The cable delivers much more than just a power cord however, it also features auto load detection for when your GPU requires extra juice to perform at its best. It will detect if you have installed two graphics cards and provide up to 700 watts per card.
The design and aesthetics of these cables appear to be inspired by the theme for Overwatch. These are designed to power the ASUS ROG THOR Platinum II PCIe 5.0 12-Pin Power Cable, according to motherboard specifications released today on Asus’s website.

The first photographs of the PCIe 5.0 12-pin power cord for the ASUS ROG THOR Platinum II have been posted. They come from eTeknix, which is working on an evaluation of the new power supply. ASUS has published the ROG THOR Platinum II package contents on its website, which includes the new cable.

The new cable gets its own section on ASUS’s features website. It has a power supply rating of up to 600 watts. The new 12VHPWR plug could potentially sustain up to 662.4 watts, according to Igor’s lab, but after safety and tolerance considerations, 600 watts was chosen.
The connection is rated for up to 9A at 12V, which equates to a theoretical maximum current of 648W. According to more current data given by Igor’sLAB, the PCIe Gen5 connection (12VHPWR H+) will be up to 9.2A, providing up to 662W; however, the Gen5 requirements only allow for 600W.

The PSU does not have a 12-pin port, as seen by images. On the opposite end of the cable are two 8-pin connections. The 12-pin connection is also not a special NVIDIA connector; it is the same as the Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 PCI-Express Gen5 standard connector.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is expected to be the first graphics card to use the new connection when it launches in January 2022. It’s unclear if future PSUs will have a 12-pin modular connection or will continue to need two 8-pin connector cables.
