ASRock Adds Overheating Protection to Its L-Shaped 12V-2x6 GPU Cable
ASRock announced a right-angled 12V-2×6 cable designed to make tight builds neater and to avoid stressing the cable bend radius. The lead is 700 mm long, sleeved in black, and finished with ASRock Classic Green tips so you can quickly check insertion. It meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, utilizes 16 AWG conductors, is rated for up to 600 W, and is designed for systems with power supplies of 750 W or greater. ASRock bundles stickers for Taichi, Phantom Gaming, and Steel Legend builds and offers a two-year warranty. The cable also features a built-in NTC temperature sensor that detects rising temperatures by measuring resistance changes, enabling over-temperature protection when used with compatible Taichi and Phantom Gaming PSUs. ASRock reminds users to follow their GPU maker's power recommendations, to fully seat connectors until they click, and to avoid bending or stressing the cable near the plug. Priced at around $40 (5,980 yen including tax in Japan), it is definitely on the pricey side.
