After users found that the LIAN LI EDGE Series PSU’s 12V-2x6 connector is incompatible with the RTX 5090 FE, LIAN LI initially released a statement but redacted it later to create a longer and more detailed statement. Aside from the 12V-2x6 connector on select LIAN LI EDGE Series PSUs, the white models in particular, users also found the Strimer Plus V2 12VHPWR ARGB extension cable also incompatible with the RTX 5090 FE. LIAN LI addresses both issues in the new statement. Read LIAN LI’s updated statement below posted on the LIAN LI sub-Reddit.
With the release of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, we have noticed discussions regarding the compatibility of our EDGE PSU 12V-2x6 cables and Strimer 12+4P cables. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify compatibility details for our key cable products, including Strimer cables and EDGE PSU cables.
As illustrated in the image above, the inner gap of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series Founders Edition graphics card connector housing is 22.5mm. Any connector exceeding this width will not fit. Below, we provide the measured widths of our cable connectors, each with a tolerance of ±0.3mm.
The Strimer Plus V2 connector is too wide and is not compatible with the RTX 50 Series FE cards. The Strimer Wireless is compatible when used with the included 180-degree adaptor. If you purchased an early batch of the Strimer Wireless 12+4P cable and did not receive the adaptor, please contact us, and we will provide one free of charge.
The 12V-2x6 cable of the EDGE PSU varies in width depending on color due to material shrinkage differences. The black version is compatible, while the white version may be too wide depending on manufacturing tolerances. If the white cable is 22.5mm or narrower, then it can fit (as shown in the image below).
To ensure future compatibility, we are implementing design modifications for all EDGE PSU 12V-2x6 cables by decreasing the connector’s width. The updated cables will be ready on February 11th. If you encounter a compatibility issue, please reach out to us by filling out the Warranty Claim form at https://lian-li.com/contact-us/. In the form, please title the issue with "EDGE PSU compatibility issue with 50 Series FE cards".
We appreciate your continued support and will provide further updates as necessary. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
