If you want genuine Honeywell PTM, you have to buy from MODDIY. They ship to India as well : https://www.moddiy.com/products/6061/Honeywell-PTM7950-SP-Super-Highly-Thermally-Conductive-PCM-Pad.html

In my experience they've always been totally fine, they're not experiencing too much wattage even at peak so a cable with even somewhat decent construction will hold up indefinitely. And MODDIY is an awesome source for small obscure parts like that

I ordered a custom cable from MODDIY in the PSU space I put 2019 Mac Pro. I've had no problem with the 5080 since it doesn't pull as much power as the 5090. It is going to three of the 8 pin headers on the motherboard. 3x8pin to 12V-2X6 12" long.

Hey there, MODDIY is one of the few places where you can get genuine PTM7950. https://www.moddiy.com/products/6061/Honeywell-PTM7950-SP-Super-Highly-Thermally-Conductive-PCM-Pad.html you need to figure out what size piece you need, or buy a piece that's bigger and cut it to the correct size. Look up tutorials and read up on what you need to do.

Too much and I'd recommend https://www.moddiy.com/products/6061/Honeywell-PTM7950-SP-Super-Highly-Thermally-Conductive-PCM-Pad.html At which point you can cut to size. Though might not work for none CPU/GPU sections. I'm not sure about best options for the other parts.

Man. Im ready to pay 300$ for gpu cable. I dont care. Thats why I bought cable from here: https://www.moddiy.com/products/6374/ATX-3.1-PCIe-5.1-H-12V-2X6-675W-12VHPWR-16-Pin-Power-Cable.html Is stupid to look something else when you have a number one company that doing business even with NASA ! Cable specifically designed for your PSU and GPU ! Is not a generic cable for universal use like others offering.

Corsair PSUs come with 2x8 to 12v for higher wattage PSUs, for the RM1000x it comes with a native 12v to 12v as do some shift models. They don’t come with adapters. I use a MODDIY 3x8 to 12v and no issues. I did with my old 4090 also. In fact my per pin variance is nearly completely uniform with this cable vs what came with my PSU.

Applied ptm7950 from MODDIY to the cpu(not delidded) and have a thermalright cpu antibend bracket on(the arctic 2 did not come with its own unlike the liquid 3). Using occt, max temp was 88c.

Exactly why I only use MODDIY cables. People can tell me all day that 3 dimple connectors are the best but I’ve never once had any issues with my 4090 or now my 5090 using MODDIY’s cables that use leaf spring connectors. My per pin variance with this cable and my astral are near perfectly uniform. OEM are cheaply made and suck ass, especially Corsair.

I have a 5090 astral, and the Corsair cable that came with my HX1200i and HX1500i both showed horrendous performance pin variance. Got Corsair to RMA ONE of them and guess what? Horrible per pin variance. Bought a cable from MODDIY that’s noticeably beefed up and near perfect per pin variance and no issues since launch.

I’ve been saying Corsair cables are poor quality for awhile now. I figured this out when 3 of their cables for my hx1500i and HX1200i had piss poor per pin variance reasons with my astral 5090. Spent $40 on a cable from MODDIY and all has been near perfect.

Your second purchase should be a wireview pro 2. That 5090 is serious hazard without constant monitoring. Once I had mine installed, I went through 3 separate corsair cables before I found one (MODDIY) that didn't want to burn down my house.

I got a MODDIY cable for my 5080 and it's been solid, showing about 5.5A to 6A on all the pins under full load. I'd highly recommend MODDIY if you need an adapter if your PSU isn't native ATX3.1. The old 12VHPWR to 3x8pin cable I bought off Amazon was soo bad with a spread between 1.5A to 8A with wild fluctuations.

Don't get this one. Get a MODDIY one they come with the best AWG wiring and a circuit board built in. Anything else will get hot/fire hazard and a MODDIY one will let your PSU turn off with the system. Most adapters won't let the PSU power down.

In case you won't find 2.25mm thermal pads, you could always use thermal putty instead. MODDIY sells Tputty 607 and I can personally recommend it.

We have a research lab with hundreds of these things for model training. Currently none have gone up in smoke yet. Even though there are maintenance contracts. If one goes does it woulld take the whole cluster with it since the system obviously would shut down. This would be quite the issue because that whole run needs to be done from scratch again in most cases. But they have been stable for us. The funny thing is, the people that made these racks just bought custom cables at MODDIY in bulk because they used custom casing for better cooling.

Resilient_Beast69
I don’t use Corsair 12v cables. My astral says the two that I have suck ass and have piss poor per pin variance vs my near perfect MODDIY cable. Even the cablemod cable is better. Both of my Corsair cables have some connectors that are incredibly uneven so I guess that’s why. One is from a RM1000x and the other from a new HX1200i. With a 5070 you don’t have to worry though.

