Tuesday, April 28th 2026 Corsair Launches ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600W 12V-2x6 Cable to Protect GPUs from Overheating Press Release by Nomad76 Today, 09:29 Discuss (0 ) Corsair (Nasdaq: CRSR) is proud to announce the launch of ThermalProtect, a 12V-2x6 GPU power cable featuring innovative technology that monitors the temperature of a GPU's power cable in real time to help prevent damage to the GPU. Corsair ThermalProtect ThermalProtect enables additional Over Temperature Protection (OTP) for GPUs by actively monitoring the 12V-2x6 cable. Housed discreetly inside a cable comb 30 mm from the connection point, the hardware offers a clean, unobtrusive appearance. If the sensor detects extreme temperatures, ThermalProtect activates, causing the GPU to shut down to prevent potential damage. ThermalProtect PCIE 5.1 600 W 12V-2x6 Cable The first product featuring ThermalProtect is a 12V-2x6 GPU power cable compatible with any power supply with a native 12V-2x6 connector. It offers broad compatibility with modern systems and provides gamers with an easy replacement that adds peace of mind. Installation is easy, as it requires no user configuration and is always active. Once connected, the cable operates as a fully plug-and-play solution. High-Quality GPU Protection The ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable is a premium component for DIY PC builders, offering a flexible design for precise routing of the cable from the power supply to the GPU. The cable features a debossed design for a professional look, enhancing system aesthetics. Compared to multi-cable adapters, a single GPU power cable offers a cleaner installation and can improve internal airflow with reduced cable clutter. Additionally, the cable has dual-tone connectors with gray tips for visual confirmation of a secure connection. The ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable is available in black or white and is 650 mm long, providing ample room for easy cable routing and the ability to blend in or stand out in any build. Availability, Warranty and Pricing The Corsair ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable is available immediately from the Corsair worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors, and the Corsair webstore.
