I'm using a 7800xt, which draws a lot of wattage, and I've been having issues with the extension cables I purchased a few years ago. They worked fine at first, but lately, I've been getting black screens while gaming, especially when running demanding games like Cyberpunk, which pulls around 250w. I was able to replicate the crashes and figured out that the problem lies with the two GPU extension cables. I've even tried a non-daisy-chained configuration using different setups, but I'm still facing the same issues. I suspect the cables aren't supplying enough power from the PSU. Now, I'm looking to buy a new pair. Can anyone recommend a dependable brand that won't cause these problems and can reliably power my 7800xt?

I've heard good things about both Asianhorse and Cablemod when it comes to reliability. Just a heads up, though—the last time I bought cables from Asiahorse, they didn't include the combs they were supposed to. I think I'll stick with Cablemod from now on.
Cablemod is usually a top choice for GPU extension cables. They also sell replacement cables, which means you can maintain that sleek look without compromising functionality.
Thank you for the recommendation! 🙂
Yeah, I would avoid Asiahorse after that experience. Cablemod seems to be the safer bet.
