Overview
12v-2×6 PCIe power cable
ROG Equalizer Redefined Power Protection
Patented Design
Reduced Cable Temperature In demanding 600 W scenarios, uneven current distribution can cause hot spots in conventional 12V-2×6 cables over long periods of use. ROG Equalizer helps balance power delivery to reduce thermal stress and maintain stable temperatures. Even under extreme conditions, it keeps cable and connector temperatures within the 105°C material limit for safer, more reliable operation.
Test conditions : Ambient temperature: 55°C / Total Power: 600 W The middle 4 wires of the +12 V cable disconnected to the graphics card 16pin
Enlarge Wire Load Capacity
Standard 12V-2×6 cables are rated for 9.2A per wire, while ROG Equalizer cables boost current capacity to 17A per wire. This is designed to improve the handling of short-term current peaks that may be produced by high-end graphics cards during extreme overclocking or when otherwise drawing a high amount of wattage from the power supply. This enhanced design improves durability under 600 W continuous loads for a significantly longer lifespan than conventional cables, industry-leading reliability, and stable power delivery. 9.2 A -> 17 A *Recommended for use under a total power limit of 600 W
Balanced Power Delivery
ROG Equalizer ensures balanced current delivery from PSU to ROG Equalizer, lowering graphics card connector temperatures and maintaining stable thermal performance below the 105°C material limit. Under an extreme test scenario, we removed the middle 4 wires from the +12 V cable to simulate potential current imbalance conditions that may occur with a standard 12 V-2×6 PCIe cable. Even under these conditions, the ROG Equalizer maintained a temperature of approximately 87.8°C. In contrast, a standard 12V-2×6 PCIe cable reached around 146°C — far exceeding safe operating limits.
*Testing method: This extreme test removes the four middle wires of the +12 V 16‑pin PCIe power cable to evaluate cable temperature performance under maximum current load.
Twice the Protection
Enable ROG Equalizer mode in GPU Tweak III Power Detector+ to activate dual-layer protection, combining hardware-level safeguards with real-time monitoring for enhanced stability and peace of mind under heavy workloads.
Cable Comb
The quick-release cable comb design offers enhanced flexibility for personalized cable routing, allowing users to fine-tune cable alignment and achieve a clean, well-organized build.
Dual-Color 12 V-2×6 PCIe Cable Connector
The 12 V-2×6 PCIe cable connector has a purple design and includes a clear visual indicator for proper insertion, helping ensure a secure connection. Enlarged, gold-plated spring contacts on the GPU-side connector increase contact area with the graphics card pins, reducing contact resistance and improving durability over repeated mating cycles.
ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Compatible
Meet the stringent requirements of the ATX 3.1 standard and supports PCIe 5.1 graphics cards. It supports total power excursions up to twice the rated power and graphics card power excursions up to three times the rated power, helping to ensure rock-solid stability for your PC. Please see the FAQ section for specific instructions on the proper usage of this advanced 16-pin cable.
PREMIUM EMBOSSED CABLES
Made from a pliable premium material, these embossed cables are easily flexible during installation, and they operate at temperatures 50°C lower than the safety limit when routed for cable management.
These cables also meet the rigorous standards of the UL1581 flame test and UL758 certification, helping to ensure a smooth PC DIY experience and exceptional safety.
