EVGA Powerlink 41s REVIEW + BENCHMARK

the only wrong thing I see about this product is that it only costs $60. People who would buy it would spend $200 on it + the more it costs the more buyers remorse kicks in. EVGA is missing out

Giveaway time 🎉

Adding components into the circuit sounds counterproductive to me. No surprises on the results...

It reminds me a product that manufacturer makes just for more rgb. R&D for more rgb

Evga making products that does nothink such a nice inovation !

Call the cops immediately! Someone stole Jufes' beard!

$60 12pin to 4x8pin adapter

Great video

It literally does nothing lol

0 balls tickled me haha

"Powerlink 41s engaged!"

Just buy a UPS instead, after clicking on the affiliate link of course

I've got a evga 1000 watt psu that has some mad coil whine with higher power cards. Maybe that would help with a situation like that.... Who knows.

I have a stupid question do you think the new crappy 1630 card overclocks well why else would it have a pcie power connector

41s, that's how long it takes to realize it's a scam

hello, are released technical data about Raptor lake (eg DDR5-5600 support) today with Intel 12 gen we reduce to bring the ddr5 to 5600mhz, in your opinion, with 13 gen, how long will we be able to bring them? How much overall improvement (in MHz) will there be with the new Intel CPUs and the new Mobos?

Who expected that kekw 🤣

Test all the useless stuff!

honest review NICE!

Idk man I think it’s a pretty good purchase If you want a little more rgb and your $2000 gpu to look like shit while in your pc with 4 cables coming out the side like the octopus baby from alien coming out your gpu.

I assume this product would help with the transient load spikes. I've had my <2 yr old 1300w Plat PSU degrade because of the spikes (confirmed via RMA)

hello, do you think there are or will there be ddr5 banks more "suitable" for intel 13 gen CPUs? somehow or for some reason at the hardware level. (ignoring the MHz frequency)

This is the worst review I have ever seen.

Zero ballz.

Onto the batmobile with

I believe this device is intended to mitigate the OCP problem for PSUs by smoothening out the transient power spikes.

great stuff, thanks

They could of just fit the filtering caps on the pcb of the card if it needed any more than it already have 😂😂

WTF EVGA????????

I think it has to do with "wear and tear" in the GPU itself. I have an EVGA 3080 ti ftw3 and its crapping out on me. im going to have to RMA the card before it is a year old. It has 3, 8-pin connects and we cant seem to find a hot fix for it.

EVGA have had exactly zero products to buy off their website for years in Europe. Nothing is ever in stock, apart from a few keyboards and a mouse if you're lucky. I've been an EVGA Elite Member for over 2 years and still not managed to bag anything.

Why do they waste their time on utter tripe like this, rather than produce products we actually need? You still can't buy a Z690 mobo and the next Intel is already being benchmarked. I have no idea how this company make money. Just goes to show how much they make off the tiny bit they sell.

So I'll admit this is a pretty good test, but you showed something that totally tears down some of your previous videos talking about max clocks on these cards. That VF curve you used where you pull the 1100mv point way up destroys effective clocks, making it look like your card(s) clock very high. I guess if you're consistent with this, then most of the time it doesn't invalidate the testing, but it's definitely misleading for people comparing what their cards can do that aren't using that method.

EVGA Powerlink 41snakeoil

I'm surprised evga hasn't upgraded PSUs to atx 3.0 yet that has a 16pin power connector, I seen news that asus and msi and gigabyte has new atx 3.0 psus to support next gen gpus

Disliked the video coz you didnt show the innards ! But from what I can see there are some really interesting videos on your channel - will watch and maybe sub..

Lmao I think this is for the spikes that can ruin psu or cards and smooths out transient spikes shouldn't tell 3090ti owners to pass until you know what you got funny video anyway bro

So I just purchased the EVGA 3090Ti Hybrid and it comes with a 3 x 8 pin to 1 x 12 pin pigtail. I’ve always heard of using separate PCIe cables, but there’s not an option for that here. Only the pigtail. Any comment?

To be clear, the earlier powerlink devices were all about aesthetics. In your video you claim it contains capacitors but I really don't think it does. EVGA doesn't claim that earlier product helps with power at all. From their website: "The EVGA PowerLink has one primary function: to make your PC look even more awesome." This new powerlink with the capacitors is to help smooth out the spikes. From the new powerlink website page: "The EVGA PowerLink 41s seamlessly connects to your EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 while providing maximum stability, improved case airflow, and glows with fully-customizable ARGB LED." So still some aesthetics, but I believe the main goal of the product is to provide capacitors capable of handling the spikey nature of the RTX 3090ti.

other than having custom individually sleeved cables to be directly connected rather than use their 12 pin to 24 pin cable it's useless. Cash grab for sure.

It looks like you doubled up on a couple of the 8 Pin PCIE connections? I am pretty sure this is intended for 4 separate connections to the PSU. It might be worth running the same series with that configuration.

I am actually considering this as I am running a custom loop and I guess this gives you 675W TDP(150W x4 from 4x8pins and 65W from PCIE), and I guess this is where this make sense as it is at least better than some random 16pin to 4x8 pin as no major manufacturers make any 4x8pin transfers

EVGA must be laughing hard as people gotta worry about melting 16pin cables. This does look goofy but at least power cables ain't melting or a fire hazard.

if it would of redirected the 8 pins to the back it would be worth it just for the looks part of it.. then put the rgb on the front ( for vertical users) problem with the 12 pin is u cant bend them much and being at the end of the card it just makes the card overall length too much to fit into a lot of cases.

I'm going to be getting one to get rid of that cable adapter...I'd rather just have 8pins instead of the 12vhpwr

October 25, 2022, the 16 pin plugs are getting reported being burned, or melting if the cables are bent and theoretically coming loose on any side that's bent. This is a great solution to solve this problem now.

@FrameChasers Do you want to sell your powerlink?

Hi, congratulations for your videos!
Do you know where I can buy evga powerlink 41s?
I've searched the internet but can't find it. :(

I had one of these and it just died.

How are you going to test such tool without a oscilloscope?
