This specific PSU is not 3.0 compliant and does not provide a dedicated PCIe 5.0 or a 12VHPWR connector plug-in directly into the PSU itself. And with this 'build-in' connector able to providing necessary 600 watts directly to any PCIe 5.0 add-in or graphics cards. In order for the manufacturers in clearing out old stock they are providing adapters or dongles which clearly are in a gray area. According to Intel, neither ATX 3.0 nor the PCI SIG group has sanctioned the use of adapters. GPUs to feature the PCIe 5.0 or the 12VHPWR connectors are most definitely the future and will most likely be readily available later in 2023!
