Is this an extension cable?

No - it is a full modular cable that plugs directly into the power supply on one end and the graphics card's 16-pin socket on the other.

Which graphics cards does it fit?

AsiaHorse lists 12VHPWR (12+4-pin / 16-pin) cards including the RTX 4070-4090 series and the RTX 5080/5070. It is NOT compatible with the RTX 5090.

Which power supplies does it fit?

Any power supply with a native 16-pin 12VHPWR modular port - AsiaHorse confirms there is no brand restriction. One caution from them: Lian Li and Sharkoon PSUs have shown a high rate of damage reports with this cable, so we recommend not pairing it with those two brands.

How does the ARGB lighting connect?

An included 5V 3-pin male-and-female pigtail links the head's ARGB window to your motherboard or an ARGB hub.

What does Type A mean?

It is the orientation variant of the 16-pin head - the 4-pin sense header faces away from the cable direction. Match the photos to your card's socket orientation.

Seat the connector fully until it sits firm with no gap before powering on - AsiaHorse's own guidance. Avoid the Lian Li / Sharkoon pairings above, and never use it with the 600W RTX 5090.

What is the cable rated for?

480W - AsiaHorse's stated rating, which covers RTX 5080/5070-class cards over a single 12VHPWR run.

Is it stocked in South Africa with a local warranty?

Yes. Evetech stocks this AsiaHorse product in South Africa, ships it nationwide and backs it with a 1 Year Local Warranty, so any warranty claim is handled locally rather than through an overseas importer. It is a full modular cable that plugs into the power supply itself, so check the PSU compatibility notes above before ordering it for an Evetech custom PC or an existing build.

AsiaHorse Hydrus ARGB 16-Pin Modular PSU Cable, Black (Type A)

A full modular 12VHPWR cable - PSU direct to GPU, not an extension - in black, 50cm, with the ARGB window head at the card end.

Straight off their banner: compatible with the RTX 5080/5070 and 4090/4080/4070 series over 12VHPWR - and NOT compatible with the RTX 5090. Rated at 480W.

The head's light window runs off a standard 5V 3-pin pigtail - motherboard software or an ARGB hub sets the colours and effects.

High-precision welded terminals instead of twisted joins - current stability, low resistance, low heat, in AsiaHorse's words.

AsiaHorse makes the 16-pin head in two orientations; this is Type A - the ticked variant on their own picker. Match the photos to your card's socket before ordering.
