Hi Guys,
Let me start by saying I am a noob. Really.
Now that we have that clear, I have bought 2 3090Ti Kingpin and am doing slowly a sort of a collectors PC for my personal enjoyment only with Kingpin series EVGA stuff.
Questions: where can I buy the 52u Powerlink, and the PerFE 12 cables? I say this because I am in Europe and the European site has nothing, I repeat nothing. Plus having a colleague in the states that is whiling to help me, the US site and the US support have been useless.
I can pay a premium for these products.
Thank you for all help and hints.
Bregs.

Hello Lowen,
As a fellow european (who also kept his eye on EVGA stuff closely and have alot of info "usually") i decided i would chip in there.
You are a little late for the
powerlink 52u for you to source it by normal means, we never had it on the
EVGA EU Shop, don't waste your time with that site, it has now been fully empty for atleast 6-8 months of any products (fact, i have personally kept eye on it for over 3 years now). For the highest tier products of EVGA we (as europeans) had to start sourcing them from NA through any means necessary for the last couple of major product releases (not saying that this accessory is that, but it was exclusive enough and limited to KP cards).
However, i have seen it a month or so ago on
eBay, it was definetly a premium price, but that is where you will find it, that is the place i would watch, no other reachable site has had them (this stems from the fact that only
EVGA US Shop sold it and in a somewhat limited quantity).
Having your colleague in the states will improve the chances drastically, have him look around locally on eBay and/or other platforms of similar nature (if they exist), i don't personally know what others exist there.
As for you from home, using
eBay.com/eBay.de there is also no problem with ordering, if the product is in fact in the states, it will say if it can ship and import will be displayed on there and handled just fine with you knowing (no hidden charges).
As for the
PerFE 12 cable, i don't know why would you want that specifically, it offers nothing over proper 12VHPWR (or 12+4 or 16pin cable if you like), furthermore if you will be using
powerlink 52u-s, you will be using many 8 pins anyways.
It might be possible this cable can be acquired the same way, keep an eye, but i would say it's not a gain, more like a loss, also it's less likely to appear on the used market, they were more prominent for the FE cards when the first two came with 12pin connectors (which had no sense pins). I would rather get a premium sleeved that is not only practical but looks nice from the likes of CableMod.
From a pure cable management perspective the single 12VHPWR cables would be alot cleaner than two
powerlink 52us, which will use in total 10x 8pin connectors (this might even prove to be a problem for whatever PSU you have, not many has this number), on the other hand as much as it's controversial, i think this powerlink is somewhat beneficial for clean and stable power, especially to such OC cards (having 5x 8pin instead of 4 is also probably in design to account for this).
UPDATE: i found one right now
here , but hardly worth it, especially if you need two.
