Chinese PSU and accessory maker Segotep has joined the growing list of companies offering “safer” 12V-2×6 power cables for RTX 40/50-series GPUs. Their new Titanload series promises significantly lower temperatures and higher current headroom than standard cables.
Two Versions Available
| Model | Current Rating per Pin | Target Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Titanload (standard) | 12A | Everyday high-wattage GPUs (up to ~600 W) |
| Titanload EX | 14A | Extreme overclocking & future-proofing |
Both exceed the Intel ATX 3.x / PCI-SIG minimum of 9.2 A per pin by a wide margin.
Segotep’s Own Test Results
According to the company’s Bilibili post and graphs:
- A generic 9.3 A-rated 12V-2×6 cable hit over 90 °C under full 600 W load
- Titanload 12A version stayed below 70 °C
- Titanload EX 14A version topped out at just 62 °C
Segotep claims the lower resistance and higher-grade pins “directly and significantly extend the lifespan of the connector and GPU power module” while virtually eliminating meltdown risk from long-term thermal stress.
Context: The Ongoing 12V-2×6 Safety Race
Ever since early 12VHPWR melting incidents (and continuing with some 12V-2×6 cases), manufacturers have been racing to deliver more robust solutions:
- CableMod (now bankrupt after recalls)
- Corsair, Seasonic, be quiet!, MSI, and others with 12–14 A rated cables
- Third-party sleeved options from ModDIY, DreambigbyRay, etc.
Segotep is taking the “brute-force” approach — simply overspec the pins far beyond spec requirements for maximum safety margin.
The Caveat
All data comes directly from Segotep, so independent third-party testing (Gamers Nexus, Igor’s Lab, etc.) will be needed to verify the claims once retail units ship. User error — poor insertion, bent pins, or cheap extensions — remains the #1 cause of failures regardless of cable rating.
Bottom Line
If the numbers hold up, the Titanload EX 14A cable could become one of the coolest-running and safest 12V-2×6 options on the market — especially appealing for anyone pushing 4090/5090-class cards hard. Launch is imminent, with pricing still TBA.
Worth watching once review samples hit the usual tech channels.
