In the field of PC hardware, power supply cables, as the "vascular system" connecting core components, are often overlooked yet crucial. With the rise of customized PC building trends, Gamemax has taken modular power supply cables as a breakthrough, deeply integrating functionality with aesthetic design. This article, centered on the core keyword "power supply cables," comprehensively analyzes how Gamemax's product line redefines power connection solutions.
Gamemax modular cables construct a complete product system based on interface types, covering full-link connection needs for PC hardware:
CPU Power Supply Series
VGA/CPU 2x8pin-B: Specifically designed for high-end CPUs and graphics cards, featuring a black high-density braided cable body. The standard packaging of 40 pieces per box is suitable for bulk PC building scenarios.
RC-CPU8P: A 600mm-long modular output cable with a P8 to CPU8pin (4+4) interface, perfectly supporting power distribution for dual-CPU motherboards and seamlessly compatible with GM-xx and RGB-xx series power supplies.
Graphics Card Power Supply Solutions
VGA 3x8pin-B: A power extension cable equipped with ARGB 幻彩 (rainbow) lighting, featuring 3 groups of 8pin interfaces to meet the needs of multi-GPU parallel connections. The lighting system can sync with the motherboard's RGB ecosystem.
12VHPWR Cable-B: Achieves interface conversion from 3x8pin to 12+4pin, specially designed for the new generation of PCIe 5.0 graphics cards, supporting high-power demands of flagship GPUs like the 4090.
RC-PCI6+2: A 550mm-long P8 to dual PCIe (6+2) interface cable, with a modular design for easy cable management in the chassis, suitable for vertical GPU mounting scenarios.
Motherboard and Storage Connections
MB 24PIN BK: An ARGB-lit 24pin motherboard extension cable with a 250mm length, balancing the needs of compact chassis and back cabling. The lighting effects can be controlled via motherboard software.
RC-SMF: A 500mm-long multi-functional extension cable, splitting from the P6 interface into SATA, Morex, and FDD 4pin interfaces to solve compatibility issues between old devices and new power supplies.
| Product Model | Interface Type | Length | Featured Functions | Application Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VGA/CPU 2x8pin-B | 2x8pin | Standard | Black braided cable | Basic power supply for CPU/GPU |
| 12VHPWR Cable-B | 3x8pin to 12+4pin | Standard | ARGB lighting | High-power scenarios for PCIe 5.0 GPUs |
| RC-MB24P | 24pin male-female extension | 250mm | Short-distance back cable optimization | Compact chassis motherboard connection |
| RC-CPU8P | P8 to CPU8pin (4+4) | 600mm | Dual-CPU motherboard support | Workstation/server platforms |
Gamemax cables use 16-18AWG 规格 (specification) copper wires, with 30% higher conductivity than ordinary wires. Combined with nickel-plated interfaces to reduce contact resistance, they can maintain stable power supply even in power systems above 850W. Take RC-12pin as an example: its 750mm length design, paired with Nvidia's 12-pin PCIe Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 connector, explicitly recommends matching with 850W and above power supplies to avoid overload risks at the hardware level.
The ARGB lighting system is more than just decoration: models like MB 24PIN BK and VGA 3x8pin-B achieve 16.8 million color dynamic adjustments through built-in LED strips, which can sync with the motherboard and cooler lighting to construct a whole-machine lighting effect system. The modular design increases cable management efficiency by 50%—users only need to select corresponding cables based on hardware configurations without using redundant wires, optimizing back cable space utilization to over 80%.
Aiming at the transition needs between old and new hardware, the RC-SMF cable innovatively expands the P6 interface into SATA, Morex, and FDD 4pin, enabling seamless connection between old optical drives, hard disks, and new power supplies. All products are compatible with the modular interfaces of GM-xx and RGB-xx series power supplies, allowing users to gradually replace cables according to upgrade needs and avoid cost waste from overall replacement.
Entry-level systems (500-700W): Prioritize the VGA/CPU 2x8pin-B basic model, paired with MB 24PIN BK to meet basic power supply needs.
High-end gaming platforms (850W+): Must configure 12VHPWR Cable-B and RC-PCI6+2 to ensure stable power transmission for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards.
Compact chassis (ITX): Recommend the 250mm RC-MB24P motherboard extension cable to avoid excessive cable accumulation affecting heat dissipation.
Mid-tower/full-tower chassis: The 600mm RC-CPU8P and 550mm RC-PCI6+2 are more suitable for complex back cabling layouts.
ARGB models require confirming whether the motherboard supports 5V 3pin interfaces. It is recommended to pair with motherboards supporting Aura Sync or MSI Mystic Light for synchronized lighting control. Users without lighting effects needs can choose pure black non-light versions to reduce costs while maintaining a simple style.
A user used 12VHPWR Cable-B to connect an RTX 4090 graphics card and paired it with the ARGB lighting of VGA 3x8pin-B, not only solving the problem of too short original cables but also synchronizing the graphics card power cable lighting with chassis fans into dynamic rainbow effects via motherboard software. The measured whole-machine power consumption fluctuation was controlled within ±3%.
In server PC building, RC-CPU8P dual-CPU power cables were adopted. The 600mm length allows crossing from the top of the power supply compartment to the motherboard CPU interface, avoiding local overheating caused by traditional single long cables. Paired with the modular GM-1000W power supply, the system maintained a power conversion rate of over 92% during 7x24-hour operation.
As PC hardware enters the era of "millimeter-level optimization," Gamemax modular power supply cables have transformed traditional power accessories into dual carriers of performance and aesthetics through threefold innovations: interface standardization, functional modularization, and scenario-based experience. Whether for overclocking enthusiasts pursuing extreme performance or mod lovers focusing on whole-machine appearance, everyone can find precisely matched solutions in its product line—this is the best interpretation of how power supply cables evolve from "functional accessories" to "system-level solutions."