A suggestion: I have a feeling you’re asking this because of the messy story with melting connectors and ATX 3.0/ 3.1. If you’re asking regarding the GPU cables, don’t go for CableMod. Go for MODDIY ones because of the “spring leaf” pin design. Watch JayzTwoCents’s video to understand what I mean: it’s something called like “100 inserts” in the title.

You can just use thermal paste, but I'd recommend PTM7950, which is a thermal pad that replaces thermal paste. It's got leaps and bounds better performance and longevity, if you can find it. MODDIY is a reputable place to purchase it

I have ordered many, many times from MODDIY. Mostly cables of all sorts that are niche or when using their custom cable service. I recommend anyone that order to read their FAQ. Ordering custom cables require due diligence and time. The cables are always to spec, very good quality and mostly made by experts in the field (some cables seem to be machine worked). If you pay premium for postage, you can have anything in stock in about 3-5 days, anywhere in the world. I know people that work in R&D at Google, Intel, Meta, Nvidia and Apple that order i bulk from MODDIY too, they are good suppliers of Shin Etsu/Honeywell thermal compounds for the industry (I wish they would source Halnziye HY-P17 tho).

3.0/5.0 and 3.1/5.1 isn't the issue. The big issue was the pin length on 12vhpwr cable were short and were extended on the 12v2x6 cable. MODDIY cables are good cables I use it myself with the wire view pro 2.

There’s only one company I trust for high end GPU cables ….cables designed specifically for your exact PSU, not some generic stuff. They even make cables for NASA lmao. MODDIY.

I wouldn't worry about a 5080, it only draws 400w. Just buy a really good cable like MODDIY and you will be ok as long as you insert it in all the way and not remove it all the time.

I encourage everyone to look into PTM7950 PCM pads. They are a thermal shifting compound that makes thermal paste look archaic. Thermal performance is bananas. https://www.moddiy.com/products/6061/Honeywell-PTM7950-SP-Super-Highly-Thermally-Conductive-PCM-Pad.html

I swapped my cable to a MODDIY and it's been good so far. Balanced across all pins and I'm using a MSI trio and haven't noticed the pin 2 and pin 6 imbalance that most MSI cards been having. I never tried with the stock PSU 12v2x6 only because I have the Asus strix 1200p and I've seen posts that cable is faulty so I just bought a new cable so it's done right once.

GoodGuyAvii
Hey bro, just a heads up that cable angle is pretty aggressive and under tension. With these high power 12VHPWR/12v-2x6 connectors, that can affect contact quality and increase resistance over time, especially under load spikes. I’d suggest rerouting it so the cable sits more relaxed, and ideally switching to a dedicated PSU cable designed specifically for your PSU (MODDIY makes solid ones). You’ll get cleaner power delivery and eliminate unnecessary risk. Once the fundamentals are sorted, then it makes sense to add something like a WireView Pro 2 for monitoring but first make sure the connection itself is perfect.

I just installed a new wireview and a new 12v 2x6 cable from MODDIY and average pin delta (difference between high and low pin) while gaming is .6-.7. With random spikes up to 2+ but those are so small and momentary that I’m not worry about it. Even under an 800w load it’s still less than .5 delta. I’m logging all of this through hwinfo and aquasuite with its own graphs on my stats display.

I couldn't believe how good the results were. Hot spot dropped around 20°C and the fan speed doesn't go above 50%! This thing is quiet compared to before! I've been running BG3 for the past couple hours and the temps are rock solid at 78°C, 90°C hot spot. Out of curiosity, I set the fan speed to 70% while running BG3. I was getting 58°C and 70° hot spot! I guess it helps when the heat can actually leave the die lol. Since this is PTM7950, I only expect the temps to keep getting better with more heat cycles. Anything that's bare die is getting PTM from now on! Thanks for reading! 0.25mm from MODDIY.

GoodGuyAvii
No, they’re not universal and that’s exactly why you need to be careful. MODDIY makes PSU specific cables, so you have to choose the correct pinout for your exact power supply model. Modular PSU cables are not standardized on the PSU side, even if the GPU connector is the same. If you get the correct cable for your MSI A1250GL, it will work perfectly fine. But using the wrong pinout can literally kill your hardware. That’s also why I stick with MODDIY they actually build proper, high-quality cables with correct specs, not generic one fits all stuff.

50mm x 31mm of Honeywell’s PTM7950 (obtained from MODDIY). For total system performance I used 3DMark TimeSpy and it showed an increase of 5.1% in 3DMark score with 19.6% and 3.0% for both the CPU Score and Graphics Score, respectively. Which is a win in my opinion.

I finally got my 12V2X6 to dual 8 pin PCIE adapter cable today from MODDIY! Anyhow got to say that the connector is of very high quality and well worth it. Almost used a no name adapter I purchased on Amazon but after researching the wiring saw so many red flags that I just wouldn't risk it or use it.
