It's important to note that this unit will be compatible with RTX 4070 and more powerful cards, but you will need to use the 2x8-pin to 16-pin 12VHPWR adapter included with the graphics card. ATX 2.0 power connectors are not designed to handle the high power fluctuations of modern graphics cards; therefore, if you are building a system with a powerful GPU, such as the RTX 4070, we recommend choosing a power supply unit with the ATX 3.* standard and 12VHPWR (PCIe 5.0) connector.
This power supply unit has fully-modular cables (Fully-modular) – you can connect and disconnect all the included cables as needed, reducing clutter and improving ventilation.
