Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the RTX 3000 series plug placement? It kinda irks me that it juts out to the side.
Also the fact is 12 pin despite only needing 6... why?
I will be purchasing one of these...Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the RTX 3000 series plug placement? It kinda irks me that it juts out to the side.

12-pin GPU Power Cable
The CORSAIR 12 pin GPU Power Adapter Cable connects any Type 3 or Type 4 CORSAIR modular power supply directly to any GPU using the 12 pin GPU power connector, for cleaner cable routing and reliable, safe power delivery.

My foible is failing to appreciate how absolutely perfect I really am! [emoji56]Meh...we all have our foibles that deserve ridicule every now and again....Spyder's is the lack of dusting he does...mine is the complete lack of cable management I do (not to mention the complete lack of skill I demonstrate when I do actually try cable management).Agentcoopers is seeing any bad cable management (hence why I show pictures of mine at all possible times)
Modesty is the best policy...
So my PC which has been in build for 15 days now is actually waiting for the 3080 which I thought would be the case, could be a long wait it seems too.
Ive been told I'm find to upgrade/swap the CPU to one of the new AMD ones on the 5th, which is a good thing.
When the new AMD GPU's come out on the 18th, how does everyone think this will go? same way as the 3080/90's and sell out straight the way?
If I was to swap to a new AMD GPU on the 18th at 2pm or whenever it may be, where would I be in the invisible queue as I already have a system in build?

Is this a good thing? (New to the party)
Which ones are best? I know we don't get a choice, just curious.
Ok, with this being a 3080 thread, I'm not sure if this post is allowed, but AMD has sent out a letter to partners about the launch, not sure how true it is, and should be taken with a pinch of salt as it may not help at all. all I can say is we really do not know how the AMD launch will be as people may move from 3080 to AMD but have a look at this link

AMD wants to avoid the launch day debacle rival Nvidia faced with its RTX 3080 and 3090 graphics cards, which scalpers have been purchasing using automated bots.

Oh yea it's not ridiculously loud but you saying you "couldn't place" sounds similar to me....as I moved my ear closer it sounded like the noise wasn't even coming from my pc (some effect due to the frequency probably). 99% of the time I won't hear it, but I can't ignore it when I do. Thanks, let me know how it goes!
