 2 which is totally pointless. It comes with 3 x 8-pin CPU connectors, like why? lol

So yea it's now listed on MM for sale and I have this guy on the way by 10PM - Gigabyte P1000GM, 1000W, 80 Plus Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply

From what I remember (can’t be bothered opening the case) one of the three is built into another cable.?

One is EPS...

 

[LiE]

One is EPS...

All 3 say CPU, not sure which one is EPS. Doesn't help with the shortage of PCI-E connections

 

[lsg1r]

Hasnt 4080 had another price cut today?

Not that I'm seeing....
£899 being mentioned would be ok with me but I'd rather pay less still lol.

Sorry what I meant to type was one *set* is EPS, 3 of them, and 2x PCI-E, but was on my phone.

Just checked the website again and it does indeed come with 2 in the 2021 version, 3 in the previous older version. Strange choice.

Jesus…

Are we going to hit the 24 mark for the 4080 FE!

Hurry up scalpers… buy it up and lose money for Christmas.

The box was nearly as big as my case (actually longer)

How did you find connecting 4 individual PCI-E cables in that small case?

 

[Gerard]

Unusual to see a tear down via the gpu designers.

A complete pain.

I might try re-routing them but I wanted to get it up and running first.

 

[Zeeflyboy]

4090FE safely arrived. Certainly is a bit of a chungus innit!

Sadly I’m busy with work so probably won’t get a chance to play until Sunday but if it’s half as fast as it is hefty I’m in for a treat.

I've got that case and been sizing up 4090s, did you have to daisy chain one of the power connectors? As I'm sure the psu only Has 3 separate ports.
Would love to hear how you're thermals are for gpu and cpu.

 

[VincentHanna]

The PSU only has 3x spare ports for PCIe connectors, correct. So one is using the split connector.

I'm going to run it at 75% Power limit anyway so I don't see a massive problem.

Haven't had a chance to test thermals yet.

 

[dvinell]

4080 board is actually quite small: it goes from the LHS to the power connector.
The rest of it is "all about cooling".

It runs substantially cooler and a bit faster than the AMD RX 7900 it replaced.

 

[Hudzy]

What's the latest on how many individual PCI-E cables you actually should use for the 4090 FE? I've heard the card pulls up to 450w despite the connector supporting 600?

My RM850i only has three connections.

Four will be the number of PCI-E cables that thou shalt use to power a 4090 FE, lest a power shortage cause wailing and gnashing of teeth.

4080 doth not require so much power, and only requireth three.

 

[scubes]

Got my PC all setup for Tuesday when my 4090 gets here...

Just read on the overclockers site 850 watt for this card not much left out of a 1200 watt..

 

[Major774]

Yay… 4080 FE!

We have passed 24 hours. Screw you Nvidia… watch them gather dust!
