Posted this in wrong thread, delete pls.  ..WAIT! ..why waste a perfectly good post. Here:
 
 Although I agree, $40 is pretty steep for what it is, but some of the reactions are way over the top.
 

 
 

It is what it is.

Glnk.
Whatever, call it entitlement but this will give EVGA bad rep if others are offering this cable free of charge. That is called service, and we pay for that when we choose premium products over others. Guess this puts EVGA in the bin it belongs.

 
Yeah that post was prompted in response to some of the comments made, maybe went a bit far, sorry if it offends. Kind of.
 
I certainly agree with the idea EVGA could supply it with any of their 3090 cards that use the 12-pin connector, that would definitely be a smart move (and could be factored into the cost anyway, as it will with any retailer who makes such an offer), but as far as just giving it away at cost (or close to it) to anyone who thinks they deserve one - nope. This is a single cable. Individually sleeved cables for say a 24 pin connector usually go for around $20 from random 3rd parties.. so maybe $30 would be reasonable for this, being that it's EVGA and synonymous with quality and service. $40 is a bit steep (as I already said) but I've never associated EVGA with low quality gear, so at least you know you're getting good gear for that premium.

ya considering you can by an entire cable extension kit for 40$. and Cablemods pro series COMPLETE KIT for EVGA for 90$.. and EVGA's own cable mod kits for ... OMG EVGA changed the store listings for basically all psu cables. Now every individual cable is 40$
ROFL. Nice move EVGA....

Corsair have been asking $30 for basic individual sleeved cables, and $35 to $40 for individually sleeved ATX cables for ages, which is pretty much on par with EVGA asking $40 for this special split 12-pin cable adapter, but I don't see people losing their schiff over Corsair prices and threatening not to buy Corsair products ever again, so what's the big deal?
 
All the standard EVGA cables are $5.99 ..but yeah, all the individually sleeved ones are all now showing as $39.99. I thought they were cheaper. When did that change?
 
I have one of those complete kits of EVGA cables btw, they are good value for $90 considering there's 14 separate individually sleeved cables there (including an ATX cable).. even budget places would charge $200+ to sell all those separately. Corsair ask about the same price as EVGA for a cable set, but again, no freak outs over Corsair prices....

It makes no sense that the 24 conductor and a 6  / 8 conductor are the same 40$  price....  This demonstrates that EVGA just chose a flat price and applied to all the cables on the store to normalize pricing between the new 12pin and the legacy cables...

I agree, it doesn't make much sense having them all at that price. $30 for 'standard' sleeved cables and $40 for ATX and this new 12 pin cable would be in line with Corsair prices. There is more involved with this new cable because of the splitting, so an additional labor fee is justified. Raising the price on all the other cables, not so much.
 
 

Is this cable out of stock or not released yet?  Hard to tell...

AFAIK they didn't raise the price on the other cables; here's the cached page from June https://web.archive.org/w...Individually+Sleeved)https://www.evga.com/prod...Individually+Sleeved).].[/link]
 
EDIT: The link doesn't work so look up https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=10&family=Power+Supplies&chipset=Power+Supply+Cable+Set+(Individually+Sleeved) on the wayback machine

Thanks for posting that. Wow.. not much I can say is there, lol. Ouch?
 

 
The 12-pin adaptors are available right now btw [link]... $50 for me once NY sales tax & shipping was added.. ouch.  ..I may have just wasted $50 if these cards are going to be permanently out of stock. No worries, I can sell it on EBay for $1,000 lol..
 
 

Something that doesn't make sense to me is that the 12-pin cable will require using two VGA slots on a PSU.  This appears to be extremely bad for every mining setup out there and here's why:
 
GeForce RTX 3070 max power draw:  220 Watts.
Simple mining rig max power draw:  150 Watts
 
Powering a simple mining rig (approximately 150 maximum Watts) along with RTX 3070 GPUs:
- EVGA SuperNova 1600 (any type) should be able to handle six cards pretty easily.  However, the PSU itself only has nine VGA slots, so the maximum it can hold is four GPUs instead of six.
- EVGA SuperNova 1300 Gold should be able to handle four cards pretty easily.  However, the PSU itself only has six VGA slots, so the max it can hold is three GPUs instead of four.
 
It looks like every PSU will be impacted by this as well...

Perhaps it would make more sense if you consider that NVIDIA recommends two separate connectors from the power supply when powering the 3080:

That in itself is also a flaw for future mining then.

That's a good thing.

Any word if and when these will be restocked? Just realized it was available but now out of stock. Really would like to obtain one.

Do you guys think aib's will be switching to these in the future? Also will these be included with evga psu's in the future?

pretty gnarly
 

Does cable come with the 3000 series?

Reading all of the comments here, if you make a white cable, I will buy one.
