Good news if you have a 12VHPWR adapter from CableMod, as you’re eligible for v1.1 free of charge. In fact, the brand is offering a €39.90 discount coupon for v1.1 of their adapter. You’ll only have to pay for shipping!
CableMod: a free 12VHPWR v1.1 adapter!
If you remember, there was a little controversy about the use of these adapters. While they made wiring an RTX 40 graphics card easier, they weren’t perfect either. Indeed, once plugged in, the power cable exerted a strong constraint on it. As a result, it could pull away from the graphics card connector. As a result, the connector heats up, as the adapter is no longer correctly inserted, which can cause irreparable damage to your hardware.
This was a serious area for improvement for CableMod, who last month introduced v1.1 of their adapter. This is based on a more secure 12V-2×6 connector. Secondly, the brand eliminates lateral play while reducing tolerances on the male connector. As a result, it’s tighter and less likely to move!
In any case, the company has sent out discount codes for users of the v1 adapter. The latter, worth €39.90, can be used for the following adapters:
In the end, all you’ll have to pay for is shipping. Good news, especially as you won’t have to send back the current adapter, leaving you with two models. Handy for a second PC or in case of emergency! As they say, when it’s free, it’s cheap.
